    I can not Express the smile I got when your boys come in for dinner. At the age were most.others have their nose buried in a device of some kind and an attitude a mile long. Your boys walking in with what I'm sure are self made wood swords. Brings joy to my heart

    Hey Ben,
    Instead of dragging water hoses everywhere why not install water hose reels on 4x4s in at key points of your property? Then just connect and disconnect them when you need them.
    I think,,,, 🤔 it might make life easier. Hopefully

My son is in the hospital - got burns over his back trying to get me out my bedroom window, I lost a hold of my husky Sorcha Claire ... firemen found her alive. The vet released her yesterday bringing her to the motel for me - my son is doing great and should be released soon, and my dog is getting more herself daily. A friend came over from Sackville to visit and loaned me her tablet as she knew I enjoyed my subscriptions with coffee .. it's a comfort to have a tiny piece of my oldvnormal routine ...

    Watching you drag those hoses brought it all back to me! I have 250 ft of hose, and routinely find myself dragging, dragging, dragging it hither and yon.

    This video is why I wish someone would invent "Smell-A-Vision" ! The ham looks so good.
    For those of us who can't do the smoking, here is another good fresh ham recipe-
    GRANDFATHER'S HAM - 1 large fresh (not smoked) ham, trim off as much of the fat but not all. (This part is old school) Place the ham in a box (I use an ice chest), pack as much Kosher or large granular salt as possible all over and under. (Do not use table or iodized salt.) Cover and put in the attic for 3 days. (I put mine under the kitchen table). At the end of 3 days remove from box and wash remaining salt off. Place in a large roasting pan. Pack as much brown sugar as you can on but not under the ham. Place in the oven. This receipe was written for a Woodstove, so it says cook on low flame for a long time (I am not kidding. ) Translation - as low as your oven will go, 150⁰ to 200⁰ for 4 to 6 hours. (I check for Temp of 160⁰ to 170⁰ after 4 hours). I have done this in the oven, on the grill in a Dutch oven and in a fire pit in a Dutch oven. This is our family Easter Ham each year. 🌻👍🌻

  • @HoneyHollowHomestead

    Tulip poplar is a nice straight grain. Not good for ground contact, but you can make a bunch of nice stuff out of it. As I recall, sweet gum is rather twisty sort of grain. A pain to split, don't know if it's good for lumber or not.

  • @marking-time-gardens

LOL! (Just for fun thoughts.😁) Blessings to all!🥰🌻🐛

  • @pamelaroden5513
