Day 34

Today is one of those days when you are not sure if you want to be a homesteader.  We had a 6 month old rooster named Reggie.  A week ago he started limping.  Couldn't find any thing wrong with him.  As of two days ago he couldn't even walk.  I had to put him down today.  Hopefully tomorrow Will be better.

Day 33

Internet back up. Broken wire down the road

Planted some pumpkins for ground cover around 90 days ago.

This is one of the vines. It seems to be growing about a foot per day

Day 32

Internet down.  See you tomorrow.

Day 31

Yard mowed - check
Heat stroke. - check
Now it's time to relax and eat some homemade ice cream.  Donna makes the best ice cream.

Recipe

50 quail eggs or 10 chicken eggs. (we use quail because I think it taste better and we have a lot of them)

2 cups sugar
1 can of condensed milk
1 gallon of whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Blend eggs, add sugar blend again, add condensed milk blend again, add milk (almost the whole gallon) then add vanilla.

 

In the mixer add layer of ice then layer of salt with a cup of water.  Do this till it is full.

Day 30

Lazy day for me.  Yes, I should be mowing yard, building water catchment for the quail, weeding garden, building raised beds, finishing my shed roof, and much more.

 

kicken it in the ENO lounger.



Day 29

All I have to say is it's Friday.  The sun is still up and I am going to bed.  I must be getting old.

Day 28

Had a canopy installed on one of the work properties today.  Looks like it is going to be a good addition.

 

It has a sensor on it to automatically retract if the wind comes up.
