Today, I looked out the window and saw: Roosters in the yard! Apparently they are feeling better.
Earlier this year, before the pandemic and lockdown, I determined I needed to get back to my preparedness efforts. When I stopped tracking my progress through this blog, I let my preparedness efforts slide. I did have other issues going on in that time… Continue Reading “Preparedness Lapse”
Meal #1 – Tuscan Herbed Chicken Linguine Let me start by saying: I would never have made this dish on my own. I would have looked at the list of ingredients I needed to acquire/gather, and the steps involved, and discarded it as “too… Continue Reading “Every Plate Meal Kits – The Experiment Begins”
It’s been about three week’s since I realized Blondie and Dotty have Marek’s Disease. Marek’s Disease is pretty much an automatic death sentence in a large flock.
