I am happy right now, I managed to complete some of the things on my list! This morning I: -Moved the rain barrel -Removed all the dead tomato plants from the garden -Put fresh shavings in the coop -Washed laundry -Removed all the rose bush and mock orange tree trimmings from the backyard...

I've only had one bird killed by a predator, and that predator was an owl. Definitely a threat.

Please don't think you're the only people that have ever done this! Keep in mind that people do the same thing all the time. My in-laws lived in a run-down trailer until they finished building their house. And they built it themselves too - sawed their own lumber and everything. A lot of people...

I'm sorry for your loss, it can be so hard trying to find a responsible person to watch your animals while you're away. My husband and I are going on vacation shortly and we have a new person watching the house and animals...it makes you a little nervous. But just a little note to support both...

I don't think you could do it right now...it's not only the house payment to think about, it's insurance, maintenance, higher utility bills, and property taxes. Renting can be a great way to keep your bills a little lower and save money for your first home.

My hound gets sick from cheaper dog foods, and I switched her to Diamond last year. No more problems! But I do agree with letting your dog eat what it likes to eat and what it does well on. My mom's last dog wouldn't eat anything but Kibbles and Bits.

Walnuts, because to me they taste slightly sweet and slightly bitter at the same time. Lovely.

I think denim makes a nice, manly quilt. I made a quilt out of old jeans and backed it with flannel, and I think it qualifies as manly.

I definitely don't start thinking about Christmas in July, but I do in September! Most of the gifts I give are homemade, and take time to make.

When I first got my feral kitten I just put her in the box after she ate and I moved her front paws around in the litter. She seemed to get the idea right away and never had an accident. This link may help. http://www.kittencare.com/litter_training.html

I have a 3 year old Mallard and a 3 year old Khaki and they still lay more eggs than I know what to do with. I think a duck's production starts slowing down at maybe 4 to 5 years old.

I love Custer State Park, it is so beautiful. I'm heading out West again in a few weeks, can't wait to see the Black Hills and snow covered mountains again!

Right now I'm pretty heavy into the fall/winter prep. Firewood, canning the last of the tomatoes, and putting parts of the garden to bed as I finish with them. I mowed the lawn last week, hopefully for the last time. The closets were cleaned out 2 weeks ago, and we got rid of more...

Ducks do usually need to be trained to go in at night, you've been doing a good job with it so far. It usually took mine about a week to get the picture. I would worry about her being in the pool all night - can she always get out of it by herself? I have a Mallard that sometimes gets stuck in...

I don't put anything wooden in the dishwasher, it all gets hand washed.

I would like to plant garlic in the next few weeks, but that's about it.

Here's a link listing the most common duck illnesses. Good luck, I hope you find out soon what's wrong. http://www.callducks.net/ducksail.htm

For windows I use vinegar and newspaper. For mirrors, a 50/50 vinegar and water solution and a cotton rag. For the bathtub I use a stiff bristled brush and baking soda. The tub surround is ceramic tile, so I clean that with vinegar to avoid leaving a residue on the tile. Floors get mopped with...

This one is from last winter.

I looked into getting Dexters once, until I saw the price... I can't tell you anything about your area, but where I live the prices for any breed of mini dairy cows are crazy. I could buy 2 regular dairy cows for that price. When I was asking around about minis, most people told me to get...
