NH Homesteader- turkeys!

[CntryBoy777]

Ah we got some hay for $1.50/bale and we have hay coming to us for my husband's help in the field. Sweet!

Picked the last of the beans and summer squash and ripped up the plants to feed to the pigs. Made some homemade chicken noodle soup (even made chicken stock which was awesome!) and homemade bread... Mmm

Good fall day.

Well, the 'Heat' is still 'ON' down here...though, talking about a 'Break' come monday...just can't Wait!!....it is always 'Good' when things work to your 'Favor' for a change....Glad for ya'll!!

Talk to me in February! How cold are your winters? Last year wasn't so bad here, we only hit - 20 twice, I think.

Here there are periods of Cool and Cold...could be in the 20's for a few days....and a couple in mid 60-70's....lows can get to single digits....but won't stay longer than a day or 2...that is in Dead winter Jan/Feb....the 'Trick' is hoping the Rain gets out b4 temps Drop....or, holds Off until it Warms...ice here can really be a Problem...have seen 1/2+" many times....have seen it rain for 2wks straight with Hi in 40's and lows in 30's....moisture=Mold...which =Mildew so it can have some Challenges here too...that Clay soil gets pretty 'Slick' when it is wet...and Heavy too when it collects on your Boots...LOL!!

Haha! I know all about wet boots. Started the pellet boiler tonight, it's cold! And we all have colds so we are a little more whiny about it than normal too

MINUS 20???? Are you freaking kidding me?? PLUS 20* is a HARD winter here!! that ice covered smiley just froze to death...


@CntryBoy777 we had 16 acres of black clay gumbo. I know all too well the slick wet mess it gets to be. Take a step and the yucky muck sucks your boot off. How good are you at standing on one foot trying to not stick your sock in the goo? I don't miss that place one bit! We bought a doublewide on 8 acres of sand and we don't even get any mud. I love it!
