Repairman is gone. He had to defrost, removing everything in freezer, level, get kink out of hose...now we wait.
My second vegan fridge better be up and running now, or else. 😡

We can learn from Robin the hen, took a dirt bath under roof, Ayila, turkey hen, did not like her happy, pecked her out of there. Robin went back to bath, duck pecked her away. She then went back, Ayila peeked under and left her alone, so did the duck. Determination.

Bought 46' of 4' push in the ground blk fencing, to keep the kids of my work area. Used the 4'x6' pallet the table came on and another 4'x4 pallet as a temp day shelter after drilling and screwing roofing sheet metal on them. Turkeys can only get under tall part. 🦃😟

Texas size Blueberry Muffins.
My 6' long stainless steel commercial table arrived.
I lugged it inside myself, though the driver did offer to help.
HUGE storage under there!
Almost completed with remodling the kitchen.
Will be finished next year.

Made chocolate cup cakes w/white chocolate chips, Log Cabin drizzle (brown rice syrup, not as sweet as maple and kinder to the environment, not draining the lifeblood of the maple trees) and snow.
Need pecans for Christmas Cookies. Must go hunting for them.

My house 140 yrs old was made of rare red pine that is nearly extinct. Armadillo and opossum, used to move about at night. I no longer see them after 36 yrs. The skunks, I have never seen, but they come under house to nest twice a year, I smell a whiff, and see nest. Their ancestral home always.

Christmas cards I purchase to help the Manatees will be put out again for those who don't have any cards to send a loved one.
There are two different ones. They are free.

Funny you say that! I always put out Christmas on Thanksgiving too! Only, I made it much more subdued in the house, I cant even put my wee trees inside this year...Baklava. I put them on the porch, and got the girls out for the season. Show me your decorations! How was your Thanksgiving?

Day before Thanksgiving I always make mulled wine (Tom used to call it moldy wine). Dry red wine, Franzia is vegan, apple cider, fresh is best, slice half an apple & orange stick with cloves, for small pot. Heat on low to simmer. Cleans gut, gives energy.

Made Ambrosia with half block of vegan cream cheese, half tub of non-dairy whipped cream, four cans of very cherry mixed fruit, and a can of mandarin oranges.
Simple and cheep, not grossly sweet or heavy.

I looked in my Birds of Texas book, thought it was an American Kestrel, but he doesn't have vertical blk lines on face.
Please, tell me who this is. Thanks!

Garbage man asked me if he could buy one of my turkeys. I told him I rescue them, not sell them. He said, no wonder why they look so good. This is a blk man who's own countrymen sold them for profit, to work in fields or sell. Why would they want to do that to another species?

Two new hair salons moved into town, I asked both if they had any vegan products. They looked at me like I was from Mars. Nope. Have not had the time to remove the grey's myself. After holiday. Please note bottom left below "Scan This Code". Why can't THEY get vegan products?

I have had an animal refuge for almost 16 years. Trust me, I have plenty of critters to love on. The toms, oh, the group hugs from the toms! There are also runner ducks and a turtle. All lovely and precious but they are not my beautiful Baklava. Neighbors cats visit often, sometimes having kittens.
