I am not sure what some constitute as a sign,...being here in a very small rural community that seems to be 20 years behind everyone else anyway,..I have noticed that most people are beginning to live more frugally,...getting back to the old ways so to speak. Not so many new cars on the road...
Krispy Kreme! :drool
It comes with Homer Simpson syndrome,.."DOUGHNUT!" :gig
Also,.. I want to add the only reason why we go to Wallie World is cheap ammo and some basic pantry items too. No Sam's Club to speak of close enough to bother . We Mom n' Pop shop as much as possible. ;) Oh and...
My mother and I had that conversation about "no amount of money,.." yesterday. She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and thankfully it was caught early and taken care of,..but she is getting some bills now and she was complaining about them. I told her,..its just money,..thank goodness...
Better be careful,...pneumonia tends to sneak up on you. I had my son to the doctor today because of some mild chest congestion from a cold that has been lingering for awhile,....he has pneumonia.
I have a dozen of wooden eggs that I use,..but it usually just takes 6 to get my gals a going. I have one broody right now sitting on 6 eggs,...she started out on 6 wooden eggs, switched her to 10 real eggs,...she then decided she only wanted 6, so she rolled the other 4 real eggs out of the...
My mom and I just got done boiling our sap down yesterday. We had over 12 gallon to boil down and we used a wood cookstove till we got it down so far,..then we put it on the electric stove. It took all of two days to get it all boiled down using the wood heat,..and wouldn't you know it had to be...
That bread looks great! I love making homemade bread,..and eating it,.:hide
I love how you guys are going totally off grid. I wish I could do that here, but right now with the kids I am out voted. I had this discussion with someone the other day about going without electricity. My point was...
Another thought to it IS the social aspect,...you send your well mannered child to school and in the evenings you get back a little monster that has been exposed to every bad behaviour that can be imagined from the kids that their parents could give a holy crap about. That is another issue that...
Tiger lillies are so pretty. They have always been one of my favorite flowers,..also my great-grandmothers favorite :-),.... I have them everywhere planted in bunches. Here I believe many people call them "ditch lillies" because they grow along the roadsides everywhere.
Okay,..I seen this and I might as well chime in with my experience. My son done well in public school up until his 3rd grade year. He was floundering,..bored so to speak and being me,...I didn't like the effects it was having on him. So I decided to pull him out for his 4th grade year and...
Wow! That is SO nice! I love everything about your little cabin,..I especially love the white cabinet in the background. Does it have the flour bin in it?? I hope to find me one like that this summer to put in our little house. You guys have done a wonderful job on everything and I will really...
So sorry! Men can be,...well nevermind :duc ,....I ordered my heirloom seeds from a small company called Heirloom Seeds,...website www.heirloomseeds.com . I have had 100% germination rate and the plants are very healthy looking. Ok,..so I am impressed and this is the first time I have planted no...
I just checked my Murray McMurray order and the shipping was only $13.91 for 25 chicks. I checked around and they were the cheapest on shipping to my area.,.Im in southern WV.
:thumbsup to the Delawares!
Is it not cast??? What brand is it and how old is it??No,.. if you have a surface that you are going to put food on to cook directly,..then no stove black,...but lard will work.
Curing the stovetop? No,..you can go to your local hardware and get something they call "Stove Black" or "Stove Polish",..this will fix it right up. Sand off any surface rust and use as per directions. If it is "bumpy" or has pits,...that is just its age. We just purchased an old wood cookstove...
I would do a hatchery order,.. & get what you want. You can go to the feed stores,..but mostly they are going to be production breeds. Plus the cost of shipping still comes out the same,..about $3 a chick. If I were closer to you,..I would set you up. I have 12 EE's in a brooder, 20 some mixed...
