This heat dome is expected to stick around at least until August. Ugh... Two more weeks (at least) of triple digits every single day. 🥵
I had to move my lemon tree... The heat and sun was simply too intense. Leaves were sunburned and it lost all its baby fruit (marble sized). I moved it under...
I'd love to share, but I don't have one. It's all in his head... He never measures anything. It's a dash here. Pouring oh so much there.... 😂 But it always turns out amazing. The man has an incredible gift when it comes to cooking but he refuses consider making his genius into something commercial.
It's sooooo hot today. It reached triple digits (heat index) before 9:30 am. 🥵 I spent a good chunk of the morning making extra preparations for the animals. The ducks always muck up everyone's water so I placed extra water buckets and bowls in hidden places so hopefully the chickens and goats...
I can relate to some degree... I freeze dried EVERYTHING last year. Tons of stuff across every food group. But I've found that I rarely go back and use it. I've put the fruit in smoothies. I also use the freeze dried corn in my very awesome salmon salad... But outside of those, I just haven't...
I hate this time of year. Miserable... This isn't even the heat index either. 🥵🥵🥵 The Weather Channel app is even hotter with most days breaking triple digits.
Chicken patient update -
Red finally managed to release a very large poop... I'm happy for that progress. I've been putting Flock 911 in her water which should help with that...
The tumor under her beak is getting much bigger. I am covering it with Ivermectin paste twice a day and also...
Many states are now beginning to offer ivermectin tablets over the counter... I'm in Arkansas. They approved for OTC in March but it didn't take effect for 90 days. I still haven't seen any available yet in stores but it should be coming soon. Here's the states below -...
Thanks... My poor girl has been unable to poop for 2 days now. I checked her vent and there's no blockage that I can see. The vet did warn me that she likely has tumors in her intestinal tract too...
I'm still giving her the ivermectin but I realize her time is limited to hours now since she...
That's a different path, but generally gets to the same result as the recipe I used last night. Only, I roasted tomatoes, red peppers, onions, and garlic in the oven with olive oil and dried herbs (basil, Italian seasoning, and thyme) for 30 minutes... Then blended it smooth and added to chicken...
I've decided to try an experiment... My favorite chicken - a 7 yr old Buff Orpington named Red - has developed cancer around her beak. According to the Poultry vet at University of Arkansas, there is no real cure. Can't operate because where it is... So basically the best I can do is make her...
Decided to make the homemade tomato soup from the recipe below.

Needless to say, I wasn't super impressed. We generally cook with a lot of spices though so I had to dress it up. Added way more salt, pepper and garlic powder (on top of the...
It's not really the clover itself... The problem happens if the clover is infected with a fungus called Rhizoctonia leguminicola. Not all clover everywhere is infected... Thus it can be hit or miss. But living in the hot, humid, wet South is very conducive to fungal propagation. I've seen horses...
