*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* It’s here….. Halloween is a fun Holiday…and I’ve discovered I can get a lot done during this twenty-four hour period of time….. It probably because of the excessive levels of sugar spinning through my metabolism….. It’s an annual internal battle that I have with myself….. Do I eat the Trick or Treat candy?………….or Don’t I?….. During August and September…I always say that I am NOT going to over-do the refined sugar intake (again)……..

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* We’re thinking something might not be right with our incubator….. This last attempt at hatching eggs was not very successful….. A few brave souls made it through the hatching process…but not many….. My younger daughter and I were able to successfully save another struggling chick-let….. So far…everyone who tried to break out of their shells were able to…(but there were so many who didn’t make it to that stage)….. I’m sure it had…

Saint Valentine had the right idea…whoever he may have been….. *****(Click Here–For A Valentines Explanation)***** Valentine’s Day was my Father’s favorite holiday…he liked it because it didn’t have to be superlative…with the over-the-top consumer push of other holidays….. He liked the low-key-ness of the day…without the pressure to buy…and buy…and buy some more….. It was always a pleasant day for our family….. My sister and…

We had gotten a Boer meat goat buck…so that the does’ offspring would have more meat and less bony dairy conformation….. …..(and yes…because that was better for eating)….. But with the passage of time…and the storms…and various mishaps….. …..our purebreds got older…their offspring’s genetics got muddled…we were given goats who didn’t match our “program”…(like we’re really that…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** This clean-up is going to be a long process…everything’s a mess….. We are now at the chainsaw’ing stage…at least the ones that our skill-level can manage….. I hate loosing healthy trees….. The big Oak that came down on the corner roof of the barn…will probably be one of the last things to clean up….. …..because once that’s chainsaw’ed…then the broken pasture fence and smashed gates behind it will need to be addressed….. …..and…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** It was a seemingly normal Saturday….. In the morning we made a trip to our favorite nursery to buy potted herbs…(for those of you in colder climates…Florida has two growing seasons)….. Herbs haven’t been available in the heat of the summer…and we desperately need cilantro for carnitas…so why not grow our own(?)….. Plus I’d love to have my own rosemary bush…but rosemary needs well-drained soil………….and nothing is well-drained here….. Even though the sun’s…
