Love trout fishing. Somerset & Bedford county here lots of streams that hold trout all yr. Sad thing is I work in ligonier and have threatened to take my tackle with me just to stop and fish but my DBF would be so sad.....

Where do you work in Ligonier and how far is Reels Corner from Ligonier?
Stay Warm,
Karen

I forgot to say, I just started seeds e

I planted half of an egg carton of basil seeds. I figured it'd be nice to have a few basil plants in early spring to be able to harvest from. They need to grow *checks every hour for a sprout*. Just kidding. I'll water in a few days and check for sprouts in about a week.

didn't mean to start arguments here,,,just really need to know how doable this is before i turn him loose,,,,,,more of a hobby for him than a money maker.....not sure how much of a problem heating the water would be, he seems to be interested in tilapia, might be cause that's usually what I buy....I keep my ferment right inside the barn door and it does not freeze,,,only after putting it out for the birds does the problem start....so it might be doable to keep water temp inside the barn...

trout sound interesting only because the water temp could be lower,,,,but the only time I ate trout, I picked little bones out of it and it really was not that good,,,in defense of the trout, my sister in law cooked it and she ruins boiled water...

Woowee I'm tired. I was out doing chicken stuff for 2 hours today. I know that's nothing compared to what some of you guys do. We have 15 inches here. I measured today. I don't really know if that's an accurate though, I live on top of a really windy hill. Which makes things colder in winter.

Anyway. The wire divider came out of the coop today, since everyone can mingle peacefully with the newbies now. They even sleep on the same roost. I did a huge clean out and sprayed some organic cleaner I made for the coop that I found on Pinterest. It's pinned on my "Useful DIYs" board. The roosts, floors, shelf, etc. all got wiped down. The normal things got done too like new water and food.

In other news. Don't you just love it when your "friends" of 10 years hate you and then embarass you in public and be nothing but rude? Yeah me too! And it's not a little fight that will pass either. It's something I can never forgive. Especially when you don't have any other really close friends... So that's why I've been telling you guys all about my days for the last week or so.

Oh no. So sorry hon. Don't let it consume you. Give yourself time to cool off and forgive, then....move on. This world is chock full of fun, trustworthy people who know how to be kind and are deserving of your friendship. Invest yourself in people like that. Until then, hang with us, we all appreciate you...plus....we speak 'chicken'.

,Karen, I believe you listed just as many, if not more places to eat as places to fish! Which works for me, cause I don't fish...but I do eat.

Oletymer, love your Avatar, the wattles on that boy are incredible.

And thank you for the compliment Stake, I do enjoy our BCMs. Got our first pullet eggs this week from our BCMs hatched this September

Last year I diced and froze about 60 chive cubes. What a treat they have been all winter long.
We have three left. I am a believer and will be processing the whole bed this year. I will be
making frozen cubes tof other herbs to. How convenient and fresh tasty.
Best,
Karen in Ligonier.

Would anyone be in need of a rooster or two or ten for their flock? LOL I have way too many and they are in need of some new homes. They are going stir crazy with this snow and the fighting has begun. All are good boys, good to people hens and chicks but they are just not happy that there are so many boys here. I can post pics if anyone would be interested. I have naked necks, mixes and pet quality silkies.
