bob, that would be terrible! we do have some wild pigs in the immediate vicinity. :barnie

I had thought I was easing them into the alfalfa - but not. since I've backed way off, their gut has returned to normal (thank goodness). i'm going to have to sell half of them because they're taking down too much of the forage & i'm needing to supplement. that was not what I had in mind. my...

I think the oatmeal idea is a good one. by logic, that should work. Bay, you always have such great solutions too. ACV & honey. that's a unique one. i'm going to keep both in my hip pocket for future reference. I've withheld the alfalfa for a couple of days & though their backsides are not...

i suspect we will see real dr shortages. articles indicate many who can will be leaving the practice as soon as they can rather than deal w/upcoming headaches. i don't see nursing being affected the same way - in fact, perhaps nursing will grow - especially nurse practitioners.

i have to buy my cranberries living down here in Texas. i just bought a big bag. i'm going to make some cranberry bread w/orange icing drizzled on top. i love cranberries. growing up i lived next to an old abandoned cranberry bog.

bay, I've got a roll of hay available for them, but they just flat won't touch it. i thought i was going to be sitting pretty having all this hay for them this winter & they're showing zero interest. maybe as forage gets thinner & thinner as winter comes they will decide to give it a try...

stunning. I still have fantasies of traveling in an RV to places like this.

marshall, you are a modern miracle and a survivor to boot! with all these complicated issues, I hope you have the easiest of possible times.

I have been on the hunt for fresh lard to use for pie crust. lard that is NOT homogenized (like all of it is in the grocery store) is supposed to actually have nutritional benefits AND make the most perfect flaky pie crust. I haven't yet found a source.

in Mexican food they use chocolate for things like mole. I wonder if it would be a good fit for chili.

what a beautiful harvest. I want to grow carrots. I will try again. your little orange peppers look a lot like habanero. they're the number one hottest pepper around. I like hot - but I can't handle those.

I've had mine in the same place for two years. they've done great, but I want to move them next year for other reasons.

I've introduced alfalfa pellets too quickly and given them diarrhea. i'm providing free choice minerals, baking soda, and backing off the pellets. any advice? thanks.

our business is providing nice clean low income housing for people (mobile home community). we've run this place nearly thirty years & have worked hard to provide a nice safe community for people to live and raise their families. I hear it from these people all the time now. their hours are...

thanks! that's good to know. i'm going to hunt that one up. I haven't ever fired up my canner. it's still sitting on a shelf in it's box in pristine condition. I will use it. I will use it. I will use it.

snow? that's incredible! today, I planted my garlic. first time for me. I was reading that it needs cooler soil temps & that's why it doesn't do so well in Tx. Therefore, we're supposed to plant it deep so the soil temp doesn't get too warm in spring. I planted it 6". we'll see.

the cinnamon is such an interesting idea. have to try that. I would be inclined to use a fatter meat product. 95% lean is pretty bare of fat (i'm of the belief that some fats are good). fresh cilantro tied in a bundle & removed when done is good. chili - that sounds good. I need to go to...

i'm just now reading your posts - I missed it. such a tragedy. these unexplainable things that bring such pain are hard to deal with. I hope your daughter continues to improve & i'm glad your community is reaching out to the family. I know the pain of losing one your love. nothing eases the...

i'm going to clean house today - because I must. however, Tuesday will be a garden day (& clean out the chicken coop day :sick ).

what beautiful pumpkins!
