    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Consuming my coffee. Really (!) need to tackle a list today. Slacked yesterday like a "day off" 😉 so minimal work but, errands & a load of feed got attention. Good weather until Monday, they say. Hope is eternal 🤣 so is the "to do" list.

    Food prices June 2021

    So much goes into food prices, beyond profit mark ups. There's labor, transport, gas/diesel, containers, fertilizers, seed, and more! Plus weather can make or break a crop. Plus pest damage. Then feed, water, bedding, power, housing, if animal. These are all part of the trickle down...

    Yep. There's gonna be increases. I rarely use paper towels, opting for wash & reuse. But TP ? Yeah, I keep a supply. Only me here, so not bad. Watch for sales, buy a little, that's me. More meat buying here at very best sales, I'm not out of anything. Plus, I have meat on the hoof. And...

    Hatcheries are so sold out!! Most have anticipated ship dates of Aug thru Oct 😱. Gonna be a lot of chickens for sale by buyers who "changed their minds" 🤣 If a hen isn't broody soon I'll crank up the Bator. Hey, I'm giving eggs away now -- might as well sell chicks.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Consider a learning class. Set a date, a fee, have instruction & hands on training. I've seen a few here for that, also milking classes...goats/cows. Yep, they advertised on craigslist, etc. They did ok. Of course, depends on market & housing area. It's a thought.

    I'm relaxing this morn with coffee. Home all weekend, no rush, nowhere to be! Wow. This is nice☺️ Garden planning is my only consideration right now. Believe I might need to buy a new mower battery -- will know once charger comes off. Not mowing yet but, pulling the yard cart.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    Today I'm going to seed planter trays for garden starts. 😄👍 Things that do best for started plants -- tomato, peppers, eggplant, etc. Most other veggies are direct down here. Garden isn't ready for that part, maybe 2 weeks out. Usually I'm further ahead but, crazy weather has held me up...

    Cornish Cross 2025

    I like fried chicken livers. Also calf liver with onions. No pork liver. Some foods are just not palatable 😋 But I like brussel sprouts, too....strong tastes aren't for everyone.
