Ok. So apparently I didn’t learn my lesson 3 years ago 😆

Who wore it better?

Worked all day on the homestead and at a local farm only to come home to this comment.

This video was 3 years ago and I haven’t worn this outfit again 🤣

We have corn! 🌽

Or the start of corn, that is. We are surrounded by corn fields here and they are not usually the sweet, tasty varieties. So I really don’t want the field corn pollinating my heirloom sweet corn. It’s very windy here and easier to pollinate from further distances. It can affect taste and the seeds to save for next year.

To avoid this, I wait to plant my corn. And trust me, this batch is planted so far from the time when the farmers planted this year that there is no chance they cross pollinated 😆. They are SAFE.

📣 breaking news!
Stew the roo went viral.

But what some noticed and others didn’t was that Stew was just a paid actor!

Did I lie? No! That really is what we do with aggressive roosters! And we did process a few roosters that day.

Why wasn’t I holding an actual aggressive roo? Well, I’d like to keep the eyeballs I already have. The day before, one of the roos jumped up and bit me! They are no joke. All my roosters all get the same names. Stew or roo! So if you hear me saying that name, it could be any of them!

Sorry, Stew, you have to remain dead to continue the illusion! And if you are reading this and have no idea what this is about, check out my pinned reel!

I was told I was too happy that I ate my rooster and I should be more sad.

So we made a chicken memorial on our family picture wall. Now he can live on forever….in our hearts and stomachs.

Maybe, just maybe the reason so many of us feel called to learn some of the old ways is so we can continue to pass the knowledge down.

Learn how to can, make soap, crochet, bake bread, cook from scratch & raise livestock.

Keep learning if you are called to do it!

I shared earlier today in my Sunday chat video that I knew nothing starting out 12 years ago.

A misconception I had was that white eggs were only white because they are bleached white 🤣. Talk about embarrassment asking about that at the famers market!

No shame from me, but I’d love to know what you had incorrect knowledge of and what you learned was the real thing. ⬇️
