Gathered up a few things this morning. Should do more but dad had an appointment today. #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Good morning all y’all! Appointment this morning but got my 15 mins in, house critters fed, poultry tended, and garden watered. Look at what I spotted! It’s the start of a second luffa! Yay! Have a great day! #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

@Jack Spirko listening to replay of today’s First Tuesday show. I have seen that Southpark Christian Rock Band show! 💯 % spot on!

Good morning all y'all! Got my 15 minute walk-fit type thing completed. Gearing up to get morning chores done then order lunch, load the Buick, and head over to prepare for today's lunch & learn at City Of Hope Fellowship . Bringing Back The Village will present "Planning Ahead" at 11:30. #holsteinhouse #community #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Many small things knocked out today. Including processing oranges, peaches, and pineapple for dehydrating, juice, and fruit leathers. Also made up 18 lavender sachets with lavender from my garden. #holsteinhouse #wv #travel #grownostr #nostr

Good morning all y'all! Got my 15 minutes of indoor walking exercise in. I may stick with it longer than one week. It was challenging to my arms. The sun comes up noticeably later now. Sunrise is now 6:31. I have peaches and pineapple to put in the dehydrator. I think I'll dry some orange peel, and freeze some juice. #holsteinhouse #wv #USA #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv #Summer #wellness #health #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Two dozen duck and two and a half dozen chicken eggs clean. I will end up freezing some duck eggs. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #eggs #chickens #ducks #gm #pv 🤙 #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Good morning all y’all! Nice harvest this morning: Kale, Chard, Sweet Potato leaves, Indigo Rose tomatoes, Jersey Devil tomatoes, beans, and a few peppers. I don’t usually accept free food at pantries or thrift shops. God blessed me with a good man that earns enough for us both. One local shop was pleading with shoppers to take fresh foods before they had to be thrown out. I picked up two pineapple, bananas, a bag of oranges, and tomatoes. Now I have to figure out what to do with them. LOL #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Good morning all y'all! Got my 10 minute "walk" in. House critters fed. Getting ready to tend the poultry, check garden, record a Holstein House video, and deliver two bread machines to Jericho House. How's your weekend looking? #holsteinhouse #wv #USA #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv #Summer #wellness #health #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

This cactus was planted by the previous owner of the house. I keep debating how to handle it because it's in a really bad place. I weeded it this morning, and put the mulch down. There were three active babies and another three lobes broken off I'm going to try to grow in pots. #holsteinhouse #wv #USA #travel #bnb #garden #gm #pv #nostr #grownostr

Good morning all y'all! I'll probably jinx myself but I just completed my 7th indoor walking exercise. I found a series on YouTube called Yes2Next. She has a "senior" series. Last week I did five minutes a day. I missed Monday but yesterday and today I did the same one twice in a row. The plan is to move to a 15 minute one next week. The goal is to get back to my 2 mile a day walk again, with the dogs. #seniors #exercise #nostr #grownostr

Sitting in the waiting area with Dad and playing with AI. My first creation #grownostr #gm #AI

Have Dad in town for scheduled cardiac stress test. Usually takes HOURS. Doc has a new machine that supposedly shortens the time of one part. We’ll see. #daddysgirl #cardiac #medical #senior

This is I77N/64W in Charleston WV yesterday Jul 23 2025. It was backed up for miles and hours due to emergency repairs on the Ft Hill Bridge, I64W. Work continues. Check your Waze. #WV #USA https://rumble.com/v6wmcy2-i64w77n-traffic-in-wv.html

Ever tried growing potatoes from store-bought ones? Today, we're unearthing our harvest of small white potatoes. Fresh, organic, and grown right here. What's your favorite potato dish?

This is my potato harvest. It’s huge! 😆 I didn’t think it would be much. The vines kept breaking. They will go well with a handful of beans, though. #holsteinhouse #potatoes #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Baby potatoes need to be harvested. LOL. No idea how many are in there. Maybe just these two. I didn’t think the vine lived long enough to produce. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #potatoes #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Thought I had 45 mins of podcast in the can. Turns out it didn’t record. 🙄 Have Dad at the spine doctor for an ablation follow up. It’s just been about a month but he says it hasn’t helped much. Mine took a little longer. Another crazy week ahead. Here’s a picture of Betty for your viewing pleasure. 😁 #holsteinhouse #Boxer #dogs #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

So, the short version is Betty is mostly fine, but has a slightly enlarged heart, and significant degenerative disease in he spine, with a section actually fused. The longer version is she did fine with the vet till they tried to put her on her side for xray. So he gave her a small bit of sedative. After he got the images he gave her something to bring her around, and started walking her back to the exam room where I was. She went down, had a seizure, peed all over, and it was over before he could give her an anticonvulsive. Ended up being there almost three hours total. She's still woozie. #BoxerMom #dogsofnostr #nostr #grownostr #HolsteinHouse #wv #usa #travel
