    Garden Hose End Protection From Corrosion or Lime Scale

    One of the troubles I have with (some) hoses is if the end swivels too much and I can’t screw a spray nozzle on tightly enough because it just twists the hose end around and around instead of screwing onto it. Sometimes I am able to get it on all the way with no leaks, but other times it drips...

    The Cat's Outta the Bag!

    I have a cage like that! This came with a pear shaped candle in it, but I switched it out for an old cat candle because I thought it would be cute.

    What are you canning now?

    Last 8 pints in the canner and here is what’s left. So 65 pints total from this many bones, and about 96 hours of slow cooking. 8 times running the canner:

    What are you canning now?

    That is a very generous offer. Thank you! I will have to try to remember that if I do. Thank you! Only seal once…😉😉 There is already Sharpie writing on those that I couldn’t get off. 🤭 Thank you!

    Ducks ALIVE in 2025!

    This looks exactly like a side table (not full size dining table) that we had from my husband’s grandmother. I don’t think ours had a drawer. It was actually supposed to go to my sister in law but we owned it for 10 or 15 years until someone driving to Colorado had room in their vehicle for it.

    (Apologies to folks who are on both forums, this is a repost from Sufficient Self because I know @ducks4you isn’t on there.) I’m doing another marathon of broth. Beef this time. On Easter I was in Meijer and found a prime rib roast marked down to $7/#! (And also a marked down brisket, but in...

    Sewing and other projects, starting February, 2025

    This is the one in Rockville, Indiana, correct? We visited there during the Covered Bridge Festival once and I’ve thought it would be nice to go back during Billie Creek Days.

    Green onions

    I save the root ends from my grocery store green onions all winter and plant them just off my porch (door that is closest to my kitchen). Then I have fresh ones at hand all year without having to buy any (well, not too many-depends on if I harvest them faster than they can regrow.) They often...

    What are you canning now?

    I was watching this video yesterday morning and thought I would like to try canning her beef stroganoff. Then in the afternoon when I was doing my regular weekly grocery shopping I found rump roast on mark down! (They also had onions on sale 3# for $1!) So today is canning day. 😊
