If you all drive fast u might be in time for one this morning gonna finish eating them for breakfast. And the bacon was really good with them.

Doubt any of us will make it!

But, speaking of bacon. -- $8-10 a pound in stores! Those 3 slabs in my freezer are golden!!!!!! Things are getting crazy, as we have all predicted. I've stocked my cabinets and finishing the freezer soon. Take any sale you see as an opportunity. This wasn't a good yr to have garden failures but, glad I'm still stocked from last year for most things. If I had three hungry teens at home, I'd be concerned.

It's a nice 71 out there this morning. Hope I get something done, won't be much.

High of 83 and a low of 60. Hello fall weather! Baking tonight; maybe. The farmer is harvesting the corn so we have mice. Last night I noticed 12 boxes of broth or shelf stable milk chewed through. Yuck! Going to have to clean it up this morning. Glad we have a kitten now, but I sure do hope she starts mousing really soon! Depending on if I can get everything scrubbed well enough will determine if I bake. I sure do hate mice. But it’s nice having corn fields so close; makes it feel like the world will be okay.

I have gotten 2 mice in the last 2 days in the traps after not having caught any for weeks..... and no harvesting fields nearby either. One of the cupboards that I moved here , had had mice get into it and what a mess... having to clean it all out and am going to put a new coat of minwax stain on the middle shelf that is permanently fixed in it when built for stability... as there must have been flour/meal worms that actually "ate" into the finish on the wood....I took and scrubbed it all out with water and detergent and dried it all , just like I scrub down the moveable shelves before I put them back in. But want to redo this one shelf just to seal it back up.
I have been doing some more stocking up too... have stuff piled everywhere while I wait to get the stove flex hose installed and things put back into some sort of order so I can start getting the kitchen organized a bit better. Will go to my favorite "discount" store on Tuesday and see what canned goods they have.... my freezers are packed. Just brought home the jersey steer I had worked up. I can eat for a looong time....
Thankfully, I had some bacon put back in the freezer, then picked up several packages when it was at a reasonable price of like 2.49 a lb..... even the store brand ones aren't too bad for some things....Keep trying to pick up some seafood when I can find a few sales as I like the variety....but for now my concentration is on some canned stuff... and paper products. I try to always get a pkg of toilet paper every time I shop.... and often some "kleenex" tissues for nose blowing... some paper towels but I mostly use cloth dish towels. Oh, and clothes detergent and softener, and some dish detergent.

I also got an order of Tattler canning lids delivered and have some metal ones also ordered. Buying in bulk is a little cheaper. Also ordered some of the old fashioned rubber rings for my old bail top lid jars.... Next year I plan to can as much as I can possibly do..... getting the stuff now will help with not being able to find it when the crunch is on next year. Going to get some pectin for jellies/jams... although I like to have the fruit butters to spread.... and less sugar. And I should have my stove and everything else all ready to jump right into canning and preserving next year too... even have my new knees to be able to stand on!!!!

Good evening everyone.
We're still surviving, DH ended up in the hospital for a few days but is home again and doing better. This covid is nasty stuff and I really wish drs would start treatment long before people end up in the ER/hospital... but they say it's procedure.... and nothing to be done... then you're in the hospital and they start steroids and some people even get a "cocktail" infusion.... and you suddenly start to improve. DH was past day 10 so didn't get the infusion but the steriods and oxygen for a few days did help. So so so very sad how political it is.
Anyways kids have really stepped up doing animal chores. I am slowly helping again. We pulled a full hay wagon home from the farm (I REALLY WISH WE WERE MOVED!) and friends unloaded and stacked it in the shed for us. Actually my farrier, her hubby and my feed lady... great friends to have. Another friend's daughters helped DS with rabbit cages. Yeah I did it last week but this week took it's toll and I am working on getting my strength back again. And kids have been getting school done also, having a separate school room has been very nice especially so DH can sit and watch tv while he rests. Been making him "real" breakfasts... eggs bacon, whatever he wants. Spoiled husband he is. But so thankful for him to be home. Anyways it's nice to catch up.

Wow, scary.



Glad things are improving.

See, that is why some of us are so dam@#d p.o, ed... because there are treatments and doctors will not "go against procedure" and take care of their patients first. Read the article that @Mike CHS posted on his thread about the many, many studies that have been done and the benefits of using ivermectin.... and yes, there is a people form in pills.... People are getting better in a few days because it STOPS the virus.....there is alot that can be done and they won't do it. I know people who have had "other treatments"... as do several others on here....

I am really glad for all of you that he did improve some and hope that he continues to improve, there at home.

I know how good it is to be in "one place" after finally getting everything moved to my "new" house... except the fish tanks and that will be as soon as the yellow jackets quit the building they are in. It is definitely a pain to have to go back and forth.... and not fun when you are sick on top of it. Continued prayers for both you and your DH to feel better.

I ended up cleaning for most of yesterday. Then I went over and checked my neighbors dogs. She has one who should be expecting, so I felt her stomach (I’ve been pretty accurate on preggo dogs before) and didn’t feel anything. She might just be gaining weight. That being said I stood up for a moment and didn’t realize the male had slipped in while I wasn’t paying attention and smh wouldn’t you know it I didn’t feel any babies.
I also ended up baking a pumpkin cake, brownies, pb cookies, and lemon cake. Plus, chicken soup because I accidentally spread a cold to my family.
Tonight, after dinner, I think I need to put cinder blocks in the bottom of the goat shelter; but I might save that for tomorrow.

@promiseacres glad things are improving for you and you families health. Tough to be sick! And on a farm, some things must be done. No matter what.

Today started work at 8 and home by 2. Short day. No complaints. Sat for an HR then told self we had to mow the yard! Can't say I wanted to but, needed to and did most. Tomorrow I'll catch some quirky spots with the walk behind and weed eat. Need to switch out backhoe and bushhog on tractor....few field areas to hit.

Yesterday I Used tractor and moved some dirt to fill a couple holes that were annoying me in the yard. And some driveway work on road to back of farm....more dirt and also gravel there. Possible light rain Wed night. Then I can top off as needed once it settles and dries, packs in. Don't need road issues in winter.

Otherwise -- same old stuff.

God bless good neighbors. What wonderful people to step in and help. I'm glad your husband is home from the hospital. Covid is bad, only stupid people think its not real. The treatment procedure is.......... well I guess I'd better shut up before I say something unpopular.

I'm praying for you and husband's complete recovery.
