TTs Critter Pics & Ramblings

[TTs Chicks]

Spent today with my Mom - it was a good day Went to Tractor Supply, Dollar Tree and WalMart. We had lunch at the farmers market restaurant it was good food.

Had a girl contact me yesterday about Timmy and Trouble. Exchanged a few emails today and talked to her Dad on the phone - they are supposed to come after church tomorrow to get them

Timmy and Trouble

left about an hour ago headed for their new home Kinda sad selling the first 2 goats born on my little farm but they went with some nice folks who picked up a couple more doelings from someone else today so they'll be happy.

Angel hollered for a few minutes (actually all the goats did) but she's out there munching on grass now. When I commented to the boys that Angel hollered when Trouble left, my middle son said "well wouldn't you holler if someone sold Wyatt?"

The Momma of the girl who actually wanted the goats tried to talk me down another $50 - I already dropped the price $50 if they took both babies so I told her no. She asked about buying 4 of the little chicks I have and wanted to give me $2 a piece I don't think so - day old hatchery chicks cost more than that and these were hatched from my eggs and are about a month old.

Guess I need to move from here - I got tomatoes to get canned before they go bad.

Happy Sunday!

Well I didn't get the tomatoes canned but I did get them put in the fridge and off the counter there were 4 turning bad so the chickens got a treat. The rest are fine and can still rippen a little but they should do fine in the fridge for a couple days.

I decided to clean out the leftovers fridge and all I can say is there were some science projects happenen in there. Now it's mostly full of tomatoes

how hard is it to can and how much do I start with?

Last year was the first time I attempted it and I was very nervous but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I have a Ball guide to preserving book that has step by step directions. You can do it, it's just like following a recipe.

I will have to get one I already have my canning kit and jars
I just need the nerve to try

 

[TTs Chicks]

You can do it - just read the directions and go for it, that's what I did course I read em a few times and kept my book on the counter while I did it cause I was really nervous doing it for the first time.
