Enjoy those 60's, I'm sure it will be hotter than you want it to be soon enough! :)

Yeah, that was just crazy weather for you guys...I truly am glad that you made it through without any major issues! Our weather has been ranging in the mid 50's to mid 60's for daytime and still dipping into the 30's some nights. Spring is almost here! Is it normal for you to be in the 80's...

I'm so glad to hear that, sounds like you did a great job, but had a lot of extra work! At least we're prepared for freezing temps here, it's completely different when it's not your normal winter! 💗

We just finished processing the Silkie roosters, I was told the meat was dark, I've never seen anything like it! We decided to skin them, my goodness were they tough! I don't know if it was the age...almost a year or the breed! I'm thinking Chicken n'dumplins!

Good morning! Neither had we, it was crazy, we've never experienced anything like it! All of our other pigs had great appetites. Processing is not my favorite thing to do, but if you're going to raise it, I know you have to learn to deal with it. It will be easier the next time. The hardest...

Good morning Bruce...good to see you too :D Yes it does and I know it, my husband is much wiser than I am, he knew! I don't think he wanted to reinforce what I already knew, he was afraid he'd lose his workforce...:gig Yeah, it's been very hard on her...thanks! :hugs

Good morning Bay and thank you! It was just crazy, we did a lot of the things you've talked about in your pig raising threads...to no avail! Except for eggs...they love eggs. We discovered that they would chow down if we mixed egg into their feed, but there's no way my chickens could meet the...

Hi everyone! I hope life on the farm is good for you all! Life has been crazy here! We got our son and his family moved to Oklahoma. We are still working on the kitchen remodel, the scope was bigger than I realized and when you are doing everything yourself, it can take quite a while. I...

We have a 96 and an 08 RAM! They have both been great pickups! My 08 is also red...my favorite color!

Both very fun rides! :love

I don't drive this very often...but having something to drive is exciting no matter what it is! :) It has the original straight 6 engine in it and it runs pretty darn good! I always wanted to build a kit car! I took autobody and auto mechanics in high school and that was my goal...it never...

Thank you! I hope you have a fantastic year! :)

Hi Jan! Things never get done as fast as we want them to! Putting things in place as you go is a very smart way to do it...otherwise it can be so very overwhelming! I hope you are all in this month. I'm glad your son and gf are getting better! We just started a kitchen remodel and I know we...

Hi Jan! Thank you...I have missed everyone here and will try to get back a bit more often! Are you all moved into your new house now? Merry Christmas!
