things round here # 2

Things have been going good, not only for us but all our friends to the south. The Midlands are finally drying out, but the damage is done and much work is needed to fix what the flooding destroyed.

  A couple of weeks ago Senior bought us this double burner stove. When the new house is done, we will be moving it into a storage building that will sit right out from the side porch, I will move my umpteen canning jars, and all the supplies in that as well. Thus making it the canning supply room.
 Senior had Monday off for the Columbus Day. So we did some potatoes. The best part is being able to have two pressure cookers running at the same time. It is also great in case of emergencies, just another way to be prepared for whatever life throws you.



ND was about to pee his pants to finally cut his pumpkin, The kid is so excited about Halloween that he  couldn't stand it any longer. While it was no where near the size it could have been, it isn't bad. Bigger then a basketball, and weighs around 10-15 pounds. Next year though we will get them in the ground much earlier.



  Libby absolutely despises "Black Jack"the rooster and I believe the feeling is mutual.The two crack me up when they get started going at it. On this day his feathers were getting incredibly ruffled and he was trying to spur her through the wire.








   

It is turning much cooler here, lows will be in the 30s next week.We have enjoyed beautiful fall weather, and keeping the windows open. It is a welcome break from the drought and hot temps of the summer.  Have a blessed Day...    -JUGM

  1. JUGM,

    Congrats on your double burner stove, I can't live without mine.
    To have two pressure cookers going at once, sure makes a world of difference when canning. I'm happy for you, having storage for all of your canning items. I would kill for one, instead of having my supplies all throughout my house. ND did really good growing his pumpkin. Will he be carving it out for Halloween? If so, does he have an idea what he'll carve on it?
    Hugs and love to you and yours.

  2. Those are nice set ups. And yes, excellent backup/SHTF units too! You know sooner or later the dog IS going to get the rooster, right?

  3. That's nice gear to have on hand. Lots of uses and very versatile. My dogs just ignore my chickens, unless a rooster fight starts and then the dogs come roaring in and break it up. I didn't teach them that, they just do it.
