The cow jumped over the moon?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

As a nurse, the older folks used to tell me don't get old dear! I wonder how they thought i could prevent that?

There is only one way ....

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Easter Egger hens that lay green eggs already have a brown egg gene, so if you breed them to a rooster with a brown egg gene you should get some olive eggs and some brown eggs, unless of course if the Easter Eggers carry a double blue egg gene then all their offspring will lay olive eggs.

Thanks! I do have a hen or two that lay a pretty blue egg, the rest lay shades of green.

I always have a lot of catching up to do on Saturday nights, and I've missdd Granny, who went to bed early... but ...

I used the burnt teabag to make my tea this time around. It really does taste a bit burnt, but who wants to waste a teabag, right? I'll drink it and just be a bit more careful next time.
Yup, I'm drinking burnt tea right now.

Can you set a 5-minute timer, on your phone, oven or microwave? That's what I do. Or set thd tea right beside ehere you're sitting so you don't forget it. I place a saucer upside-down over mine so it doesn't cool too fast, then I have a place for my teabag. It tastes better if you take it off the heat to steep anyway.

I seen on another thread where you said you were fascinated by hands. Just wanted to say Me too

I want to do a photo collage of hands at work.

Its funny because thats the one thing I could never draw.

I've always heard being able to draw hands is the sign of being a good artist. They are supposed the be the ultimate challenge!
but faces are hard, too!

I'm trying to decide if I want to go out today. Not sure where. Just go. I'm washing right now.

Did you go anywhere?

Feeling achey and tired today. Hubby let the girlie goats out for me while i had a nap. Nearly fell asleep in the tub. Not good. I don't know how i get dehydrated so much with all the water i drink.
Tomorrow it's supposed to rain all day. Just watch, that's when i will have energy.

Any day with energy is a blessing! And any day you can rest is a different kind of blessing ...

My mother could draw hands. Quite the artist. She did a drawing of praying hands. Beautiful. And..no, I didn't go anywhere after all.

Oh, like Albrecht Drurer's Praying Hands? Do you know the story behind that painting? It's quite touching. Ah well, tomorrow's another day. We're headed to St L tomorrow, the ManChild (formerly The Kid) gets another home leave. I don't think we'll be home in time to watch the Super Bowl commercials. Uh, I mean the game, of course, the GAME!

Good night, Grannyland!

What animal, heny?

A large great pyrenees. For some reason we grow them big...

Or just feed them quality food

Swollen ankles, feet and legs (oedema)​

Sometimes my feet get swollen, so I make this drink. It really makes me pee and takes away the swollen feet.
I don't know if it will work the same for you, but you could try it.

1 quart water
1 Tablespoon raw honey
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice, it can be a lemon juiced or the lemon juice concentrate.
If this recipe doesn't seem strong enough in flavor you can always add more of each to your quart.

I hardly ever make just one quart. I usually make a gallon and drink all of it in a day, plus water as well.
