Coffee anyone ?

[thistlebloom]

I've been making coffee in my stovetop percolator lately. Takes longer, but I start it when I get the fire going in the morning and race out to throw hay at the horses. It's ready when I get back inside. It makes me think of my parents kitchen when I was little. The coffeepot perking and making the kitchen smell so good. Sentimental I guess.

Are you a runner Promise? Housework and rest in the same breath, lol.
Hope you get over this crud quickly. It doesn't help when you have to be in and out of the cold when doing even bare maintenance chores.

LOL
"Runner" as in the Mom kind, I run you here, and him there, and then stop for this and stop for that. Otherwise I'm more of a rider if you want me to go very fast without a vehicle.

Don't push it! This isn't an era where you are expected to birth the child out in the field, strap it on and get back to work.

If you can’t calm the dog down, pen her up. Those pigs represent a lot of freezer meat to feed your family. Worm them, feed them, slaughter and put in the freezer. If the little pigs are half feral, they probably won’t get very big, so keep them long enough to put a little finish on them. If you are feeding corn, sour it. Get a half dozen buckets, put enough corn in for one feeding, cover with water. Take a gallon of milk and split between the buckets. Let them sit 3 days. Feed morning and evening, refill each bucket when you feed them. Pour some of the sour water in the new bucket to get the process started quicker. If there is corn left in their tub, skip a feeding.

To worm them, get apple flavored ivermectin horse wormer at TSC. Cut crust off a slice of bread, put some wormer on the bread, fold in half and mash the edges together, making a wormer pillow. Toss over the fence to each pig. To condition them to the bread, toss them bread for several days before worming. You can also toss them hard boiled eggs for a treat, the sow will love them.

If the sow is pregnant, she has brought you a gift. She, herself, is a gift. Merry Christmas!

Excellent advice!
