I added a post and changed the theme. It's really super easy - and a blog can easily look like a normal web page.

Yes, a blog can. I use a blog for our cub scout pack: http://pack450.blogspot.com/

OK here is yer laugh fer the day.
I have recorded some of my roosters crowing and that is my ring tone for home calling. I thought that would be kind of neat and I could tell right away when DW was calling.

Just before dark I discovered I had lost my phone.

Not only did I lose my phone as it was getting dark but the phone was in a camo holster.

So I go get the cordless house phone and start calling. This was when I realized that the roosters were not such a cool ring tone. See when I called my phone it would only ring once and as soon as it did the dang roosters would start crowing along

Well no wonder the roosters were having a sing along it was only about 20' from their coops.

I have the glass top range and was bummed when I found out that with my model I couldn't can on it.... For mine it has a sensor that turns the heat down if it gets too hot

That's what mine does. I will never buy another glass top range again. Yes, they're easy to clean - but they are so slow to cook anything. My mom used to come over and complain how long it took me to make anything. Then, when I went over to her place and used her ancient range, I realized what she meant.

Hi, can I join? I just signed up for this site and I'm having a blast reading all the forums. I'm in Lewis County, on the WET side. I've had chickens forever, since I was a child, but now I'm exploring ducks. I look forward to getting to know a few of you.

Welcome! Jump on into the conversation!

Years from now we will see a stark difference in diseases, including Autism...and Cancers.....due to the fact of People growing their OWN FOOD.





Super Cool, eh ?

Autism is why I started researching permaculture and trying to learn how to grow our own food 4 years ago. I'm still trying to get it figured out. I've torn our ornamental yard up big time (thus, beginning the process of getting strange looks from neighbors), stopped spraying, built garden beds, and am now attempting to grow food in my yard - which evokes more looks, comments and questions. Bad news... neighbor's still spray - and that stuff drifts over to my yard. We live on a gravel pit, it has taken me years just to get any of our yard able to grow food.

Very cool solar panels! Did you do it yourself, or did you hire someone? Dare I ask... was it over the top expensive?

Glass topped covered ranges are for USERS............these are people who want what they want when they want it::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: USERS
They generate no FOOD for their increasing families..........and the US POPULTION is growing by MIllions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is feeding YOU ??????????????????????
!!!!!

Or they're for suckers. Stove dies. Run out to the store to get a new one. Can't be too much money. Sales guy says I'll sell this floor model to you for hundreds off and you can take it with you right now. No need to wait for a delivery. We buy - and learn the hard way - do your research - even if you need it right now.

You would defintely understand the looks I got from the guy who came to mow our back lawn once or twice when I told him never, ever to spray our yard with anything. Yes, we want the ugliness and weeds gone; no, he can't spray them because of the chickens and chemicals and how we want to live naturally. He looked at me like I had two heads. Oh well, some people never change.

The spraying company called me today. I haven't heard from them in years. I told her no thank you, we don't want the chemicals in our yard. She sounded shocked. Thankfully she was nice enough to leave me alone about it. The last time they called I had to ask them to put me on their do not call list because they bugged me so often. I'm guessing that list must expire or something. I was surprised they called.

What kind of chickens to you have?

Wrong.....face the music that makes the world go round.
Every human in the world needs to know exactly how their FOOD is processed, and learn to PROVIDE for your family instead of liviing on processed garbage.

Not just meat, but veggies as welll.......and get SOLAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!










Super Cool, eh ?

P.S. There is a Koi pond to the LEFT of this frame, and that is why there is netting over the pond...............Kingfishers and wadding birds eat the koi.........so all our ponds were covered.

Exactly. There is a reason the Amish don't have autism...!

I'd love to hear more about your solar set up as well

Well OK then !!!

I actually like mine except the fact that I cant use my canning equipment on it. That's an easy fix, I still get to can all the vegetables that I grow, all my own apples into applesauce, Strawberries , Raspberries and Blueberries from my own garden into jams and freezers. I guess I'm kinda spoiled because I have never had to eat store bought canned fruits, jams or Vega tables and my child never had to eat baby food from the store I made it all myself. Since I had the privilege of learning the craft of canning as the fourth generation woman to live on our farm..Yep looking back I think I'm pretty lucky to of been taught all that, it does seem like kinda a lost art or way of life

A good way of life. Like you said no gardens .

You are super lucky, I would love to have learned those skills growing up! I grew up around some animals but somehow managed to avoid learning anything. Now I regret it...
