DownHomeHodler

My #coffeechain mug choice when I see four more days of rain in the forecast at the farm 🥲… I think my daily combo of dry winter clothes and shoes weigh more than I do. I’m tired yall 😮‍💨. Considering hibernation bc #fuckthisshit. Happy Friday ☕️🥶💦

Sunday restock 🐐🥛🧼 Got lots done on the homestead this weekend! -Cleaned up some debris from a fallen tree in the #goatstr pen and burned a big ol’ brush pile. Lots of good firewood still there for later this winter though 🪵! -We made a big dent in our serving tray order. That’s what the dogs were helping with yesterday. We’re gonna get that delivered to the retail store Black Friday am. So that’s what we’ll be doing in the PM’s this week. -Got some waterfowl wings cut this afternoon. Muscovys are really great flyers and we hate to cut their wings, but to avoid them flying off and coming home with clutches of 30 ducklings, it has to be done. We also do it out of respect for our neighbors since they’ll go as far as their property and roost around their home. Had to cut the heritage turkeys’ wings too. The barnyard mix breed ducks are too fat to fly. -Restocked the goats milk soap supply. Went with orange & ceadarwood scent this time. -Enjoyed a sermon by The Church of Eleven22 and found a cool Christian marriage advent program that’s also #ennegram based. I’m excited to start that in December! We’ve been having a lot of fun with that “woo woo” stuff lately. #homesteading #selfsufficeint #goatmilksoap

GM nostr T - 2 months until we’re filling freezers!! Down here the decent meat processors close intake for cattle until deer season is done. Its finish fed until then. Feed your angus how you want, I like mine with a little fat. #homesteading #farmstr #farmtotable #homegrown #cowstr #blackangus #beef #coffeechain

GM nostr We’ve got a warm front coming and nothing makes me happier ☺️!! We’ll be back in the 80’s today. Probably for the last time this year so #catchmeoutside with Buddy the #goatstr. Who acts exactly like Buddy the elf. #homesteading #farmstr #watchthosehornspal No #coffeechain bc of course he knocked it over.

See you soon! 😋 -signed a sucker for a sweet treat #foodstr

GM nostr It’s gonna be a beautiful day here and we have lots to do on the homestead! My husband’s sh*t college football team plays later, so we’ll stop for that around lunch. My husband hates when I leave the doors open (bc of country bugs 🕷️), but it’s his compromise since later I’ll pretend to like football. I’m off my coffee kick lately. This season makes me crave hot chocolate. But I’ve been having to supplement some caffeine so through out the rest of the am I do this tea. I’m excited to look for a brews one to try tomorrow when we’re out running errands. #coffeechain #teatime

Turkey egg & bacon quiche for win 🍽️. Bc my better half went through all the trouble of setting up a huge chunk of beef in the souvide this morning and then forgot to press go 😬. #homesteading #farmtotable #foodstr

I can’t be the only homesteader that hates chickens right? I just don’t understand their allure to the masses vs ducks. I’d die for my ducks, but these chickens can kick rocks… especially this homegrown rooster that’s starting to give me the ick. Had he not turned out like his dad, he’d already be in the pot. But he’s been a good boy. Soon though 🥘😋!

I’m a sucker for a late night snack 😋! Seasonal #SCgrown crimson apples & no bs. Straight from the jar 🍎🍎🍎 #homemade #certifiedSC #farmtotable
