Nevadans?

Ron, I love pickle beets and make them as well. I want to try Alton Brown's recipe someday, I love how he explains about food and the science that goes into cooking it. I want to make pickled eggs sometime and I heard you take the pickling juice from the pickled beets and put the cleaned boiled eggs in a jar and add the pickling juice into the jar. Let the eggs sit in the refrigerator for a week. I'm dying to try it.
Unfortunately when you get the recipe from FoodNetwork.com they don't give you all of his explanations - plus, some things you just have to see how they are done (like peeling the beets!). The pickled eggs sounds really cool - I'll have to try it! I'll let you know how it comes out.

Ron we use Verizon cause we have heard so many horror stories about the folks that offer the landline services up here. We could go with Hughes Net but they get the same raving marks. :/
I've heard folks around here either rave about Verizon or rant about it. But it seems to come down to whether they are using the 4G (rave) or 3G (rant) service. Which one are you using?
 
I believe speckled sussex lay light brown eggs. We used to have some! Very sweet girls!

That's what I thought, too. This egg was the oddest color, almost like a super light olive. Sheryl saw it and said it's definitely not from my lavender ameraucana. You know, it was kind of the color I'd expect a duck egg to be. But a little larger than a robin's egg.

I'd take a picture, but I just gave a dozen eggs to a friend who gave me some chicken food, and that one was in it. Oh well.

Hello Everyone!! Gotta catch up on 100+ posts( I was camping) But for now i have a funny story
So the other day i was gardening with my polish bantam named Yhang (avatar) and when i got up to leave she followed me all across the yard

! I guess shes a little Too attached to me.She also wants to be held,like, 24/7! I love her so much.
Polish are so sweet that way. Actually I used to have a whole flock that did that. I didn't have as many birds back then though and I had a lot more treats for them when they didn't have to share.

Unfortunately we are on the 4G. So I have no where else to go. Now in town it is great! Very fast and doesn't bump me off every time I turn around.
BWWAAAAHHHAAAHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Just spewed wine out my nose reading this!
I know, right?

Rain! I got rain last night! It smells nice but I'm not looking forward to walking on the wet earth. It really stacks up on the bottoms of your shoes!

I keep getting taller and taller... which would be a good thing... if it didn't make such a mess!

We need the rain though, so I'm not complaining.

On another note... a sad one. I'm not looking for sympathy but I need to talk about my broken heart just a little bit.

I had to cull one of my very favorite hens yesterday. She was coughing/sneezing and not eating and standing in the corner. She was so beautiful. When she was a chick, I would sit on a chair out in her pen and she would jump up on my lap so I could pet her. That's been a long time ago now but she was still the most beautiful hen in my yard. Every time I walked by she would catch my eye... I'd check and say, "yep, it's Kephtzibah, who else would it be?" But I checked my records and I have a couple daughters from her, several grand daughters this year and one son this year too so hopefully I haven't lost her altogether. I dug around til I found a picture of her last night; she is my new avatar. It might take me a while to get over her, I've been weepy off and on since the night before last. I'm really going to miss seeing her out there.

So sorry to hear about your hen.

We got rain too. Nice to get some free water for the garden.

Awwww, so sorry to hear that. I'd be heartbroken if I lost Original or Kung Pao. She was beautiful!

And the rain is great, isn't it? I have so much canning to do today, it's so nice that I don't have to walk over to the other garden and water it. (But apparently I have time to sit on the internet.
