Coffee anyone ?

Slept well...up early. Having a second cup and checking posts. It's still warm, so outside work again today. Yesterday I worked on a run in that needed some love! So, a new wall and a burn pile. DS helped. 👍. Then I got busy with post hole diggers...couple gate posts, a corner, prep for some fence moves. Livestock changes make new places necessary. 🤷.

Unusually warm of late, makes me want to buy chicks. 😲. I've been good...didn't hit their send button. Yeah, not time!! Some hens back into lay, longer days would sure help.

Didn't get my traps set for those possum last night...need to get that ready today! Got busy with other stuff and forgot until too late. Will pull the traps out this morning! Better get a move on!
 
Going for second cup of coffee. Got majorly distracted by the new Baker Creek catalog. I have to tell myself no. But I do know 2 people who plant big gardens and will be able to buy vegetables from, so there's that. Think I'll share some seed of the Thai Long Beans, those things could feed the world.

Started packing some boxes yesterday, stuff that can stay in boxes and be let out to see the light of day at an unknown future date.
 
Good morning all. It's a cool wet start here today. Above average but cooler than of late.

😂. One seed company sent an email to advise catalog would be late from printer due to paper shortages. Ok by me. Temptation averted. Plus in Jan I have work assignments to set seed displays in some large box stores...real temptation to buy then.

Our weather continues to be outstanding! Hope the Jan and Feb weather doesn't come in extreme in wrong direction! It's scary to even think that!! But.....concerned.

Have half day of work assignments, so I'll get that done this morning. Then, who knows.😎
 
Not feeling well today. Fever of 102.6. Took one of those rapid at home Covid test things and it was positive. But I don’t trust the thing. So we are going to a doctor and drowning ourselves in vitamin C. But not too much because I don’t like the taste of it. If I do have it I don’t know what to do, I’ll have to be constantly pumping and freezing. Ugh.
 
I was up at 5:30. Got the pressure canner loaded with 7 quart jars of chicken leg quarters and rice by 6:30. Just turned it off. Got another 10 pound bag to do. I get 7 quart jars per 10 pound bag of leg quarters. Dogs go crazy for it mixed with their kibble. They lick the bowls clean. Better than dry food that they eat a little and walk away from. Then ants get in it, or the sheep eat it or it just gets old and they don't want it anymore. So canning chicken for dogs it is. I buy leg quarters on sale.

I dump a quart jar into a half gallon jar and add water to thin it down. Each dog gets 2-3 big spoon fulls in their food and I mix it up. Works for me!

Now got to let it cool down, unload and reload 7 more jars.
 
I haven't gotten my ccatalog yet can't wait been seed crazy already gonna make some raised beds for my garden this year so I can still have In case move. Also will be sowing direct to have excess for canning.
C get ultra mins off Amazon it's a mineral supplement that as the majority of of the vitamins my midwife had me take while pregnant with covid. Also vitamin d. She had me taking 5 vitamin d's and 10 (1000ng) vitamin c. I see if I can find the exact dosage of each. The ulta mins have zinc and magnessam and several others that help your immune sytem
