I snapped this picture of a wild plum tree in the fence line across the road from our front fence. We pick the small, red plums from this tree and another patch of wild plums and I make yummy jam.

Loving the herd life
We have lots of those around too. Only I just eat them raw (worms & all?) And get a belly ache.
Although I DID drag out my inherited pressure cooker last week. Now to just get up the nerve to use it.

Well, I was looking for one of your hog raising threads and saw this one! I'm so glad that I went through it! You live in a very beautiful area. I loved all of your pictures, your animals are beautiful and your granddaughters are gorgeous!

Double yolker egg!
Broccoli!
When Sheep can’t reach the cedar branches to snack on, just jump in the flatbed trailer for Extra height.
Supper. Lamb we raised, broccoli out of the garden and beet greens lightly sautéed in butter.
Dessert. Amaretto Creme Brûlée with a crunchy melted sugar crust. Eggs from our hens.
Feeder pigs, Elsa (white one) and Carrot. Names courtesy of granddaughters. They will go to that fabulous pig resort in August. It will be hot then, so hanging (literally) in a freezer will be a major improvement-as far as we are concerned. LOL
Then what shows up today? After a long hiatus under the portable building by the two guinea hens, they proudly presented babies! The male(white one) was so lonesome without the hens, that he stayed under the building with them. He is very tender and protective of his children. We sat outside watching the family cruise the yard calling th the chicks to keep up. 11 babies! We are enchanted.
Baby under a poke leaf. That’s the country version of “we found you under a cabbage leaf. “ Too cute! These little guys are quarter sized fuzzy balls on toothpick legs.
Wait for us!

You're doing good. Most guineas' won't stay on the nest long enough to hatch them and they overall don't make very good mothers. Hope yours do a better job than the average ones.

There is a storm coming tonight. I hope the parents take them back under the building. Guineas are dumb. Here is hoping!
