Winter decided to bring more snow & high winds. It is powdery, so the leaf blower worked on the back deck-driveway next. Later this week & next high temps are forecasted for the low 40's. Hoping some of this snow melts. Planting season may just get a later start this year. https://t.co/6pWBXZ4iC1

In Texas it’s best to paint semi treated wood to lengthen its life. Besides pink is always prettier.💕

Also leveling and putting up on blocks before you fill it.

Once you start filling it https://t.co/SNfM1mCbMn

Whipped tallow balm. Tallow, jojoba oil, apricot oil, essential oil. Can't wait to use it!! https://t.co/YZh4BvObQ3

Not only did we get a path to the cold frames cleared, Rick got the potato growing box cleared as well. We also did a more specific search for our planting zone & found out we are actually in Zone 7B, not 7A. This is a game-changer, and will dictate the size of the new greenhouse https://t.co/029xf2YedF

We still have plenty of snow on the ground. This week's forecasted hihh temps are supposed to be in the 30's. Hoping Rick can get a pathway cleared to the cold frames. Today, however, is going to be an easy day of working on a quilt for mynfirst ever fair entry. https://t.co/51ZHgvN3L7

Homemade dog food. Have you ever peeled a cow tounge? 🤮 my husband and daughter were brave enough to try it. Said it tasted like steak. Beef liver heart and tounge spinach, beets, carrots, sweet potato, turmeric and wild rice. Pressure canned 90 min https://t.co/QBS2SpCJay

First time making tallow beeswax candles. This was a homeschool project. We learned soap dye doesn't dissolve well in the wax. https://t.co/5abDHxh90b

Doing the pantry challenge this month. Sloppy Joe's with sprouts (didn't have cabbage for Cole slaw) on homemade hamburger buns with twice baked potatoes that I made and vacuum sealed for the freezer last summer. https://t.co/6WgCxF2nRC

I rendered beef fat yesterday and got 2 big disks. Tried my hand at making tallow shampoo and body wash bars. I had calendula infused olive oil from a few years ago and it gave a nice light orange color to it. Hopefully it turns out! https://t.co/6rcjA3ekon

First time ever making a dutch baby. Wow! It was so easy, this will be replacing making pancakes from now on! https://t.co/sHKQ1kpaa9

We've been busy. All wood from oak branch that fell. Needs leveling & some pea gravel added to fill in & it is done. Stone laying around on property, slate was leftover from the old landing. Sweet Potato box will get built next to it. Greenhouse & screen room are going under roof https://t.co/66Jt4YeIDi

Finished the 6-pack cooler tofat. Then turned one of Rick's ratty shirts into a market bag. https://t.co/JHG3crHQO0
