Retired-ish homesteader. As in, I'm retired from a full-blown life of homesteading, but still enjoy my rural life. I like dogs, plants, & people; usually in that order. And I shouldn't have to say this, but please don't be creepy. I'm not here to date.

Midstream on a #homemadedogfood recipie, and I need to acknowledge that we spent a good portion of our adult lives below the poverty line. And making a meal like this **for my dog** when many times I couldn't to it for my kids is hitting me. #dogsofbluesky

-- are the dogs going to eat better than us tonight?
They didn't, but he had a point:
Much of what I fixed yesterday is ideal, clean ingredients for humans. So yes, today I'm doing a 2nd Batch of #homemadedogfood, but also doing a round for myself.
#cookinginbulk #bulkcooking Day Two, 1st post. I remember why I don't do this anymore - because it's just me, the husband and the dogs, so I don't really have to. That said, I committed to doing some #homemadedogfood, & made 8 quarts yesterday. When my husband got home, he asked me a question --
Whew! I made 8 quarts of #homemadedogfood for the #dogsofbluesky Dually, 120 lb. #GSDofBlueSky and Bentley the 85 lb. #blackmouthcur . I don't know how far that much food will go. I froze 7 quarts and left 1 out to feed them. Still need to clean the kitchen.
#cookinginbulk no matter if it is for people or making #homemadedogfood , is always rough on the kitchen. Chaos happens before order emerges. I am reminding myself that I am not flunking adulting.

My older dog, Bentley, has begun having more joint problems. I had a few conversations with my vet, to see what else I can do.
So. It's offical: I'm going to make homemade dog food for the dogs, incorporate it slowly into their diet, and see if it helps.

Life finds a way—this tree pushed through pavement and even wrapped itself around a stop sign in L.A. #Nature doesn’t ask for permission.

DOGE abruptly cut a program called Charting My Path for Future Success—a research-based effort that helped teens with disabilities transition from high school into college, work, and independent living. Now it’s gone without explanation.

How do you keep your dreams alive
in the middle of a nightmare?

You remind yourself how many
nightmares you have endured
when your life hung by a thread
but you still held on to hope,
so this nightmare
doesn't keep you up at night.

I'll be serving as an electoral judge in my small town. I'm so pleased that almost ALL the locals choose to run INDEPENDENT as opposed to being in a party.
