Old? Hmm... handing down tradition doesn't make you old? Oh well, I think it makes you smart and self sufficient. But old, nah!


FWIW, I think going back to the old ways of existing will make you stronger in the long run. It's a shame more have not followed their traditions. But have fell for modern technology.

Ah the old grey fergie - great tractor - All my tractors are 1960s David Browns and my combine is a pull behind working off the tractor pto. To most farmers around here they think I have a pile of junk - well I did pay $50 for my manure spreader
We have sour cherry trees (great pies) and a few pear and apple trees. Rasberrys that keep producing until the first frost. Yes we also feed grass cuttings to the pigs and chickens.
Nice Journal by the way

No arguments there. I was lucky in that I spent a lot of time with grandparents and great grands.

First of all, I'm not old, though I feel it sometimes. I'm 34 so ha, I bet most of your are older than me. Yes, we use eggs in our Homemade ice cream. I remember using a hand cranked one as a kid, that sucked, lol. I got a little motorized mixer on top of the bucket. Still makes great ice cream.

Have you tried using locally-grown honey? I switched from refined sugar to honey in my coffee and tea, and I've read that local honey will help people w/ allergies, something about the pollen from local plants that the bees use to make it helping w/ building immunity.
I don't have allergies, but I do have sinus problems. Goat milk doesn't bother me like cow milk used to.

The honey thing does work. I've been doing it for years and this is the first year that I've had problems in probably 10 years. Prior to that I had horrible hayfever. A wildflower honey works best for this and you want as local a bee keeper as you can find to procure your honey.

Well today was shot, thanks to my rare Sinus Migraine. Didn't get a thing done, wife grained the horses which isn't hard. Just now feeling better but going to take it easy.

Suffer from them too. They do take a toll. Hope you feel better.

 

[77Herford]

Yes, they do and yes I feel better. Kstaven's property does look nice but I see more of a Goat country than cattle.
Not saying I wouldn't take the chance to live up there.

Well the wife's super powers of persuasion is working on me darn superwoman powers. Tomorrow morning I will be bringing home her prechosen Nigerian Dwarf goats, lol.
