A good pie crust is not an easy thing.
Twice I got chicks at the very end of April or early May thinking they would start kicking out eggs about the time the older girls moulted and quit laying, then lay through the winter. Only one ever did. Every chick I've gotten in early June has laid through their first winter but of course they didn't start until most of the older girls had quit for the winter.
21°F this morning. Going to be colder tomorrow but I have to go out and pick up my Thanksgiving turkey at a farm about 4 miles from here.

It's a begin rains day, going through tomorrow. Hmmm. Messes up outdoor work. But, got porch rails painted yesterday. There will be some 2nd coat & touch up, after Thanksgiving -- when rains are over. It's grey, cloudy, windy but warmer out now.
Went well yesterday until my bottle baby goat stepped into a fresh gallon of paint 😱 before I could grab her, she had walked down some steps -- paint dripping onto bricks😖. Snatched her up & went to water spigot just a few feet away....glad it was latex paint. She wasn't thrilled with the bath -- me either🥴 but washed it off and she ran on away after the insult. Now my work jacket has a date with the washer. Have to pressure wash the brick foundation so paint will come off steps, might need some wire brushing 🤷 it'll be ok.
With rain, might be some inside time. It'll be off & on today. I'll decide as it happens 🤣

I have a mental picture of a paint dripping bottle goat redecorating the steps! And @Mini Horses washing paint off the baby! Hahaha!
Coffee is ready! I turned on the AC last night, it was 76F degrees in the house. Turned it down to 72 and this morning it’s 68F in the house. 47F outside and high of 59F today. Wind blew so hard it woke me up, still blowing. Cloudy but not supposed to rain.
Yesterday I unpacked a couple of boxes, sorted through and kept, threw away, then had to put up the kept stuff. Went through a box of papers and made a burn box.

While having plenty of wood I've been using the garage wood stove also. Yesterday while barely running it all day, I decided to use it to cook (calf fries) on. I thought the boys would think it was neat. I forgot how long it takes a cook stove to go from cold to boiling a pot of oil.
Dinner was late and they boys didn't seem to care. I guess they're used to it after a normal Thanksgiving may have 3 dutch ovens plus some cast iron inside and out not on the kitchen stove.

17°F this morning but I had to go get my Tday turkey from the farm 4 miles away. Gotta get there early to get a small bird, first come first served. Got a 14+ pounder, just what I wanted.

You win (until Alaskan comments 
) @Bruce for coldest temps.
21 here this morning when I got up. Went to the gym, and then Wally World for some groceries. Hoping to finish putting together some advent calendars that I sell today, and maybe get some laundry done. Going to make some pie for some friends, and hopefully get ready to head to my parents house tomorrow. Living near the closest big grocery stores makes it extra great for my parents when I come visit. Think I've gotten most the groceries we need for Thanksgiving, really not any extra effort for me, and saves my mom 2+ hours of driving.

Wow, they moved to "nowhere land". I'm spoiled with plenty of shopping 7 & 15 miles in either direction. If I want the big name stores, malls, etc, that's about 40 miles. I rarely go there 🤣yet, I live on a road that looks rural enough 👍. Maybe that's why real estate assessments jump dramatically. 🤫

Definitely "nowhere land" for sure. There are two small restaurants and two gas stations within about 10 minutes, and a small grocery store about 30 minutes away. Otherwise, it is an hour or an hour and a half. Or to have everything, it is two hours. Really makes you plan out your town trips, and use the freezer. Very different from what we had, though we were so lucky to have our animals at home.

I'm an hour and a half to go grab a pack of smokes and hate that I'm to close to neighbors. I loved the old rental place. On a dead end dirt road. Here it's 8 miles to a paved road and a lot of people right next to me but after a mile you can go the next 8 in certain directions with only 0-3 houses depending on which route you take.
