AND,, Happy New Year!!
Just another Wednesday here at my house. I had family in and out the last two weeks.
So, on with the day to day business.

I just refilled my hummingbird feeder, I have 2 that stay all year.
I want to get the instant pot out and pressure cook my turkey bones for broth, :old get all of the throw rugs washed, get the celling and walls dusted down, all the kitchen cabinets and drawers wiped out along with the outside of the cabinets. THEN gather nick knacks and dust / wash down all the furniture; pitcher frames; window blinds; and wash the inside of the windows.:old
THEN-- hopefully I can get all this done by Friday and YES,, MOP,
I have been putting this final chore off since last May. Its been a rough year and I have let my standards slip. :th

its 6:30am,, Its Bible study time and then get moving.

Have a great day!!!

I have done a few of those things……a few. ALL of them? Maybe spread out over a year? I’d rather go outside and play. After stomping around in mud and manure, my house looks pretty darn good. :lol: :lol:

Holy Cow - if I dusted and cleaned like that my house would fall down, lol. Sometimes I think the dust and spiderwebs are all that's holding it together. :hide
I love you for saying that! Me too!

Federal Standard of Identity for Butter

For the purposes of the Food and Drug Act of June 30, 1906 (Thirty-fourth Statutes at Large, page 768) “butter” shall be understood to mean the food product usually known as butter, and which is made exclusively from milk or cream, or both, with or without common salt, and with or without additional coloring matter, and containing not less than 80 per centum by weight of milk fat, all tolerances having been allowed for.
(Mar. 4, 1923)

What are the federal grades for butter?

Butter can be designated as one of three different grades; U.S. Grade AA, U.S. Grade A and U.S. Grade B. Butter must contain a minimum of 80% milk fat. To be graded, butter is scored on four characteristics; flavor, body, color and salt. The grade can be found on the packaging.

now that's a sliding scale...

Same here,, and I have put it all off all year,, I think the last time I actually, not just said I was going to mop, but actually followed through by the days end was before last Easter.
I do my everyday chores and then work outside.

Yesterday I started in and got things picked up, gathered rugs to wash,, and about 10:30 I had a ragging headache and felt nauseated ,, I took 3 ibuprofen but it lasted only until 1:30,,,
