Morning folks, got a phone call so had to get up.
I have to say I bought a Cuisinat coffee maker and it makes coffee very fast. Expensive definitely $100, and I have had to return one and this one I have now is a replacement but I love it. It's the kind where you put your cup underneath and press pour. No carafe to drop and break.
Que: Weather here is cool too, have to get the run done before the snow flies. Bought three more panels to go over the top, the rest will have to stay tarp with plywood underneath. The second run the same as i can't afford to cover it with a more permanent material. Tarps go on sale somewhere I can't remember but not til next week. Did up somemore tomatoes but no room in the freezer. I'm trying to find a cheap water pot for jars I bought last year. Nothing kills a garden faster than having jars to can stuff, which is what happened last year. DW likes tomatos to make chili.
Sissy: I don't think we have any molasses. Had an eldery neighbor lady who used to make cookies for Christmas. They're a fond memory. DW does all the cooking and she is good at cookies and desserts. Does wedding cakes and all sorts of stuff like that. Have to diet all year to prepare too gorge yourself at Christmastime. She rarely gets left off the list of invites for the cookie exchange.
Sorry to hear about your chicken losses but I still say have your DH or DS's p@#s on wooden things around the yard. Nothing like the smell of a human to keep critters away. It must work cuz we haven't smelled a skunk all year and we usually do at least two or three times. None this year though. I do my "watering" in the evening. I figure I'm less likely to scare the neighbors. Not that I care if they move away with those nasty cats and dog. Now that I think of it I haven't seen the rabbits in the yard for a while. I do hope they're ok. She's got one nextdoor that's a hunter. I've got a trap and I may catch her stupid cat and take it to the pound.
Chicks: I always feel bad breaking a broody and if it doesn't work quickly I just give them two or three eggs of my choosing.
Oesdog: Saw Tony Blairs book on sale here.
I haven't got anything to take a pic except a couple of afgans and some unfinished mittens. I give everything away. I do mittens on four needles and I like to do them except I hate the thumbs. My exSIL taught me that too. She's dead now though. Idle hands are the devils work shop as they say.
I too have a wounded chick, though no vet can fix it. Here's a pic. Not sure how it happened and she doesn't use the wing much. I've been smearing everything with neosporin to keep it moist. I suppose I should have put her down but she's to strong and I expect she'll probably be a better egg layer than some who aren't wounded. She must know what my pastor preached about one time. "Nevery Give Up". Don't remember all the scriptures he used but just remember that and it keeps me going to church and on the right path.
Take care and Love ya all, praying Gods' finest for each and every chicken friend.
