Larsen Poultry Ranch - homesteading journey

I have lots of cow panels and hog panels. I hardly ever have loose ones that are not assigned to something important. I use them for all sorts of things. Your bean trellis looks good and it will last a couple or more years, then you can do something else. It works for now.

I remembered to turn the water back on!

The trellis was made with 1x2s and electric fence wiring. If the frame had been made of metal instead of wood, it would last a very long time. Hubby says we should have used a hog panel instead. I didn't want to pay $30-40 for a single 16' panel and then cut it for a trellis.

I did that, cut cattle panels to make trellises. The narrow sections left over were later used for my clematis.

Kid 1 wants to be a dinosaur for Halloween, wants the whole family to be dinosaurs. I think I'm going to sew spikes to sweatshirt for kid 3. There's a dinosaur costume kid 1 wore last year that kid 2 can reuse, so just need to get something for kid 1. And figure out if I'm supposed to be a dinosaur too. Maybe hubby and I can go as dinosaur wranglers?

He could be Muldoon:

I won't have my two younger granddaughters for Halloween this year. They have activities already planned. So I'll load up on candy and go sit on the tailgate of my truck in the parking lot at the senior citizens center to pass out candy.

On Tuesday kid 2 was running and tripped, fell face first into the side of a chair and put his tooth through his lower lip. Had to go to ER for a stitch.

DS2 fell on the slide at the park when he was 2 and bit right through his lower lip. One year we were at the pediatrician and ER so many times with stitches on the kids that I was afrais we would get a visit from Child Protective Services!

Sister in law bit through her lip about this same age rough housing with her older brother (my hubby).

During grade school, my parents had to take my brother to the ER three times in one week. My mom was worried she'd get reported. He cut his leg on a piece of metal from the homemade dirt smoothing grading thing he had hooked to the back of the tractor to smooth the go cart track. And then he burned his leg on the tail pipe of a dirt bike. I forget what he did for the third thing. Mom wasn't happy. He healed up just fine though.

Kid 2 got his stitch out, there's a pink line but its not too noticeable. Especially if he's eating strawberries or raspberries, then you can't see it at all lol. I think it'll heal up ok.

Found another pumpkin! I'm wondering with the weather change, if i should trim all the other flowers and non-producing vines so the plant will concentrate on the ones that are there instead of making more?

Yes on the pumpkin question.

Now talking with hubby more seriously about moving out of state. Had some road bumps with the projects we are trying to do to improve the property. We might just focus on building a nice garage and getting as much as we can for the property and sell.

Not sure where we'd go though. I don't want snow, we both want a decent growing zone. I think my job would be ok since its 100% remote, but I don't know how the health insurance would change, it's through my job. Hubby would have to get a new job. He's been an electrician his whole life.

We've got extended family in Florida, Texas, Colorado, Georgia, and Tennessee, friends just moved to Pennsylvania.

So frustrating.
