This guy's videos are awesome!

He's called The Prolific Familystead, and I've found him on Facebook and YouTube. Here's … Continue reading Gardening videos

Yummy treats
Every summer, my inlaws plant a little patch of corn. My mother-in-law freezes what they can't eat, and then my father-in-law cuts down the stalks and brings them to our cattle. Bessie (left) and Tilly (right) 8/21/21 They sure do love them!

I'm horrible with posting their pics daily! These chicks have grown a TON in just nine days! They're like little dinosaurs! I cannot believe I didn't take the pics daily.
