Getting ready for s-n-o-w

It’s that time of year, notifications have come up in our feeds the last couple days…. the snow, the wind, the power outages.

November 2018

This year we have not had any snow to speak of yet the odd flurry, but it is coming….. perhaps tonight or tomorrow.

One of our fall chores is to get the snow blower back on the tractor. We need to make sure she is well oiled and greased and that we have extra shear pins and bolts extra diesel fuel etc.

This year the other half needs to learn how to use the snowblower just incase.

But for now we got the blower attached, oiled, working and ready for whatever winter has instore for us.

Of course the manager in charge was watching from a distance making sure Rusty gets it all done right.

My famous honey garlic wings

So you want a tasty homemade treat for dinner?

Try my famous honey garlic wings…. our wings are like jumbo wings of course that’s because we raise our own chickens.

I like to broil the wings in the oven about 15 mins per side depending on the size of your wings. They get nice and crispy.

You can serve them up with ranch, blue cheese or your favorite dippy sauce and or carrot and celery sticks

Yummy. I make the honey garlic sauce very easily by adding all the ingredients in microwave safe dish for about 2 minutes(til its boiling).

When the wings are cooked I pour the sauce over them toss them up and serve them out

Enjoy….. Vanessa

Barney….. chief critter catcher

Sorry, we did not post anything til now…. had a busy couple days with a sick kitty. He wasn’t well 2 days ago, started to improve yesterday a bit. Had some more serious symptoms today so he went to the walk in kitty hospital. (Atlantic Vet College) the bestest doctors β™‘

He has some inflammation and pain so he on some meds for the next couple days. He had the nods on the way home and is now finally having a really good sleep. You can see the meds are taking away the pain and stress and letting him have a great sleep.

We don’t know exactly what he got into but something….. he has a heart murmur which makes things he goes through a little more stressful and serious for him… but he is one of our best critter catchers…

Wordless Wednesday – November 3rd

This could have been so very bad if was warmer outside today….. I was moving my compost pile when I disturbed a rather large hornet nest….

Fairly large hornet nest

They were not happy after I uprooted the hive… thank goodness for wasp and hornet spray…. and a Big thank you to God that today was cold. We might have been taking pictures of the inside of an ambulance or hospital room. 🐝 🐝🐝
