Yep, it's go time. I won't even pretend to like rodents 🐁🐀, and I don't care if you think I should buck up. Rodents and I don't work. This. This is going to work. No chemicals, no setting traps, no worries that my poultry or cat will come to harm if they decide to have a (lazy) snack. Justin is setting-up @goodnatureus mice and rat trap and we're going to drop 🥊🥊 them on the spot. Who am I kidding, Justin is in charge of this department! The first rat to go? The one in the quail barn. .
This is what I've resorted to. Barn cat, you're fired and being replace.

#rattrap #mousetrap replacing my lazy #barncat with this and new barn kitties! 🙌🙌

A GIVEAWAY FOR YOU! @melissaknorris and I have joi

A GIVEAWAY FOR YOU! @melissaknorris and I have joined forces and are giving 2 lucky individuals the chance to WIN BOTH books!
.
How to grow a year's worth of sustainable and healthy food goes hand-in-hand with learning how to effectively preserve the harvest. Guys, with the growing and preserving season fast approaching these 2 books NEED to be in your library!
.
Here's what you need to do to enter:
.
- Follow BOTH accounts @melissaknorris
AND @afarmgirlinthemaking - Tag family and friends (cause who doesn't need to learn how to own their food source). EACH TAG counts as 1 POINT
- Share on YOUR IG account FOR A POINT. Shoot, share as much on your page as you'd like! Just make sure you tag Melissa and I, we don't want to miss you sharing the goodness.
- WINNERS WILL BE SELECTED MONDAY the 20th!!! And then the planning season begin!
.
Good-luck to you all!

It's a multiple cup of coffee kinda day. I'm not sleeping well, I'm in the trenches of learning a whole lotta new things, Justin and I did our annual property assessment discussion for 2019, and we will be sitting down to plan 2020 this weekend, and the snow is already melting.
Yep, multiple cups of coffee kinda day. .

Snow is VERY shortlived here, and this beautiful scene will be replaced with rain and mud soon enough. @iamcountryside called for country roads for their theme of the week, and this is mine. ❤

Snow day, FUN day! And he's the biggest boy around

Snow day, FUN day! And he's the biggest boy around, Mr. Belvedere! To the part of the country who has snow regularly, I'm not sorry for sharing mine. It's better than 9 months of rain, that's for sure.

I am thinking the woodshed should not have been left uncompleted. This is a prime example of the homesteading life, friends. Things get started, something else becomes a priority, and then we circle back around. Call it, the homesteader's circle of life. .
On a different note....let it snow, let it snow, let it snoooooow! Our first real amount of snow this winter. Die bad bacteria, die!!!

Smoked duck breast is about to go down in T-minus

Smoked duck breast is about to go down in T-minus 4 hours. The brine is made with home juiced Honey Crisp apples, dried basil from the garden, and a few other spices. It'll smoke slow and low for a few hours, and then we eat. Don't worry, the recipe will be yours this week!
