My Favorite Activity | Chickens in the Road

Apr

Moving cows outside fencing is my favorite farm activity.

Often, I do it by myself, such as for milking when Glory Bee is in the field across the road. Other times, I wait till I can get some help. It depends on the situation. Yesterday evening, I moved the cows about 100 yards outside fencing to get them to a different field (across the road). Because it’s spring and the grass outside fencing is so enticing, I waited until my hired hands were here so they could help me herd. It was still a challenge. I always take charge of Glory Bee, on the lead, because we’re so close, tight, bestest friends, you know.

And in short order, the girls were successfully moved!

They were quite pleased once they got there. And I was, too! (Dumplin was the biggest obstacle this time. But she came after mama eventually.)

In western Wisconsin, we are still waiting for ANY sign of spring. Seeing the emerald green of your grass and the flowering trees gives me hope! Thanks for posting such beautiful pictures.

What a lovely place for them to dine–a 5 star pasture.

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

This is an excellent recipe, and I made these this evening. Its not mentioned here explicitly, but I heated my oil to about 325 deg F before adding the hush puppies. I then fried them about 2 minutes before flipping them over for another 2 minutes until they were a proper brown color. The crispiness of these hush puppies are unmatched and I would recommend this recipe to anyone.

I legitimately just registered for this page just so I could leave a comment! So happy to find this recipe. My father just handed over his grandmother’s hand written recipe, missing crucial instructions, for her burnt sugar cake for me to try to bake for him. I also cruised through Pinterest to see if I could find one similar in order to get a better idea of how to do it. Yours is the first out of many that called for separating the eggs and folding in the beaten whites and also the specific use of the same syrup pan to make the icing!. I will use my great grandma’s measurements and your instructions. Thanks so much - really excited to try it out now!.

Reading this post makes my mouth water.This was a family favorite when my grandmother was alive. The rule in her kitchen was the sugar needs to smoke-- so yes, we literally burn it... and keep a close eye on it. I'm inspired to include this in our staff baking contest tomorrow. Off to the kitchen!!
