the new pump is in place and running great. we had time afterwards to make our second rhubarb pie this spring. it is great, too. today I am going to spend some relaxing time in the wood shop making new slats for my sister's park bench.

Cappy, fifty pounds of potatoes is a lot to take care of. lots of potato bugs to pick. I am so busy, and so slow, I don't even have my chisel plow dragged out yet. I don't know if I will get the corn planted. my lasted unplanned project is to replace the sewage lift pump in the septic...

this is a spectacular year for blossoms all over the area. this is our volunteer 45 to 50 year apple tree. it has two trunks. each produces a different king of apple. 3/5 of the blossoms are from the left trunk. you might be able to see the line where the blossoms meet. we have all kinds of...

I couldn't get into byc for a few days. my server locked me out and wanted me to log in. of course I am computer challenged so I can't do that. instead I figured out a back door way to get in here. still can't do FB though. we are having nice days with rain just before night. today I got...

Aart, our weatherman said the tornados were going to be right in your neighborhood. I thought, oh oh, poor Aart. Glad they can't be right even when it's happening..

I finally got to do a little in my shop. this is the cutting/pastry board that I made to fit snuggly into the kitchen sink.

no baby goats yet ? now that I have the two electrical quad receptacle boxes all wired in and working, I can move on to better things. today I lit a fire in the shop stove and re arranged all of the machinery. table saw, two jointers and even the heavy planer. swept the floor and tossed out...

Cappy, Is your goat kidding you ?

Just checking in. still waiting for spring to spring 32F this morning, had snow yesterday. I setting up two quad receptacle boxes for in the shop. awfully weary of walking on extension cords. bought a circular saw sharpener. kind of tricky to adjust, but I managed to sharpen a few blades...

that sure is a satisfying view , of your gardens.

I agree. I would like to see a picture and some dimensions of this coop.

I agree with Aart. a blueprint is like a recipe. you can double the ingredients if you want a larger one. If you are going to walk inside for cleaning, make plenty of head room.. make the door wide enoug for a wheel barrow.. or make an opening/window removable to toss the litter out of..

My tractor is still at the fixit guy's house. I feel like one of my legs has been cut off. I use that tractor and loader very often. and sometimes I just go for a ride for no teason. I have a cement mixer that I use for mixing compost and dirt for my raised beds. I take the soil from the...

Cappy, that sounds like a lot of hard work.. doesn't your tractor have a front loader ? today I started a batch of sauerkraut. 8 heads yielded about 22 pounds.. after St Patrick's day cabbage goes on sale.. $ .75/pound for the first time, I am making it in a 5 gallon food grade...

the 11" of snow melted in one day with the help of the rain.. mother nature didn't like to see all of that bare ground so she covered it with a white blanket last night. at 25F, it is not melting today..

after an almost snowless winter, we finally got our share. about eleven inches. followed by a light steady rain. but the temps are above 40F so it is melting already.. If the sun would come out it would really go fast..

the mice often stored dog food bits inside my Sorrel boots.. I am just grateful they didn't chew up the felts to make a nest. I am not too sure I wouldn't scream in a situation like that..

my DD had a car parked here for about a year. when they came for it, there was a bushel of black walnuts stashed in front of the radiator. I have a suspended ceiling in my chicken coop. I pulled a 2' x 2' tile out and about a half bushel of nuts fell out. there are about 20 tiles in that...

I planted a grove of 100 black walnut trees over 30 years ago. have about 80 that survived. None are big enough to cut for lumber yet. I probably won't see the day that they are.. my advice to anyone who wants to do this is, don't. I can't tell you how many of my fruit trees and some other...

yes
