:hugs glad to hear everyone's okay :hugs

We have... propane lanterns, bottles, heater that attaches to a tank, atleast 1 or 2 tanks generator hammers & screwdrivers (honestly I don't know what other 'hand' powered tools DH has) axes for chopping wood or ? woodstove for heat & some cooking couple of can openers including an...

:hugs to everyone on the east coast...you guys are sure getting hit with natural disasters. Whatever you all do.....be safe! :hugs (I wonder how my brother & his wife are doing with all that's been going on...they moved to NC about two years ago. :fl )

Okay, so call me paranoid over nothing if you want...but I do find the implications of this just a bit unnerving. To follow my thought process on this... Libyan rebels have plundered Qaddafi's son al-Saadi's home finding amongst other things, a business card for a company that al-Saadi is a...

My Mom had one years ago & had surgery to remove it.....sorry I don't know about home remedies :hu

:hugs Don't worry too much....it's only hormones runamuck. If ya think preggers is bad.....just wait until they work in reverse, as in hot flashes, mood swings, crankiness, etc. You know, the big CHANGE....That's when they really start looking at you as if you had 3 revolving heads with horns to...

Several days ago I let them all out of the box to be loose in the yard so Momma could teach them all those 'chicken survival techniques' like scratching, pecking, dustbathing, etc. It was kinda funny to watch when Momma would try to scratch & because the chicks were right there under foot they'd...

Okay these little buggers are growing by leaps & bounds and yesterday I noticed they've been testing out their wings and legs AKA jumping & fluttering/flying......as in atleast 2 ft high or better. It was a good thing it hasn't been windy or they'd have taken off like little jets :lol: How soon...

Wait.........found something.....had to go to Portland news... http://www.kgw.com/news/Portland-police-recover-stolen-goat-128249083.html and even this is kinda comical

No the goat WAS stolen, and since it was reported as tongue-in-cheek it may well have been an older kids prank since a vehicle was used. I tried to find the story on the news station website, but couldn't find anything about it. The reporters were making it as a joke, but I wasn't sure if the...

:clap YEAH...that is awesome news. Thanks be to God, our Heavenly Father! More prayers going up. :fl

wow, that's awesome! Sounds like gardens are doing well over all. Yeah I forgot about lettuce, spinach & radishes. We've had several pickings of these. Then I let the romaine lettuce and radishes bolt to seed. I really need to get an area cleaned out/weeded so I can plant for fall, I just...

ummm...would that be Chocolate by any chance?? :drool

I must confess..... :hide I haven't canned anything this year.....YET!

Since there are so many other threads about 'what did you freeze, can or dehydrate today?' I thought I'd start one about our harvests. Last years garden harvest was minimal to say the least since we didn't really get any summer to speak of and this year has been slow in coming, but I think it's...

:gig

To compound the problem of using more corn for bio-fuel, here in WA it was recently reported that 'they' (I don't remember who is 'they' either the governor or biofuel industry) are trying to convince Eastern WA farmers to replace their wheat crops with another NON-EDIBLE crop to boost biofuel...

There is also a pole variety called 'Kentucky-Blue' it's a cross of the two, and you can save the seeds from it....I've done it for years and they are great. I had my first picking last night for supper & stuck some in the freezer. They are tender and flavorful. They are a bit slow to put on...

Last night while fixing supper the news was on and I had to do a double-take.....they were saying someone outside of Portland knapped some farmers goat. The goat was found several miles away unharmed & was returned to owner. The story was reported more as a 'on the lighter side' and really was...
