What is the best (or worst) White Elephant Gift you've seen/given/recieved?
My parents got a set of encyclopedia's from the '70's. I loved those things.
I recieved a bottle of gingergrass essential oil as a thank you for singing in a wedding.... and I know what it is used for, but I don't know HOW I'm suposed to use it. Topically? Internally? Inhaled?
If I were using it for DS#2's eczema would I put it right on the skin?
If using for acne...
Hey hey my compadres!
I was freezer cleaning and found 3 big freezer bags of sliced peaches that I need to use up!
How can I make easy peach butter? I "think" they are peeled but I cant remember if I peeled them or not....
There are guys that DH works with who ask for eggs. I never ever just send eggs with DH, the guys have want them. So, I delivered eggs the other day after having been requested. The guy pays me then says "hold on now..." opens the carton and starts lifting the eggs out one by one...
We'll be out of town for a wedding for ten days in June... jsut when egg laying gets into full swing. I'll be getting 40-50 eggs a day. I'm not sure what to offer someone to take care of the egg situation while we're gone. In the summer we dont feed or water, since the chooks free range 100%...
So, two hens snuck and hid a clutch of about 25 eggs from me till I just discovered them NOW. I candeled a few and it looks like they are pretty close (within days) to hatching. Its winter in MINNESOTA, what am I going to do!?! Do you think the hens can keep the babies warm if I put them in...

Thats all, just wanted to share my jubilationw ith you all. Some, like...
Our neighbors were chatting with Dh last night and told him that, since theres so little meat on our stupid Leghorn roosters, instead of going to all the trouble to pluck them, we should "field dress" them. Apparently, this means that, after decapitation, we are supposed to lay the carcass on...
Opener is November 6th, for rifle, its already open for bow. DH and BIL got my ground blind into place 2 weekends ago. Thought I would share some pics of the fall colors and the prep we've been doing.

This spring, the "Wheel-Mobile" came thru our neck of the woods. I can't remember how many thousands of ppl went to hopefully get their names drawn from a hat and play a mock-round. I went with my mom, she told me that she watned to go but turned out she wanted ME to go, and I got drawn. They...

I have a wellie hen who has spent the last week alone in the coop on the roost. She has one eye shut, and looks like shes molting. She really comes to life if I try to get close enough to get a good look. I did catch her once over the weekend and gave her a good going over. Her comb and face...
DH doesnt like my guineas. Chickens are too noisy for him, can you imagine how he handles guineas? So, I told him that I got the guineas for bug control and that I wanted them to roam the garden. They are 5 months old and FINALLY found the garden last night. So what does Dh do? Freaks out...
