    Any Home Bakers Here?

    After I posted that request I went out to do errands. And at The Fresh Market, on the top shelf, high above my head, was a small container of carraway seeds! :celebrate

    It won't get really cold, yet. We will probably get our first frost Monday night, but daytime temps will stay in the 50s, most likely. They can huddle on the roost.

    My chickens have seen our feral cats their entire lives, have never been attacked by them. But my roosters still make concerned noises when a cat runs past the coops.

    I want to add caraway seeds to my rye bread. None of the local stores carry it. Any recommendations for an online source? There's so much junk available, I'd prefer buying from a place that people have used and would recommend.

    Zack's Place Rahab and Hannah behind Zaccheus, whose molt appears to be almost finished. Near left is loquacious Joanna, suddenly going into molt, just in time for freezing weather. Upper left is Priscilla. The juvies are mingling more, didn't get a picture of it, yet. Juvies by the feeder...

    Ha! We have a HUGE sycamore in the front yard, by the road. It's my main provider of leaves for compost, and branches for the burn pile. :gig

    In The Thorn Birds there's a quote about caring, empathy. It was about how city dwellers worry about how thousands of sheep are cared for, but don't exhibit the same compassion for the thousands of people living around them, but often hold them in contempt. ETA: found the passages

    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    I have to watch where I step, as my chickens dig deep holes in their run. :eek:

    Or any cat, or dog. When I was 5 our cat was euthanized for scratching a toddler. Our cat was apparently stalking another cat, a toddler crawled under a picnic table and yanked our cat's tail, who, understandably, turned and struck, scratching the child in the face. Where were the parents...

    I mow the leaves that fall. I have a bag on my push mower, and when it's full I empty it in the coops, and on my garden beds as mulch.

    Zaccheus was raised with adult hens, who made sure he knew his place. Early attempts at mating were met with outrage, indignation. Poor Zack. But then, he grew into a handsome rooster and suddenly his advances weren't spurned. :gig
