Thanks! I will :)

I tried my hand at canning today: I ended up making 7 pints and 5 quarts of dill pickles. I'm trying out different recipes to see what we like best. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and I believe all of my tops have popped. Tomorrow I'm planning on making bread and butter pickles...

Agreed! My veggies from the garden also taste better than what the sell at the store.

I would not have been happy either.

Today was hot! It's going to be in the 90's and humid all week. Hello Kentucky summers. I found lots of wild blackberry bushes today though. It was by accident. I was riding the property line on the four wheeler and just happen to notice a blackberry bush. I rode all along trying to find more...

Just a few! Lol

So I picked some squash today Got it in the freezer and ready to eat another day. The zucchini is getting ready to come in also. My mom had the first one tonight and said it was really good. I'm going to pick a few to cook tomorrow night. All the rain and sunshine we've been having lately is...

I feel like I've been running around like crazy since Wednesday. That's when I picked up my MIL. I got a few odd chores done around the house which is good. I took her home on Saturday and then came home and helped my hubby and brother level a spot in his yard for a pool, next door. Sunday was...

I hate to hear that. I'm pretty lucky to have a good relationship with both my mom and my MIL.

Been a busy couple of weeks. My daughter got strep throat so I've been taking care of her and trying to keep the house disinfected so no one else would catch it. School is out for the summer now but of course they had a million end of the year programs to attend. And of course the garden is...

Guineas are here!! These came from cackle hatchery. Ordered 15 and they sent 17. All arrived alive. They are st run hatchery choice and they ended up sending 1 white, 2 royal purple, 2 pearl grey, and 12 lavender. They sure are cute, and tiny. They won't stay little for long though I'm sure.

From what I've been reading it looks like I'm going to have to plant both blueberries and raspberries in containers as well. I planted the two blackberries today next to the two existing plants. They are all along the far bank of my pond. They won't get in the way there. Near water and against a...

I'm loving this time of year. Yesterday I found honeysuckle blooming so me and the kiddos entertained ourselves all afternoon working on getting out that one little taste of honey out. I've got lots of blooms on my 2 blackberry bushes. I planted them last summer and they've tripled in size...

So true about the VA. My dad goes through the VA and we know all about the joys of dealing with them. We have a clinic just 30 miles from where he lives but to get a decent doctor he has to drive about 3 hours to a different clinic out of state. I seen on the news the other day how a VA clinic...

I think I'm going to have to invest in some bird netting as well. Hubby replaced the broccoli and cabbage once and they already ate it again. Last time I checked I'm down to 2 of each but they'll be next im sure. My mom says it won't be long before I'm one of "those" people who are sitting in...

Thanks Britesea. They are getting braver but still not going to the water. I think they are going to find and eat every patch of clover before going swimming. Deb, from what I read it was only chicks that came from that one hatchery. I got lots of weeding done in the garden over the weekend...

This is Princess Bella. Bella for short. Obviously chosen by my kiddos :) she's a 13 week old beagle. I'm loving the Black and Tan coloring. She's a spoiled baby already! We let the ducks out today and they went immediately to the clover. Gorged themselves and settled down for a nap. They don't...

Let's see...early this week I had the stomach virus, finally got over that and then we got a puppy! Now I'm getting ready for a yard sale tomorrow. Been a busy week. I wanted to put the bantams in the coop this weekend but its going to be kind of cool so I may wait. I'm planning on letting the...

They told a few horror stories at the class. Moral of the stories; follow the directions exactly; and food safety. The lady who taught the class had us can a few things for hands on experience and it seemed pretty straight forward but she said we can call her anytime if we have any...
