This is first in a series of Things I Know, crap I've learned that I want to share with folks that I forget to share with folks and now I shall begin to share with folks.
- When you put product on your face, rub the excess down your neck, chest, and onto the backs of your hands. Those parts need help staying healthy (and young-looking) too.
- Yogurt and bread have been around--and homemade--for thousands and thousands of years. If someone tells you that you have to ultra-precise on how you make yogurt and bread, they are trying to sell you something. I've been making both yogurt and bread for at least 5, 6, 7? years now. It's hard to mess that stuff up. If you can boil water, you can make yogurt. Now, granted, I'm not selling my bread in a bakery. But for homemade bread, you can do it.
- The reusable bamboo paper towels we have are AWESOME. We wash them, fold them into squares to put in a basket, and just keep using them. We've only now after 5 months (?), started the second roll. But that's not because we have thrown any away, but because some have disappeared a la socks.
- Chickens are dumb. I love our chickens but sometimes, I questions have much of their walnut-sized brain actually fires up. We have 6 new girls, who are teenagers now. The 5 old ladies (i.e., biddies) are truly jerks to them and peck them if the teenagers get near the biddies. Henpecked is a real thing. One of the teens pretended she was dead as Sweetie the chicken got mad at her and pecked her. Sweetie the Chicken is actually a bitch.
- Coming home to roost is a real thing. To keep away from the pecking biddies, the teenagers have started roosting in the trees when the sun goes down. We cut down one limb and they just flew onto another one last night. We can't leave them out or an owl or raccoon will eat them. I'm leaving the teenagers in the fenced coop/run and putting the old ladies in the much larger run so that the teens will realize the coop is "home" and start roosting there. We are also clipping their wings tonight.
I must write work related things now. But every time I put product on my face and rub it on my hands, I wish someone had told me that was a good idea 20 years ago. So here you go.
