My Dad had some acreage once that had a spring that fed into a woods and made a swampy area and fed a small area in the smack dab middle of a tilled field that always had water and sometimes a full fledge pond. It occurred naturally and had reeds and all the wildlife to go with it. He wanted to...

I wonder abt a heavy canvas cargo net for the back. It would weigh less and maybe still gibe some structural support while holding the stack in place.

My boys are careless and often times too busy to set down their tablets. I get on them and make them come back and clean up mess. Then the next thing I know is all of a sudden, I'm at fault too. The difference between a boy and a man is innocense according to Bon Jovi. A man learns to respect...

I hope the school year is going well for you so far.

I have not tried to domesticate something wild with one exception, but that is another story. I heard abt placing grain/feed in a spot where the herd or animal grazes. Then one by one, side by side, panel by panel enclosing it to make a paddock over time until they or it isn't afraid to enter...

My only thought @MatthewsHomestead, is that you don't want Belle picking up any of Rufus' behavior.

Surgeon says he likes the looks of the incision and explained the hardness underneath would most likely go away. I have some midline deviation of the abdominal muscles, but he credits it to wearing down over time and shouldn't be much of an issue. He says weight loss and exercise will strengthen...

I don't know how to tell you to achieve it @Wehner Homestead, but accomplishing some much deserved sleep is essential. Too many health complications brought on by sleep deprivation.

My month of recovery is over. I get to go see the surgeon on Monday to find out if restrictions are lifted. I am guessing he is going to say don't overdo it and stop if it begins to make things sensitive before it hurts. I carried groceries Wednesday in as few of trips as possible, so probably...

Gives me plenty to think about.

In the winter I get by with my Foreman Grill and a little Liquid Smoke, but Spring thru Fall is definitely charcoal.

I want to build a coop and yard area this Fall and select a few hens next Spring for egg laying. I'm not opposed to a fryer or two, but mainly want the eggs. I'm guessing the chicken math is comparable to the rabbit math I am familiar with. I probably won't have any roosters, so multiplication...

Thanks @goatgurl, I am definitely wanting to go portable.

Hey Joe, I hate to sound like a repetitious wet blanket, but almost as soon as I cut out carbs, the inflammation left. I realize there's an age difference and you have more vigorous work to do than I, but I think it could help you a bunch. The other thing I did was get rid of table salt or cook...

I know we all like to doctor and treat our own animals, but I'm thinking Vet...

Not enough words for comfort. :hugs Try not to feel guilty. I agree with @mystang89 that you gave her a good life and she enjoyed her freedom. Accidents happen, so don't beat yourself up. Tie you up a punching bag down in the basement or out in a tool/machine shed and take some good whacks and...

That sounds adventersome and living/working entirely by Faith. May God bless your works with all His goodness and provision.
