Thanks, Sour and good morning! Coffee thought of the day:

Morning everyone. Rise and....well try to look alive. Coffee thought of the day: @CapricornFarm. Your ceramics are amazing. used to work with ceramics (mold poured) and some porcelains so I know the work that goes into it. Never delved into free form but would love to. A kiln isn't in the...

@CapricornFarm, not nearly as bad as it could have been if we weren't right there when it happened. Threw down a bath towel to sop up the water, turned off everything that needed turned off, now waiting for the new unit to arrive.

Cold here. They were calling for 2-4 inches of snow then downgraded to 1-2. Fine with me. We just got rid of the last of the 6+ inches we got last week. Our on demand hot water heater blew up last night. Not a big explosion. Thank goodness. It didn't shut off completely when I turned off the...

What I think is spooky is being outside during high winds and hearing a tree snap and crash down. What was that old saying about if a tree falls and nobody hears it does that mean it doesn't make any sound or something like that?

We have over 20 acres of timber. What we hate are the widow makers.

No, I'm talking about personal experience. We bought our farm from an Amish couple. After walking our property for almost 5 years we estimate that we have found close to 10,000 dollars worth of animal remains. True, there are good and bad in all people and trust me I am NOT prejudice against...

I respect their dedication to their communities and their faith...but that is where I draw the line. I just got back from taking care of my birds. I have a stupid hen who is molting in the coldest month of the year! Talk about stupid. I noticed she was looking ratty and was afraid she had...

Missouri has legislature to clamp down on the puppy mills. We talked to a friend who has a daughter who works for the task force that keeps an eye on the dog breeders. Unfortunately we were told that they are only clamping down on the big time indiscriminate breeders and puppy farms. Meantime...

I agree! I want mini-cows. Neighbors have Dexters. They are about half the size of a standard cow. I think I read that they have mini dairy cows also. I got an email from a friend of ours this morning. His goat had triplets. So freakin adorable! DH said if I didn't have chickens I could have...

Now @ValerieJ, I'm not going to say they are stupid. I love dairy cows. Such sweet gentle creatures. But I will say that steers and meat producers can be dangerous. We know a vet who almost lost his eye from a distressed cow rearing up and hitting him in the face with a hoof. Shattered his...

Not that we can prove as far as the cats are concerned but when we rescued the 5 pups they were playing tug of war with the remains of a rabbit and they had been given a dead goat kid to eat. We suspect that the rabbit may have been alive at some point and really would not put it past them to...

@CapricornFarm. You've had a hard winter/2018. Feel better my friend!:hugs

I wish our young cattle dogs would love our cats. Ain't gonna happen. But then I blame the Amish people for the 'eat the kitty' behavior that was set in them by feeding them small game and kid goats when they were just 3 months old or younger. No joke. Those who have been on the Old Folks Home...

I have 4 small tied nets that are about 5 years old and stand up anything that the weather throws at them. My deer netting is pretty durable also. What self destructed is some two year old clear netting that I bought directly from China. It was sun rotted last year and I knew it was on it's last...

Usually Cash sleeps between our heads. I'm just surprised he didn't wake me up this morning as I'm a pretty light sleeper. Because he is diabetic he eats a special, high protein 0 carb food along with his insulin injections. Problem is, the other cats love the food so we have to keep it picked...

I think it was 29 when I got up. Probably warmer than usual. @DobieLover we have a black 20 year old half Siamese cat named Johnny Cash who is diabetic. He woke DH up this morning by putting his nose about 2 inches from DH's and meowing at the top of his lungs. DH said he woke up to this cat...

Good morning everyone. Industrial sized coffee pots? OOOOOOOOOO can I have some please? Sun is shining here. Birds think it's spring..49 degrees today but then here comes winter back again with freezing drizzle and snow the next three days. As for roosters, the Higher Power must know I like...

That looks delicious! What is in it? I see broccoli and maybe chicken and sunflower seeds? My young roosters are amusing themselves by breaking off one another's tail feathers. Silly little goofs look so bizarre with bob tails. I hatched 4 SDW cockerels this past summer They are cute as cute...

Will do, Cap. Not quite sure what the plan is yet. The little prefab houses one broody and her chicks very well or a half dozen chicks once they outgrow their indoor brooder. I'm thinking about raising it off the ground though and putting it up with a floor under it somehow, then expanding it by...
