DS (14) bought me 3 one week old chicks this morning at Trade Days 1st Saturday event we have every month. Our two broodies just held up their wings and they flew in with their other 5 chicks. The man who sold us the birds said two were Swedish Flowers and one was a blue maran. The maran is more...
I heard about someone making "mock" apple rings out of large zucchinis. I'm hoping to get some to try canning some for the winter. I know I've made "mock" apple pie out of zucchini and it was really good (just remember to take out the seeds!).
I just came out to check on the nest when the meanest hen was off the nest and there was a little black fluffy butt hopping around the red broody. She was puffed up and growling (?) so we backed out and left her alone with the baby(ies ?).
I can't resist little fluffy butts! :love
I definitely have two broodies. One is a cochin mix and she is mean, mean, mean. She is jumping on everyone if they come near her even if she's eating and not on her nest. I can't even tell which production red girl is broody because out of the four I...
My tomato leaves are curling so I'm thinking of trying something on them in case it's a buggy problem but if it's virus related then it's just bad news. One of my plants I thought was a potato plant that I hilled up a couple times is looking like a tomato plant now. It's half the size of the...
Someone once gave me a couple of bare rooted fig saplings. I forgot and drove home with them on top my car (sigh). One day I would love to try again. Maybe make it home and plant them! My grandson loves Fig Newtons and I've heard fresh figs are unbelievably delicious. A neighbor gave Mama jars...
I've got so much to do but the grands visiting are putting me behind. I did get the garden watered but except for what absolutely needs to be done I have to watch the little man especially. He's almost two years old and does a great impression of a little tornado, lol.
I can almost smell the...
I love soup base although it cost about twice what Bee pays for it. A little bit goes a long way for a little more flavor. I'm thinking of making chicken and noodles this week for supper. I have some chicken canned but I want to use what I have in the freezer. I gotta clear some space in the...
Yeah they have to start somewhere. DS who is 15 and his friends strut around like peacocks shirtless trying to show off those muscles. My granddaughters all practice their flirting skills with their daddy's or Grandpa.
