26 right now...heading to 45 and rain. Warm this week and I hope my back yard "skating rink" thaws out.

Good morning. A thin layer of ice on the top of the drinking troughs this morning, easy enough to break. Not like last year, when I had to hammer away at the pond to get drinking water. Now one of those A10's would have come in handy for that...

Drew, when growing up my wife and myself were quite happy to be served up cold cow's stomach (flat tripe, or honeycomb) that had been soaking overnight in milk, together with a slice of bread an butter for tea. I also asked her what she thought of chittlings (from cattle) and the face she pulled agreed with my memories too. Even kids who were mostly grateful for any food had their limits.


Noticed yesterday that visibility when pulling out from the gateway onto the road in the tractor is getting poor, mostly due to the holly in the hedge. I need to cut it all back before the birds start nesting and hopefully will get on with that later today.

23F cloudy mid 40's for high,rain/snow mix this afternoon into tonight,above normal all week long for temps...that should draw the frost from the ground quickly. :)

Enjoy the day all.

I've been describing all the "end of the line" products I've been seeing in the local meat market, very different than in PA.
I must admit to having grown up with a father who liked some interesting foods, like horribly smelly kippered herring, which he cooked in a pan and stunk up the entire house, and cow's tongue. Tongue and mustard, tongue and mustard. Somehow I got it down but I think in my teens I just couldn't swallow it any more. Not much for organ meat either. Reminds me of eating a catfish, a bottom feeder that eats all the pcbs at the bottom of the polluted river. I always wonder what's "left" in the liver I'm eating. Haven't eaten that in a while either.

Reminds me I need to eat more salmon. Have a fish store I want to check out and that's my next buy. Will get a big piece and freeze a couple dinner's worth.
Fish is so expensive...not quite as durable I suppose as Farmer's chickens.
I eat chicken at least two or three times a week in some fashion, trying to keep Farmer in demand.

Any of us raise cattle for market?

31 and frosty going to 65.

Had a great time last night with dinner guests over. Don, your wife would have been welcome...too far to drive for shepherds' pie. Hope she enjoyed the finale..."happily ever after" endings for all.

Eric, you've reminded me I need to do some trimming before the birds nest...although based on the wrens on our porch, I may be too late for some birds.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 58° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 70° with partly cloudy skies. Couple days of cool down. The back to the 80°. I am all caught up on my projects for now. Nothing is planned for the day. Maybe BBQ some ribs.
Good Morning All.

My Mom and Dad do (with my help), and I lease my land out for cattle production of "organic cows". They are not sold as organic grass fed angus calves they are just sold at the auction as stocker calves for about $1.60 a pound. So I guess the answer to you question is "kinda".

Good Morning! 65˚ cloudy looking for rain later. My wife wants a battery operated weed trimmer for around the house so we will check ot the EGO to match her mower and blower. I would have never thought a battery mower would be good out here but it defiantly works good for her which makes it really work good for me.

Wngsprd, The ending was just a happy ending, like a fairy tail.

The curbing for the paver walk which curves around the rose garden, for easy mowing, is complete and has been inspected (pic). Next is compacting and leveling getting a nice bed for the paver placement - if the rains hold off.
