You can say winter's arrived for sure...Glenda,<br /><br />You can say winter's arrived for sure with all that beautiful snow. I love your new header picture with the Cardinals. Congrats on finding a truck to work on the farm, and make life easier for DH. It does make a difference when you have the tools you need to help work on a farm. <br />I pray 2016 is a better year for all of us. Stay warm, don't work to hard.<br />Hugs,<br />SandySandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-70674255585988804092016-01-10T07:42:23.615-06:002016-01-10T07:42:23.615-06:00I'm so glad that DH found a good vehicle to he...I'm so glad that DH found a good vehicle to help him with the cattle. It would be a shame if he had to give them up. Happy for both of you: happy cattle, happy husband, happy milkmaid! LOL <br /><br />I made 2 loaves of sourdough spelt bread yesterday. The side of one 'blew out' like yours. I have to remember to mist them before going into the oven to keep the crust from 'setting' before the rising stops. Glad I can make 2 loaves every couple of weeks instead of as often as you have to do. (I freeze mine.)<br /><br />Mild here right now but the jet stream will sag over us today. High wind warnings, bitter temps to follow. Brrr. Stay warm.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-17340053392580508802016-01-10T05:42:54.359-06:002016-01-10T05:42:54.359-06:00We are very cold here this morning, the heat pump ...We are very cold here this morning, the heat pump has been laboring trying to keep us warm. I turned on the oven (it's electric so not as unsafe as gas would be) and lit a few candles for a little extra heat. Hubs said he'd start a little fire in the fireplace insert. <br /><br />I need to bake bread today. Hubs has finally abandoned buying that fake "wheat bread" at the store and is happy to eat the bread I make from grinding wheat berries. I use a ratio of 3.5 cups of whole wheat and 2 of white enriched, and get a decent rise that way. That's about 60% whole wheat which is more than he gets from store bread, by a long shot. I make it in flattened buns, we slice them in half as we need them for sandwiches and toast or just eating out of hand. Less mess with crumbs and therefore less waste. <br /><br />So glad to see the purchase of the truck, that will help sooooo much. <br /><br />We are just "holing in", waiting for winter to be over. I'm starting some wintersowing jugs but otherwise not being worth much. Ordered some Edgar Cayce books. The one I'm reading now is very interesting.RockWhispererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204125716550161500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-24284918553376815592016-01-09T18:53:32.782-06:002016-01-09T18:53:32.782-06:00Really enjoy reading of your every day happenings....Really enjoy reading of your every day happenings. Glad your hubby got the new truck that will make things easier for him. I think when we start "giving up" on things, it's the start of the end. So I'm glad to hear you're not giving up on the cows. Even though doing farm/homestead/livestock chores in the winter can be a pain in the patoot, it still feels good to get out and know you're taking good care of things.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-4615950233504269672016-01-09T17:31:31.874-06:002016-01-09T17:31:31.874-06:00I love your header.
