Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Are you feeling okay? Better?

Me ? Not by much. Its a bad day

Those seem to be more frequent now. Do you get back pain or?

My mom seems to have the most pain in her hip...

 

[cherrynberry]

Bad days really suck, sorry you're hurting. I wish I could help in some way!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Yes its my back and hips. I have a lot of pain. I had foot surgery years ago and a day dont go by that it all dont all hurt. The dr said it was a failed surgery and I would be in a wheel chair soon. So far I got him fooled.

You're so strong Granny. I honestly can't fathom everything that you do for your family, and for your BYC family. And that's on top of all you have to deal with yourself too. I hope it gets easier for you. I really do. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

you are so sweet. Thank you

You'd do and have done the same for everyone else. It's time you prioritize yourself a little

My Nancy is driving us to ceramics in Danville this afternoon! So i need to get things ready to go.
I decided if i just do a load of laundry every day, i will eventually catch up. Maybe before hubby comes home after his 2 week vacation!

Just when you catch up, you know he will come home and dump all his dirty laundry in the hamper!

Great pictures Wishing. He looks like a calm pup. Is he?

Yeah, when he's sleeping!
He can get rambunctious and loves to run. He tastes or picks up everything he comes across, and especially likes pulling weeds. The water dish always has bits of dirt and stuff in it.

He likes collecting feathers,

and he's learning things from Scooter.

I was tasked to toss the afterbirth when it came out. Usually the sows just focus on feeding their piglets first. I've never seen one eat it before, but I'm sure they can.

Most mammals have been known to eat the afterbirth at times. (Even people!) It's a ready source of energy and if mama can't move her babies away, predators won't be attracted if it's eaten.

Nice set up. He is so cute!

Thanks. I'm in love. He does have a impish side. And he can climb like a monkey!

I'm considering building an Ark here in MO. We blew away our record for a single day by over 2" on Tuesday and it keeps raining.

We'd be more than happy to take some of your excess rain. Reservoirs here in CA are dangerously low.
Wish Mother Nature could spread it out a bit.

Here's my best guess to what we have. I probably could have read labels but I was too lazy, and to be honest, I feel kinda guilty looking through all her meat. This isn't everything, but it's most of it. So I mean...not a whole freezer full, but still a decent amount. Roughly 140lbs of pork...View attachment 3203595
One chicken was separated into wings, breasts, thighs, and drumsticks. The carcass was kept for soup. The other two cockerels are currently in the freezer ↓View attachment 3203618View attachment 3203619

That's impressive, Cherry!
And you processed the cockerels yourself.

He seems like a pretty naughty pup! What a cutie. Is he getting along pretty well with Scooter? It looks like they are buddies already!

Yeah, noticed Twist hasn't been on lately too. You and Twist go back a long time huh? Is he the one you've known for the longest?
