Woke up at 1 AM. Husband woke up at 3 AM. We got up, drinking coffee. I was getting things out to make the squash/pumpkin pies and realized I have no evaporated milk. I have 3 cans of condensed milk, so looked up a recipe using that. Eh. It'll work or it won't. Gonna finish coffee and get started on pies to take for Christmas. Gotta wrap presents too.

It should work.
Thanks the coffee. Baked (&washed dishes) most the day. Made the last bit of jerky, helped kids make then frost sugar cookies, made reindeer chow, gingerbread fudge, pumpkin pie, caramels. I think that's it,... also squeezed in an eye dr appointment. Just a chocolate mousse pie tonight after we get back from an adventure to get a new bunny for dd1 since we had to cull a favorite due to bad teeth.

Up and about, slowly. no need to rush. Coffee brewing, cockerels crowing. 30 out there, not a crowing event to me -- I'd snuggle back down and shut up! Supposed to get to low 50s. That would be nice. Plan to go across street with trailer for a couple rolls of hay....place one under carport for a help yourself buffet for the 9 mini mares. . We' ll see how long it lasts them. Otherwise, a quiet day at home.....

We got the presents wrapped. DH helped.
The squash pulp has been draining in a colander, looks like more than a cup of liquid drained out. Drinking last cup of coffee, clothes in dryer, then going to go make pies.

I have last minute house cleaning today, animal cages need cleaned too. I feel bad for the ducklings! Their water was out and the rest was already crystallizing, so pointless to add more last night. But the cold seemed fine with them. I’m tempted to let them out with the big ducks and geese, but afraid they’d drown themselves in the big waters. I can’t believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Oh, and it’s time to make cookies. Does anyone know a decent low carb cookie recipe, like for a diabetic? I have someone I would love to surprise with cookies, especially sugar cookies, but low carb is making me skeptical. Merry Christmas y’all!

Serve it with plenty of Mama Wall's eggnog, no one will notice if it doesn't come out well.

Was breezy but nicer day, warmer 50-low 60'w.... rain supposed to be coming in tonight and all day tomorrow.... temps diving down into the 20's Thurs night and only 30's on Friday... teens on Fri night....

@farmerjan we get that system tomorrow and, they say, huge winds...poss tornado activity. Not wanting either! So morning will find me battening down the hatches. Not my idea of a good time.

Coffee is on.
Woke up way too early...bad dream.
Fun day got Jocelyn her new buck. And explored at a state park.
Today we have Christmas with DH's family. Just a small group.
Merry Christmas and peace to all. Be safe friends
