Coffee anyone ?

Howdy, County Fair has somewhat started here. Been down the past couple days helping and seeing friends. Got lambs sheared, so now just all the little things to get done to be ready.

Good luck at the fair!

Canning after my morning work schedule. Need to look into that freezer!! It's full?! I'm nowhere near ready for that. Canning is starting up but...maybe too many Boston butts. Thaw and can a couple. Better stacking and room for my freezer "heat and eat" things.

Great! Another thing to deal with.

. Got some rain last night!! Any helps....overcast and more possible.

Just go buy another one, lol! Nah - I didn't go buy another one either. Just pull some of that meat out and can it. You'll be glad you did after the work is all finished!

Dog-stacle course. I want to go to the kitchen but

Who's guarding the livestock????

 

[Bruce]

Good question Jan!!!

I think BlueSky needs to train the dogs to fetch things from the refrigerator and deliver them (uneaten, un slobbered on)

@frustratedearthmother I can't buy a freezer -- just spent my $ on a goat! My priorities are in order. I'll can some meats, make more blueberry jam way too much food in there for just me.

Raining here today.

Don't blame you a bit. I wouldn't buy a new freezer either.

When do you bring your new boy home? Noticed my two big guys trying to kill each other tonight. Rut is starting!

New boy comes home between now and Sun. Thu/Fri looking best. We're both having shower fronts blowing thru not in unison. . We're 2.5 hrs apart.

that's my day so far. Milk, feed, go to work. Then I have 4 days off getting better at having 4 days scheduled for ME. Liking it a lot.

Corn canning over for week. Green beans probably for weekend. Dehydrator full of figs . Canner still in kitchen. It will be used for pork chunks or green beans, or both, in next few days. Then can go back to it's shelf, until. A bigger kitchen is what I wish I had built into this house. Too late now.

Chores are over ... Now another cuppa. Looking at a couple things I need to do today! The kids have made an escape hole...scolded but, didn't help. Fence repairs forever. Getting on that first thing. Those rascals are tempting me to run an ad.

Will spray bleach water everywhere in the shed for new guy....again...lime and put in the new shavings. Picking him up tomorrow. . Walk fence line and check out that and add hot wire box. New home, new adventures. No!!! Hook up trailer tonight for easier morning.

Unlike some times, things are mostly prepared in advance.

Green beans have to be picked and canned this weekend! We need 8 day weeks. Too full of milk again...have to do cheese this weekend, too. Grass cutting looms. Does it end?
