Same! I don't scrimp on food

I'm sorry. Sixteen is a nice long life ❤️

First coffee of the day. Although I don't know if you can call it "coffee" when it's so doctored up: a bit o' butter, collagen, turmeric, cardamom, a drop of orange essential oil and some honey. Cream of course. I love raw egg yolk in it too but my poultry is too old at this point and I'm lucky to see an egg every few days (that's what you get when your kids name the chickens). We moved an outbuilding to convert into a chicken house so more will hopefully arrive. My ducks will be happier getting the hens out of their space! Oh my first hollyhock. Thinking of you all down south in the heat 😬, it's mid 70's here (don't worry--we'll be dark and gloomy enough soon). Really enjoying Nostr--thanks for making it real. I'm trying to post on Instagram but honestly my heart isn't in it anymore. Have a good day, all ☕️

Yes, that's what we have going. Here's hoping!

Got a couple of Gloucester Old Spots coming to raise for meat so we're building a little shelter. It's our first time raising hogs and I'm curious....raise them quick on free feed or raise them slow on measured feed? Seems like people like one way or another, we haven't decided but probably slower for more meat vs too much fat (not opposed to fat...we love lard!). Kids have named them site unseen already Bacon and Sausage--but I kinda like Paco and Taco.

Ok...what is plebchain?

This used to be my chair. Not that I spend a lot of time sitting. I love our animals, they're (mostly) so chill. Have a good night, all. #grownostr

Teaching my kid(s) how to do stuff. You're welcome 😎

Iris bc I'm a newbie and that's the first one I found via YT that taught me how to even begin to understand what all of this is. Super thankful for people who break everything down VERY SIMPLY and give people like me even a smidge of a chance to show up.

P.S. had to copy/paste this response via email to myself and off my cell via a client I won't name bc Iris sometimes won't let me post or like 🤷‍♀️

Happy Friday, everyone. Enjoy your weekend.

I went through this handy list of herbal properties and listed out what plants either grow around my home or that I know will grow well here. Do you #growyourownmedicine?

This morning I got squashes into the dehydrator, pickling cucumbers under the brine, a gallon of kombucha getting prepped, and a raspberry shrub started in the fridge. I have exactly one hour to prep and serve lunch to the kids before my friend comes to visit with her kids. There's no way the dishes are getting done before then. Not only won't she care, she'll likely jump in and help me. Because that's what real friends who want to "hang out" do. #grownostr #dehydrateyourfood

I like a chewed up plantain leaf for stings like that. And homeopathic apis if it feels hot. Sorry you got stung!

The "picture this" app is super great for identifying plants

It looks like on Damus I need to attach the Alby wallet??? But on my desktop it looks like it is? So now I'm confused.

thanks much; that looks like a better hashtag that I need

I hope I did this attachment right

Well I wanted to join the #coffeechain and say a good morning but it's after noon now and after taking care of the dog, cats, laundry, kids, chickens, ducks, cooking, and cleaning up this is the first chance I've sat down. I'm going with herbal tea (tulsi, lemongrass, lemon verbena) instead so I guess it's a #herbalchain. And good afternoon .

Puffed blueberry pancake (mostly almond flour) with blueberries on top. Because blueberries. Eat ''em while they're fresh!
