It looks like the beets are sprouting today.
I’m bopping in and out of the house every 15 minutes for the next two hours, putting more soaked hickory chips on top of the charcoal in the smoker. Today is “Smoke a pork shoulder roast” at Chez Fern. It will be … Continue reading…

Now the turnips are sprouting!
Dear Gods, my back went crazy after the garden work yesterday. Along with putting cardboard down, I’d forked up and removed some grass from the already-established garden. … Continue reading…

Gardening time. Even tho’ my knee is still extremely fucked up with tendonitis (It will need another 4 to 11 weeks before I expect it to be ‘mostly better’) I worked in the garden today. Not being an idiot, I focused on … Continue reading…

Laundry started. I’m not very started, tho’, feeling very sluggish. Laundry got hung on line, but it has been so grey and cool that I had to finish it in the dryer. Did dishes. Dinner is just spaghetti and sauce – neither of which … Continue reading…

As I started blathering about yesterday, lots of us are at home with time on our hands due to lock downs due to Coronavirus. Not just at home – but due to not being able to go to ‘nonessential’ shops we can’t get more ‘supplies’ locally … and since many of us have lost our jobs, we can’t even order them online.
What’s a witch to do? … Continue reading…

It is a gorgeous day here in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. 68 degrees, sunny, light breezes. The Chubby Hubby and I went for a walk, after I meditated, got laundry on the line and started the dishwasher (yup, we’re American).
I’m going to start today’s manure hauling soon. My current plan is to … Continue reading…

I’m assuming that most of the folks reading this are not ‘essential workers’ and working full time (or more) during the pandemic. Which means y’all are at home, and have more free time on your hands. But along with that free time, you don’t have money since you’re not working. And most of y’all aren’t trying to adjust to … Continue reading…

Tis a cloudy Sun’s Day here, had some rain earlier. So no work IN the garden or hauling manure today. I’ll process the meats that the Spawn bought earlier this week – form the ground beef into 4 oz patties and freeze then bag them, cut the chicken leg quarters into thighs and drumsticks, then fry them and freeze what we don’t eat. And as always, do the never ending stream of … Continue reading…

The day started with a thunderstorm. Then just rain. And it’s still cool, cloudy, damp, and windy. A raw day. We’ve more than enough leftovers that I don’t need to cook dinner tonight. I’ve done some housecleaning already. It’s time to … Continue reading…

The Spawn is just back from taking the weekly shopping trip. Walmart had toilet paper (not that he bought any, we’re fine), he had no problem getting fresh lettuce, frozen veggies, eggs (limit 2 dozen), 2 gallons of milk, a 3 pound chub of ground beef, a 10 pound bag of chicken leg quarters. That’s probably 2 weeks worth of meat. But he forgot the … Continue reading…
