You guys ever have one of those moments? The one where you think holy crap, if any one told me three years ago I'd have chickens, have a garden and be canning and pickling my own food (and having a conversation with said chickens) I'd slap the snot out of them? Having one of those moments. And pretty dang proud if myself for learning all this chicken, gardening, canning stuff. And I'd never go back.

Maybe we should have all heeded this warning

Yep...that would've been me 5 years ago.....I honestly don't go to the grocery store more than once per month or less now...and, lovin' it, too

(And never would've thought I'd spend 20 minutes chopping up stuff to give chickens as a Saturday afternoon treat...which they just scarfed in 5 mins!!!!!)

I think my girls eat better than I do sometimes

That video!!! I can't stop laughing! We had 5 bantams 20 years ago, and two horses. Today; down to 52 chickens, three steers (in training as oxen) and only six horses... Is this a problem? Be very careful; it could happen to you!!! Mary

I don't know how to stop the double posts, sorry. Anyone near Perry? I've got three Dolgo crabapple trees totally overloaded with ripe fruit right now. I've made all the crabapple jelly I can use, and also would love tips on helping it to set better. Lotsa sauce rather than really firm jelly. Help! Come over for crabapples ASAP! Mary
