Order more chickens, ducks, geese. :celebrate Tell the family everytime they get on your nerves you will order even more. When they do get on your nerves remind them you see more chickens, ducks, geese, goats or whaever else you can think if, in your immediate future. Some people practice...
I wonder sometime if my life will ever be my own again. I have spent the last month trying to clean out my moms house. Work all week. Drive the 90 miles to her house, work all day, drive home, get up the next morning, drive the 90 miles back, work all day, drive home and get up and go to work...
I wondered what happened to you and missed your posts. I kind of drifted away myself and had a crappy year. Bad days are one thing but bad years are so overewhelming. You sound so happy now though. Congrats on the engagement and I look forward to pics of that gnome garden which is complete so...
I love baskets. So, I have baskets with plastic containers hidden inside. Glass canisters and jars with dried beans, rice, etc sit on counter top, on top of fridge, etc. All artfully junked up. LOL I even have dried peas and beans in some really cutesy glass canisters sitting in the living...
My dog is freindly. Way to friendly most of the time. He can get on your nerves demanding that you pet him. He has never show any aggression. Ever - not in his 8 years. No matter what torture some unknowing child does. However, he is a dog and when people ask me if my dog bites, I simply...
What is the leash law in your area? That overrides any agreement with a landlord. I agree with everyone else. Call the sheriffs dept, animal control and your councilperson or supervisor. Document, Document, Document. No documentation equals No incident. What type of dogs does you neighbor...
Feathers and straw both present problems. Even if you use a very heavy ticking they will work their way through the ticking and become a sticking you while you sleep problem. Straw breaks down quicker than the feathers though so it would have to be replaced often. The straw will also create a...
hqueen - sorry I missed your post completely. Did you add a few drops of lemon juice to each spoonful of the honey/onion? I don't know that the lemon helps anything other than the after taste but I always make sure I put a couple of drops of lemon or lime juice in each spoonful. Do you think...
I did the "wake up when you wake up thing " yesterday. It was nice. I slept in til 6:00. Which is a whole 30 minutes longer than normal. Today was a little better. I slept til 6:15 but probably only because the dog woke me up at 3:30 needing to go outside. I am like, what, the coldest...
No snow here but the temp is 22 this morning. The ground is frozen. The first time this winter season. Thats really bad because I have been thinking about all the rain and no freezing temps. That equals mega bugs for the spring and summer. We really do need a good hard freeze for a few days...
Sounds like a lot of us are having the same weather patterns. Pinkfox you are soooooooooooo right on that tease thing. Bipolar ummmmm. Maybe you are right.
DD I agree, tired of those boots tromping through all the muck but the one good thing is I have this fantastic calf deep water hole...
Somewhere here (probably in the recipe section) is a recipe for gingered carrots. I think it came out of Nourishing Traditions. I just have a vague memory of the talk about how good it was.
I don't have a recipe so to speak but we do eat a lot of steamed and sauted veggies. Depending on the veggies and how long they will be sauted or steamed as to how I chop, shred, dice or slice the carrots. We love steamed broccoli and caulflower with peppers, onions and carrots added or snow...
FC- Landreth Seed website has some really neat container garden carrots. If you go to their website and look on the left hand side you will find Container Gardening. There is a lot of things there for container gardening and if I am not mistaken, they are the oldest seed company around. They...
I use to have that egg problem. Way to many. After the fox cleaned out my silkies and then a month later decided my laying hens were fair game as well and took all but 6. Then my neighbors cat decided that 2 of those hens looked like fun play things I am now down to my 9 corish bantum hens...
