Underneath it all, that's probably true. Or it could be that , as we age, we become more like children in our thinking....we lose inhibitions and stop caring so much about what our peers think, we feel comfortable in our own wrinkly skin and we don't mind making a fool of ourselves in play...

That's sweet!

Homesteading things...we are experiencing an early spring. Egg counts are high, temps are balmy, chores scream for attention. I really needed to prune watersprouts from the apple trees in January but kept waiting for sufficiently cold temps to do so and they never arrived. So, looks like...

My coop is about 100 yds upslope from the house...if you free range at all, you'll want them to be far rather than near. Poop happens. A lot. Best if it's all not around the house where you walk the most. Also, if you don't feed fermented feed, those poops are going to attract flies and...

I think they are some of the most useful and frugal livestock to get, maintain, transport and reproduce. Rabbits are great for that too, but the chickens can do so much for the land that rabbits cannot. Chicken flocks have helped women down through generations have livestock they can handle...

One lady calls them a "gateway livestock"......

Yep...just cherry tomatoes. Great for salads!!

Excellent tomatoes and produce clear up until first hard frost. My brother's Sweet One hundred grew 15 ft vines this past season and mine were past 10 ft...in both gardens these cherry tomatoes outproduced all the other types of tomatoes. The Sweet One Hundred or Sweet One Million are much the...

Now, THAT'S someone who's got their thinking cap on!!!! What a neat repurpose of a school bus!

Never had seen or even heard of such a thing!!! Thanks for showing it here...will look into those and learn more. What a neato gadget!

Got out the old sewing machine today and set it up for a sewing project. Now, I'm no Suzy Homemaker when it comes to sewing....barely slid by in Home Ec class, but I still manage to sew a straight seam every now and again with a machine. This project is just putting some velcro tabs and/or...

You can and that's called mutton and as with anything older, they are tougher and have a deeper/stronger flavor. Lambs are considered lambs up to 1 yr old, so they are adult size in most cases when they are butchered.

If y'all ever get a chance to do so, compare woolly breed lamb to hair sheep lamb as to the flavor....like night and day. Hair sheep is like super tender, sweet venison, whereas the woolly lamb has a strong flavor and is greasy as all get out...and that fat also carries that strong flavor...

Mine don't seem to migrate....they are here all winter long. Seems to be the same mated pair that comes, as when they flee before the murder of crows, they go right back to same direction each time...I'm assuming that is the direction of their nesting area.

Something funny...just after I typed that post I heard the rooster alarming like crazy and saw chickens running for cover, while the dogs were running towards the area of the alarm call. I got curious about all the fuss and stepped out the door to see a big ol' red tail hawk beating feet out of...

I've had them all around me, feeding on the dead chickens found in the chicken litter that the farmers spread all over their hay fields but I've not had any take any dabs at the flock...of course, the dogs were out there, so that might have been a factor. Also had a nested pair of osprey next...

One thing to understand about electric is that little things add up. A lot of people think that all the little things couldn't possibly matter, so they concentrate on the big things only, like energy efficient appliances, adding more insulation, etc. I'm someone who regularly saw electric...

Those things seem to last forever. Don't know what it is about them but they seem to have incredible longevity without the need for maintenance....maybe it's the quality of metal they use in them but they just never seem to rust or deteriorate in any way.

I agree with all of that! Some mighty cute garden ideas out there out of repurposed things. Pinterest has a lot: https://www.pinterest.com/explore/trellis-ideas/
