I am trying out a new idea: Saturday livestreams to reflect on the week before and discuss the week ahead, and to hear from you about what you would like to see covered. So, bring your ideas and become a member of my editorial board. Also today you get to meet our new puppy!!
Did you know that chickens love milk? Whenever our goats knock over a jar while we are milking them, we give the remainder to the chickens as a treat. They go crazy for it. It has a lot of protein, which gives them a boost for winter nutrition, and calcium, which is great for strengthening egg shells. Raw milk is also given to chickens at times to aid with gut disorders because of the beneficial bacteria and enzymes. Plus, our chickens just love it! Anyone else do this?
Our hens decided to take holiday break starting around Halloween. So today I gave them a pep talk and let them know that they may have made it to Thanksgiving but free-loader soup is on the menu for Christmas.
I got a real chuckle out of this one. A sweet 4H teen agreed to help milk our goat while we visit my parents for Thanksgiving. I noticed right away we’d have a bit of a challenge, given the 2 inch long acrylic nails. She just had them done and said, “I haven’t had nails in 3 years!” Perfect timing. 🤣We tested them out. This is why I never have nice nails and had one person comment, “you look like you play hockey.”
This whole show is ridiculous. First a judge RIGHTFULLY told Donald John Trump to get troops off the streets in DC. Less than a week later a shooting odder than anything occurs. Now, it's back to the old blame immigrants, Arabs and Muslims game.
And by the way, Epstein didn't kill himself!!!
