I've been making the manicotti for years. But our family is really growing. Stuffing all those manicotti noodles begins to take a toll as I get older. Last year, son and I stuffed over 60 noodles!
I want to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS! Don't know if I'll be back before then. Son from...
Weather is crazy!! I'm so happy! I'm off the hook for cooking Christmas dinner.. one son is making the manicotti. Other son making the salad. Son in law making meat balls ( son making manicotti is vegetarian) garlic bread and bringing a cheesecake. Granddaughter hasn't said what she's...
I'm so glad I got the run covered before the first snow. Last year, hubby bought clear tarps so I can kinda see what the chicks are doing. They didn't last the winter. This year, he found waterproof canvas tarps. Can't see thru them, but so well made. And don't flap in the wind.
I had a...
Sorry about your pet, Dream. It's so hard to lose them. I had three dogs pass in a short time last year. Heartbreaking. But, every one has been my "everything". They are all so special in their own way. I missed having that connection so much, that we adopted another dog within weeks...
My roses are still blooming. Hard to put flower garden to bed!
Coyote spotted too close to my house. Way too close. Son in law sat in my yard for a few minutes with a 22 waiting to see if it would make an appearance. Think he went into the wooded area next door.
Lots of molting going on...
My Blue Plymouth rock (Sapphire Gem) is a good rooster. No aggressive behavior towards humans. Did attack my daughter's dog once, which was a stranger to him. My dog got into a tussle once. But that was it. He's learning manners. Crows a lot! Think I can keep him.
Taking my daily walk...
One of my young pullets that I got on May 2nd has laid her first egg on Thursday! And another yesterday. She came up on the upper deck and was scootching around in a corner. Looking around. I went and got a nest box (crate) and put it in the corner. Eevee hopped right in and laid an egg...
Refreshing, that's for sure!! Nice not to sweat, lol. My walk with my dog was very pleasant.
i had a hen that went blind. She got along pretty good, but yes put her in the coop at night.
TSC mislabeled their chicks... I forgot what the bin was labeled, but it wasn't Sapphire Gem. Bought 3 chicks of I thought a breed of Delaware. Did research and found Blue Hen Delaware. But still really didn't match. The hens legs turned black. Funny tho, the rooster's legs stayed yellow...
