I’ll be typing better after the coffee kicks in.
I do everything better once the coffee kicks in, LOL!
Yesterday we got our beef steer. He is so dang CUTE, but luckily, he’ll grow up to be an unruly brute and it won’t bother me to eat him after dealing with him for 18 months, LOL! His name is ‘Weber.’ We’ve already raised, ‘Dinner’ and ‘Supper.’ ;)
My salad greens are STILL doing well in the unheated greenhouse, but I had to compost the three tomato plants this week; the only reason they made it this far was the warm & SUNNY Fall we’re having. Good weather ahead for another week. Highs in the 40’s, lows in the 20’s and SUNSHINE. Yay!
I started some more lettuces under lights indoors and I have two 6-packs of spinach that I brought in and are ready to eat. I harvested the last of the red cabbage and there are still Brussels Sprouts to harvest today and some random lettuces to dig up and move to empty spots in the greenhouse.
We’ve been taking advantage of the warm (relative) weather by cleaning up the deck, getting rid of the hot tub, getting some junker cars and an old skid steer off the property - YAY! My favorite thing is to shed stuff!
All the hunting dogs are fine; we did lose Claire (Plott Hound) to a kidney issue - seems to be a problem for the breeder we have used for them - it’s happened 2x now. Enough! No more dogs from him...I’ll grow my own! ;)
Beau is moving a few of them from their summer outdoor kennel to insulated doggy condos for the winter; it’s too much work to keep the snow & waste cleared from the area they’re in right now, and the older we get, the more careful we have to be of where we’re walking. An unfortunate truth - both of us are sunk if one of us is down. :(
Doing some Christmas Prep and decorating around the house, and since Beau is off at the ‘Rabies Round-Up’ this morning, with four of our dogs, I can get some sneaky gift wrapping done. The ‘Rabies Round-Up’ is a function of their Raccoon Hunt Club - a local Vet gives rabies shots at a discount to any hunting dogs that show up. Beau has it all planned out so there is little people-to-people contact; just Vet to Dog contact.
Have a Good Day, Everyone! Looking forward to hearing what you’re all up to. :)
