@CrealCritter , which vac sealer did you upgrade to? I have the Food saver titanium which is their "commercial equal" but don't like the amount of extra bag needed to fit in to seal... it will seal bag after bag though with no waiting inbetween like the smaller ones need. I have a smaller...

17 here this morning... up to 46 but dropped like a rock to 20... will get a little colder... We had a little flurries... little puffs of snow like those styrofoam beads in bean bag chairs.... Going to be a cold week all week.

Good old fashioned mouse traps....

Looks more like those "barley straw rolls" that they use in containing oil spills or use in ponds to offset the algae or something...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here... Was 42 overnight, only up to 53 but mostly cloudy and wind is blowing so feels A LOT colder. Went up to do cow and calves, wind was blowing alot up there too. Feel a little more "alive" today at least.. not quite as washed out... Few snow flurries out...

Can't use them now... cards don't have raised numbers anymore.... :th:barnie

Got one just like it out back....works great...

Haven't been on here for a couple months... mostly BYH, and not as much as I used to. Just lots of normal stuff and DS has been off work due to ongoing complications from a workman's comp accident several years ago... looks like they are putting him on long term disability...good for 5 years...

Rosey , um, Grier maybe? Knitted and did needlepoint and such... I am not a big football fan, but way back then when I was a lot younger, used to watch some when the guys in school liked it....

@CrealCritter , didn't think about peaches being stone fruits along with the cherries etc, just that pears and apples were listed and I just naturally think peaches next... Here our mulberries are really tall trees, and this year was a bumper crop... birds went crazy.

No peaches mentioned???? We had Peaches up in CT when the weather still got down in the -5 degrees in the winter and we had alot of snow... Lots of peaches here in VA... Mulberry trees here too...

Those tub pluckers are a god send for doing the chickens. Good for you getting them all done and in the freezer!

Same here on the goodwill prices... cheaper to buy new... WITH lids, at Walmart or other stores...

Sitting looking at the BEAUTIFUL RAIN that we have been desperate for... falling on the garden.... and the lawn that needs mowing.... and the hayfield across the road....

Type of Luffa????

Maple syrup here runs in the $45-65 range for a gallon..I think it was $54 last year most places.... smaller amounts are proportionately higher due to having a "set amount of cost for packaging".... I have had Birch, and walnut, and one other kind, I am thinking it was poplar..... Birch is very...

Sugar maples will give the sweetest syrup... there are different types of maples. Read anything about the size and number of taps... do not over do the tree. Don't know about your climate there. You have to have freezing weather, then as the days start to warm above freezing the sap will...

Been some fog here mornings and we have been getting some rain in the aft/eve... Had 1.3 inches in the rain gauge this morning... very welcome. Spring at the one pasture getting very low. @CrealCritter ... next time you empty the water trough... put more blocks under it around to distribute the...

Was an interesting post @CrealCritter .... There are a few things that don't really pertain to the small farmer... and the size is one of them. I would rather have a shorter legged animal than a tall one... an old farmer said to me one time is you can't eat the air under their belly... meaning...

I think that looks more like a FLOCK.... it looks like sheep.....
