MIL had a better day yesterday. She seemed to know the guys but was having conversations from over 25 years ago. Sitter still has to be with her all the time. She was less aggressive. This week should determine what happens next. Dad has appointments today and long term guest returns. ‘Tis the season. #family #nostr #grownostr #Alzheimers

Annnnddd… now it’s Christmas time.

This is my first hawks sighting of autumn. Now, i see grown hawk circling all the time, but it’s usually the spring/autumn migrating ones that stop in the trees here. They hang out a few days then move along. All the more reason to be with the girls when they free range. #hawk #chicken #duck #holsteinhouse #wv #travel #bnb

An easy breakfast casserole recipe. https://zap.cooking/recipe/naddr1qq5xyun9v94kvctnwskkxctnwdjhymmvv5khw6t5dqkhxct4wdskwefdv9hxgtt9vansygqchkmxa23rc50r0z9yrml59najx7qyzhz0dvfwtf3lzs2c9667t5psgqqqw4rsd2p7et

Good morning all y’all! Great Sunday morning shaping up. Headed off to chill soon. Random: Raccoon don’t like lemon, and I think I read they don’t like clove. So, wold hanging clove studded lemons near the coop keep them away? #raccoon #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #foodstr #bnbstr #coffeechain

Had some needed rain over the past 24 hours. Been two weeks without, combined with above average highs all summer and WV USA is in drought. #nostr #grownostr #wv #usa #drought #rainbow

Good morning all y’all! Radar shows showers but nothing hitting the ground yet. Sidewalk is still dry. #drought #rain #holsteinhouse #wv #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #foodstr #bnbstr

Good morning #coffeechain. I don’t swing by this # often enough. #gm

Oh gosh am I exhausted. I have all the major work done so the critters can stay in. I have some fine tuning, and tidying to do but that has to wait till Sunday. The Homesteading-ish conf is tomorrow and Saturday. #holsteinhouse #wv #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr

Good morning all y’all! Took out the pumpkin. Rearranging the space to set the full run up. Gonna be a tight squeeze! LOL #garden #food #prep #homecanning #holsteinhouse #wv #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #foodstr #bnbstr

Hey #asknoster , do you have experience cooking, eating Jerusalem Artichoke? I think there are some at the farthest back part of my property. Likely planted by the previous owner. I know I should wait till after frost to harvest. I read that winter savory herb will help with the gassy properties. Other than that I have no clue. Would love your wisdom. #grownostr #homestead #garden

Wait. Is it early September or January on the Holstein House front porch? #holsteinhouse #wv #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #foodstr #bnbstr

Boo! Turned down this year. Oh well nothing ventured right? 😁 View quoted note →

Gah! I am tired. Had my own appointment this morning at 8:45. Then to the bank. Then to Kanawha City to get dad’s prescription. Then to Trivillians when the other pharmacy didn’t have it. Waited there an hour. Then home to let Betty and Bob out , and get my hair clippers. Then over dad’s to drop off his medicine, do his INR test, then cut his hair. Now I am home and too pooped to pop, but have to fix supper and last minute guest prep. We have the traveler from Germany staying the weekend #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

This makes three monster tomatoes. Others are large, maybe as big or bigger than a beefsteak, but long not round. #food #tomato #garden #holsteinhouse #wv #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #foodstr #bnbstr

Roasted tomato and squash. Mmm! #food #tomato #squash #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #nostr #grownostr #foodstr #garden

It’s tomato Tuesday. LOL Only because there wasn’t anything else ready. Probably making tomato pie today. Mr. Holstein said he enjoyed the last one. #nostr #garden #grownostr #bnbstr #holsteinhouse #wv #travel #foodstr #bnb #gm #pv 🤙
