Rendering Lard

September 16, 2023

I've been out of good, home rendered lard for a long time. I was out of it before we left Texas. There was a meat processing place not too far from us and I could get it there but I had never checked the local places here. Back in June, we were in a meat processing place here and I asked about pork fat and they explained that they can only sell fat from an "inspected" pig and the inspector comes ...

The Next Cross Stitch Project

September 15, 2023

Yesterday ended another five day stitching cycle. Is cycle the right word? I start working on a project on the 1st of the month, work on it 5 days, start another one on the 6th, work on it 5 days, . . you get the picture. I keep thinking any day now I'll have more stitching time. This week I haven't been canning so much but we were gone a good chunk of yesterday. We were going to go to an Amish ...

Grandparents’ Day

September 14, 2023

Today was Grandparents' Day at Addie's school. I will never complain about being 45 minutes from her but . . we had to get up at 4:45 this morning to do the things we had to do here (Oscar, Rita, Boots, stop by a friend's and take care of her cat) and get to Chad's by 7:00 to meet Nicole, then get Addie to school on time. I wouldn't miss going to Grandparents' Day unless there was absolutely no ...

This Dog!

September 13, 2023

Was it just this morning that I wrote that he's growing up and maybe calming down? I take that bake. You may remember that we have a sofa downstairs and it isn't against a wall. When Oscar first started getting up on the back of the sofa, we stacked boxes and storage ottomans on the sofa so he couldn't get up on the sofa and then jump onto the back. Later when I had hope that he was calming ...

Sleepy Pup

September 13, 2023

We're right on the verge of it being three months til Oscar turns 2. Some days, I look at him and fear that he's going to be one of those dogs that never calms down. Some days I look at him and think . . six months ago, he would not have done this. Not that long ago, he didn't calm down at all. Right up til time for him to go to bed, he was running around like a crazy dog, steeling floss, trying ...

Update on Funny Okra

September 12, 2023

We've given up on trying to harvest the big okra pods. They're so far up that Vince can barely reach them with his tallest ladder. No need breaking his need over a pod of okra. You can see how tall that one stalk is there. It's crazy. Then there's the funny one with the weird flowers. I had previously shown the cluster of buds. I think it's growing and the flower buds are ...
