On my second cup of coffee. My throat was like raw hamburger meat, swallowing hurt. What to deaden the pain? AH-HA! I found Kahlua! I sipped Kahlua all weekend, alcohol works well on a sore throat!
My wilted cucumber and tomato plants revived and are begging to go outside. I might make that my...
I have an old berry strainer that I love. I found it in a rent house after the occupant went to a nursing home. Family cleared out the house but nobody wanted that old strainer. That was when I was 20, I’m 70 now, so I guess it’s REALLY OLD!! :lol...
Coffee is ready. Yesterday I bought 2 tomato plants and 2 cups with cucumber plants in them. All were very wilted and sad looking. I put them in the kitchen sink and watered them several times. They perked up overnight and look good now. Maybe I’ll get them planted today.
I have a head cold...
Never made grape jelly, but I’ve had failures in other fruits. Use those syrups for pancake syrup! Or if you have a dehydrator with solid sheets, make your own fruit leathers.
As far as the jelly, just try again. I use certo and sure jell, both are good.
My Kubota is a 23 HP, my son’s Kubota is 100 HP. He has attachments for it that are awesome. He had it “plumbed” for a grapple. That means running the hydraulic lines necessary for it to operate. Then he bought a shear for it. And he has a couple of big bush hogs that dwarf my little 4’ bush...
Tuesday! I was up at 4 AM, out the door and gone by 5 AM. 3 hours to @Ridgetop’s house. Got there at 8:00. Knock! Knock! Knock!
The dogs, Hazine and Ozel barked at me, so I went to the fence, talking sweet, they sniffed my hand, Oh, it’s you! They wagged tails and I petted them.
Had a cup of...
Monday! I went to my sister’s house in Willis, to celebrate my birthday that was last week, but it was storming.
My sister is moving back to her flooded house. FEMA has not bought her out yet and it’s been a turbulent year for her. She bought another house, totally updated it and it’s...
Up at 4:00, one cup of coffee. Going to Yantis for a presentation by the Texas Land Grazers Coalition. It’s a 3 hour drive one way. It is from 10 AM to 3 PM. I’ll go visit with Ridgetop from BYH first, then we’ll go to the presentation and pasture walk. I’ll probably get home somewhere between 6...
Had a great time at the Tex-Kats sheep field day. Demonstrations Friday evening followed by an ice cream social, Saturday was several speakers giving out tons of information.
Pictured is a blood draw demonstration. I’m pretty easy to spot.
Going to my sister’s today, tomorrow is a field day...
I wore a new dress to church yesterday. After church I went to Lufkin to Olive Garden. Every restaurant in Lufkin had lines out the door. 1 1/2 hour wait ay Olive Garden, so I sat at the bar. Nobody else figured out the bar was empty, had it all to myself!
