A few of my favorite things . . .

 

I still have a stand up shredder, that you shred by hand, but we love this hand crank one.  It has a suction on the bottom to stay in place, the cheese goes in the top (pushed down with that red piece and wa-la grated cheese.  Easy to clean too.  We don't buy shredded cheese.  We buy blocks/bulk blocks, freeze and then grate. 


My Oklahoma Pastry Cloth.  I gifted the kids one at Christmas, along with tools for making rolls, and some of my recipes.  Love this cloth!  You can buy them online!  I think I shared this before, but sharing again.



Coop tool!   Don't worry, I took this photo the day I bought it.  I wanted to do that in case it became a favorite tool for the coop.  I have used plastic cat litter scoop to clean roosts for years.  I finally bought a metal one.  I love it!  Works so much easier.

I have a metal litter scoop for the coop too! I got it for it's intended purpose but didn't like it for that - love it for cleaning out nests though! Take Care !
Debby, I love it for the roosts too. I can't wait for our new coop to be built.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
