Saw the "system" reported for huge rains, winds & tornado concerns....up into Ohio, even. We have a twin system further east, not as severe, they say. :idunno
Everyone hang tight & report in after. :old🤞🙏🙏
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.
Impressive! You really filled the pantry. Here, I can a few soups but, mainly garden veggies and a smaller supply of meats. I keep a winter of storage veg I grow, squashes, potatoes, onions, etc. the idea, of course, supply max amount of own foods. A separate freezer is normally full. I...
Warm here. Wet out from night rains. Just sitting to enjoy my coffee, slept late, no rushing today. Right now, I have no job work until next Tuesday. Home all week!! 😊
Ooh, @frustratedearthmother that quail sounds good! Creative, too. You were getting all kind of flavors.
I had a steak with side of butter pecan ice cream :th
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.
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.
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...
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.
Heard about the quake. Sad for them.
Worked all day -- yeah, still have that habit, a job.🙄
In for the night. My goal for weekend at home, start veggie seeds! Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc 😁
