    Helpful hints for building coops

    I went with a 2x4, edge up. I've seen my chickens hunker down and keep their feet warm with their feathers, no problem. I'd read about chickens getting a breast blister from their keel bone rubbing on wider roosts, so that's what made me decide to put it narrow side up.

    The Old Folks Home

    We went to a tractor show today. The "new" tractors were about my age. There were 100+ year old machines there. A thresher, a baler, a steam driven sawmill. Really cool to see. Also really loud. Wish I'd taken ear plugs.

    Your 2025 Garden

    I think I have a cucumber waiting for me. Tomatoes are just starting. I have 3 on the counter, and I think they'll be ready tomorrow. I've been getting a cucamelon or 3 a day now. Soon it'll be dozens. :) I pulled up the snap peas, cleaned up the bed, and planted buckwheat there as a cover...

    Songs that make your skin crawl.

    Whatever they had on at Jimmy John's when we were there. Janis Joplin, anything. I have never heard any rap or heavy metal that doesn't make me want to turn it off, immediately. Techno.

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today

    We went to a steam/gas tractor show. We saw a steam powered sawmill go through oak logs like butter. The tractor pull was interesting. We watched a thresher and a straw baler. Hubby got a 20 foot piece of chain with hooks on each end for $10 at the flea market. That'll pull logs up the...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I have 4 foot 2x3 welded wire fence encircling my cherry tree. The fence is about 3 feet from the farthest out branches. The deer know they can't jump in, and neither can they reach over to browse the branches. The birds, however... got every last cherry before it ripened. :duc:mad:

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today

    I weeded two raised beds that are now empty. I planted buckwheat as a cover crop in those beds. I did a load of laundry. I ordered a heated uncapping knife for our next honey harvest. :yesss:

    Sally's GF3 thread

    The doc's office called with test results. The total and LDL numbers haven't gone down, but I'm ok with that. I'll get a paper print out in the mail (Gasp! how old fashioned!) and see how the numbers compare to last year. Another plug for this book: Your Blood Never Lies: How to Read A Blood...

    Hubby is going to a tractor show today. He's going tomorrow too, with his former (and sometimes still) boss, Dan. Dan collects old tractors and restores them. July 4th, 2024, he got them out of his barn and had them in his yard. Hubby took pictures of them. This isn't all of them. He said it...
