Three BIG Dogs

What does one do with three BIG dogs?

Buy lots of dog food, 50# a week.

and Oscar de la Renta

Great Pyrenees are wonderful dogs. Friendly to all people and other dogs. They will just sit still and want to be petted. They do not run like most dogs, just walk around and patrol the property boundary.  Their size, color and low bark keeps all the critters away from the goats, chickens and deer.

Winter Passing

Hello Folks!

It is slowly warming up, the days are becoming longer and brighter.
The light and chores are calling me to get outside and move.
Goats are whining and hollering wanting more alfalfa and grain instead of the nasty old hay.
Roosters are chasing the hens non-stop.


I've been canning soup beans and stews for those busy chore days spent outside
with no time left for cooking. Just open jar and heat and you'll be warm.

Jars of pinto beans and vegetable bean soup.

Five pound of dried beans makes about 15 quart jars for $5.00. That is 33 cents per jar.
What does a quart of beans cost at the store?   Remember: beans are good for your heart
and yes, beans can make you fart, but only if you do not eat them often!!

So, eat your beans and lets all see Spring!  soon :)
