Good afternoon, cloudy and drizzly out there. Made the kids a tarp roof so they can graze and not get their precious butts drizzled on.
Still needs improvement, but I can't be playing with a tarp around any chickens instant freakout ya'll know.
Tried yesterday after I put the littles in the coop because I knew it was supposed to rain and I swear the other ones made a special trip just to freak out over the tarp.
I planned on having the run done by now, not much grass in there but dirt and bugs out the yang.
I don't have it done because the post office's time machine is obviously broken and they have my plastic fence.:gig

I am with you on that.
This didn't happen overnight. It won't go away overnight.

I sure don't want him resenting efforts to eat better.

Now ....... The weird part.
Out of curiosity I did a glucose test on myself. (Seriously I have felt like carp for years)
My reading was also above 400. I thought "no way can it be that high".
I went and got a second meter and retested with it. Yup same number.
:hmm Looks like we are in this together.
Diabetes DOES run in my family so I really am not shocked, just a little scared and sad about it.

As much as it has been a shock I think we are both at the "well this is how it is" point.
I talked with my son a bit this morning about the dietary changes we have to make. He said he is onboard to improve his diet too.
So the whole house is getting a diet upgrade.

There are 2 eggs still in the bator that I think are quitters but since they weren't due till today I thought I'd give them a chance.

Then there are 2 more incubators going. So 36 ish more eggs. :oops:

One thing that can help is baking your own bread and not buying baked goods from the store.

I have the kitchenaid flour grinder for making flour and bake three loaves of sandwich bread with my Recipe. It is a combination of home made flour and organic all purpose flour from costco. The sweetener is either honey(local) ore molasses-- 1\3 cup for three loaves

I also bake my own sourdough bread.

Baked goods in the stores are universally carp! and have bad things in them for you-- not only HFCs

I have never heard of making your own flour. Please tell me more.

It will be easier to do it as a family. I am glad your son is on board. My 13 yo is so picky, he takes after me. I wouldn’t eat a salad until I was 27. Now at 43, I will eat many things. I am
growing up. Haha!
