Granny's gone and done it again

This is why we have a 2 year supply of food. Some is getting old from not using it. I've been going through things. Who knew salt doesn't have a forever shelf life. My lima beans..too old. I know there's a box of tuna that needs to go. So, I'm having the kids here buy one something that has an at least 2 year shelf life when they go shopping. Something we use. I just bought a huge bag of rice and flour. I also just bought a bread maker. I used to make it by hand, but my wrists and shoulders don't work like they used to. Now I need to go through my 72 hr kit. It's been a while! Need to make sure clothing fits. 😄 Plus I know my meds need to be updated.
We have a 6 months + supply of canned goods, dried beans, rice, flour, sugar, and more. Things that bugs would like are vacuumed sealed in half gallon jars. Some flour is in the deep freeze. We rotate stock so not to have to throw away anything. We've been using out of the deep freeze without buying frozen food now to make rood for vacuum sealed chicken. With all of our chickens we don't need to try and keep eggs ahead. We are hatching new pullets about every 3 months now. Multiple coops to prevent a predator disaster in one night. Hatch eggs always in stock ready to hatch on a moments notice. Weak link is feed... Need to grow some as soon as we can get ground prepared.

When I could ..do..chickens, I remember saying..if anything happens at least we have chickens! I used to hatch very often to make sure I would have some hens that were actually laying. Only 6 birds allowed where I'm at.
 
Snow..our first snow today. Got a photo while it was here, and then it cleared right up showing our snow peaked mountains. Our first freeze is happening tonight. I put some outdoor faucet covers on.

I knew the freeze was coming. I picked quite a few more pears. They're so nice and big. Glad I got a couple of folks to come and pick. Most are off now. The few left will make for good food for some birds in winter and spring. View attachment 3669081
Mmm.. my favorite fruit
 
Never heard of such. Is that like arthritis in humans?
No, arthritis is wearing down of joints or bones. Laminitis is when the hooves get an infection I guess. Sometimes the hooves can come apart. More common in horses, I believe.
