He is doing good, he has been working on knives for the April Eugene Or knife show,
He re set some gate posts that were leaning bad, he got the walk behind electric wheelbarrow put together and is waiting for a dry day to get the wood chipper run ready.
He has church Elder board meetings , we’d. night Bible study. He keeps himself busy.
He does his Bible reading and workout every morning. We stick to our strict eating style, grass fed organic no processed no sugar no carb ,
His life is in the Fathers hands. We will do our part and trust unwavering He always does HIS.

Jesus is Lord and Christ

If they insist on red, I'll take the bugs. Cochineal isn't an issue for me, I eat water bugs.

That said, I've noticed that beet juiced is used in much of the things I buy now.

I want to try dying fabric with cochineal/carmine. It's a pretty color. Hmm maybe should do easter eggs with it. Different from the tumeric then baking soda red

Onion skins do a nice job for dyeing eggs.

I did several natural dyes a couple years ago. All were pretty saturated being over blue and green eggs. They looked quite pretty

Left to right to best of my memory

Beets I think, onion skin, turmeric and onion, turmeric, red cabbage I think, blueberries. Didn't like the blueberry one as much.

Onion and turmeric are the easiest and best dyes

@Hinotori those eggs are awesome. I remember your posting pics back when you did those. Enchanting!

Sun is here today been overcast & I've been working in stores, so this and nice temps are appreciated for a weekend off. Twin goat kids born at dusk. Checked on at midnight, up and walking with Mom this morn. Gonna go snuggle them shortly. It's the fun part of goat raising these little devils

Slept in until alarm at 7. Having coffee. Considering things to do while listening to hens singing their egg songs. Watching weaned goat kids romping together...see green grass showing well. It's a great morning on the farm.
