Come & Cut it...

 Come & Cut it...

Rosie is making pot-roast for my birthday, my all-time fave! OH, SHE ALSO MADE AN AMAZING CHOCOLATE CAKE!

We got about an inch of snow so far Wednesday morning, it's supposed to start again later today, 1-3 predicted. We got a solid 2" then rain...

Shhh Farming, LOL


We're getting a ton of rain Friday, wet, wet, wet... The yard is a mud pit again.

It was Rose's Birthday!

We've got 3-6" or 6-10" inches of snow, they're not sure yet... on the way Sunday afternoon into Monday night, so far it's been a pretty uneventful winter snow wise here.  We ended up with 9" of heavy, heavy wet snow.

Windy day...


Rose had taken the decorations off the tree weeks ago, we got it hauled down to the back room of the barn finally last Sunday.  While we were down there I grabbed the trim molding pieces I'd found to finish the bathroom trim up.

We got a good 8 or so inches of heavy wet snow, so far Monday AM we still have power.  The pine boughs are hanging low, and all of the birches are hanging to the ground, it's amazing they come back from that.



Jarrod plowed our front yard out, it was a big help!

We went out for Chinese food with Crystal, Jarrod, James and Jason, food was great, James and Jarrod made a Pineapple Upside Down cake too...

Zeb went to the vet again yesterday, he has a little bit of Hip Displasia, and some soft tissue injury most likely from sparring with Winston.

Congrats to you too for making it to February! 2024 is gonna be crazy!

Rose saw 5 Bluebirds the other day, and there's a flock of 5 big crows coming into the deer yard cleaning up what the deer didn't.

The Sunrise color faded fast from pink to orange



I love old places... Crazy stuff we did as kids... Remembering...

As a kid walking to downtown with a couple of neighbors in Billerica MA back in the late 60s a group of us went into a long abandoned house, it was quite dilapidated and falling in, most of the second floor had partially collapsed, we climbed the floor that was still clinging to one wall up to the second story best we could, I found an old door that has an ornate skeleton key lockset, removing it, we carefully climbed back down. I had that lockset for years, don't remember what happened to it.

The old chicken barns of Pepperell, on the way to/from sucker brook fishing we'd visit the huge barns full of old chicken rearing equipment, brooders, feeders, laying boxes, etc, lot's of cool stuff in those old barns slowly being consumed by nature, many of the barns roofs had collapsed making it difficult to move through them.

The old mill by the stream Sucker Brook, we'd see it as we fished our way down the stream there were enormous steam boilers long cold and rusting, and gears, huge steel gears all the way down the side of the creek.  The gears were simply too heavy to move.

The old sawmill at Kimball's the ice cream place spoke to me, I could almost hear the saws still turning and sawdust flying last time we were there.  I'd love to set one of these mills up.  Maybe in my retirement~

THAT IS ALL!






 

 

 

 

 



 

 

Homelessness In The U.S. Is Up 48 Percent Since 2015, And Americans Are Being Laid Off In Droves…

The Supreme Court ruled that in response to this mass foreign invasion…we the people…and the states of the United States…have no say.

This is the same Supreme Court…and the same two conservative justices…who believe Big Brother has the right to lockdown its own citizens, close their businesses, and restrict their civil rights…and use government mandates to force a deadly, untested, experimental vaccine that clearly violates the Nuremberg Code into our bodies…but we have no right to stop a foreign invasion from destroying our lives and our country.

Does any of this make sense to you? That ANYONE could vote for this? Let alone two conservative justices? Something is very wrong.  





Joe Biden Announces Border Is Broken After He Broke It – Says He Can Fix It When He Hasn’t – Asks for Authority Which He Already Has – Wants You to Believe He Will Take Action When We All Know He Won’t 

In December a record 302,034 walked across the border into the United States. More migrants crossed into the US in one month than the total population of several prominent US cities like Buffalo, St. Louis, and Greensboro, North Carolina – IN ONE MONTH!

‘We the People’ Convoy Gains Momentum Despite Facebook Censorship – News of Border Convoy Spreads on Twitter-X – Over 10,000 are Expected to Join

Greg Abbott has essentially, officially declared the US Supreme Court and Federal authority null and void, on grounds Texas is being 'invaded.' Shit's about to get insane.

Governor Abbot is Correct
Biden is REFUSING to execute the law passed by Congress and has simply embarked on an agenda that WHATEVER Trump did, he has to reverse regardless of the consequences. For a president to REFUSE to execute the law, NO statutory or constitutional authority allows him to do so. Not only is the Governor correct, but this illustrates why the United States cannot stand as a union, for once again, the government usurps all authority to a central government as did Stalin in Russia, and it is only a matter of time before the government to collapse. That is the verdict throughout history – no dictatorial central government has ever survived long-term.
 
The Obama administration detained 82% of illegal aliens. How do we go from detaining 82% to releasing 85%? It only happens if this is by design.” —House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)

Illegals can walk across the border, beat up cops in NYC and be released without bail. This is a national embarrassment.” —Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

Joe Biden is in violation of federal law that already exists. [H]e is not living up to his duty to deny illegal entry across the border. Instead, he’s aiding that illegal entry.” —Texas Governor Greg Abbott

The Top Ten...

What explains legal immigration being so bureaucratically stringent for a foreign national to enter the country?  This is exceptionally true for a person -- with a sponsor no less -- applying legally with verifiable identity, documented medical records, certifiable education, provable means of support, and justifiable reason for entry.

The greatest con in American history is that politicians have convinced us that “other” Americans are the enemy when in fact politicians are the enemy.  

Woke Left Are OUTRAGED That Trump Is Trying To STOP Fascist Takeover Of US While SCREAMING FASCISM!

There is a tremendous disconnect between the economic numbers that the government is giving us and what most Americans are personally experiencing on a daily basis.  The government says that inflation is low, but the cost of living just continues to spiral out of control.  The government says that unemployment is low, but Challenger, Gray & Christmas says that the number of layoffs in the U.S. was up 98 percent last year.  The government says that the economic outlook for 2024 is positive, but companies all over America are acting as if extremely hard times are ahead.  So who are we supposed to believe?  Personally, I trust numbers that come from private sources far more than numbers that come from government sources. 

This Year in Creative Fiction — 'The Bidenomics Success Story'

Two Americas: One For U.S. Citizens Is Heavily Regulated And Monitored, The Other For Illegals Is Free Of Mandates, Regulations And Bureaucratic Harassment

26 states now side with Texas in border dispute with Biden, say the president is leaving country ‘vulnerable’ to illegal immigration.

REPORT: The Biden Administration Has Spent $20 Billion on ‘Refugee’ Resettlement in Just Two Years

We've less than eleven months, and if nothing else goes wrong, Trump, as the newly (re-)elected president, will inherit no less than three wars, a flailing economy, a 34-trillion-dollar federal deficit, high crime rates across the country, a broken Southern border that has spilled at least nine million new people into the country without being vetted, and a Deep State that doesn’t want him to succeed.

The Deep State are the people who have permanent government jobs, and who would never allow an elected executive to come in and dictate their careers.  And it is the largesse of the Deep State that has made our government inefficient; it is why the taxpayers are 33 trillion dollars in debt, a debt that will eventually destroy the U.S. economy.  Trump needs to bring a machete.

It seems that the Donald did the same thing that every losing Democrat since Al Gore has done: he questioned the vote-counting.  That’s considered “protecting our democracy” when a Democrat does it, but according to Fani, it’s criminal conspiracy when a Republican does it.

If you cannot talk about safety and security at home with a porous Southern Border, the Middle East is on fire on multiple fronts, and Zelenskyy comes to Washington monthly to refill his piggy bank. That bank is one-of-a-kind with the tagline: 10% of your tax dollars that go to Ukraine is sent to “The Big Guy.” They cannot talk about Bidenomics because everyone knows it is not working. They cannot speak about Fentanyl as we are still losing 100,000 lives per year to drug poisoning. They cannot claim an improved infrastructure as commercial passenger jets are catching fire and losing doors in mid-flight. No, there is nothing about Biden’s policy that this Administration can point to as a success, so they will fall back on a proven winner to get votes: abortion. Until every state offers free abortions to every person with a uterus up until the time of delivery, they will keep using abortion as a campaign slogan and blame the Republicans for putting every woman’s life in jeopardy. It is a horrid purpose and a gross hyperbole, but it works for Democrats.

As our sanctuary-country sinks even further under the weight of millions of illegal immigrants, the President and his fellow Democrats believe the solution is to give them work permits so they can “support themselves.”

Where is their concern for the citizens whose jobs these illegal immigrants will take? Have they never heard of the concept of opportunity cost? Every job they take is a job that won’t be available to legal citizens. That’s not a political philosophy but a cold hard fact.

What is even worse is the fact that this army of illegal immigrants is certain to depress working folk’s hourly wages for generations to come.

You will often hear it said they are only taking jobs Americans won’t do. That is a lie. The truth is Americans won’t do some of those jobs for the wages being offered. So, rather than allowing the marketplace to raise the wages being offered, their revolting solution is to import millions of low-skilled illegals in a planned strategy to keep working people’s wages low, forever.

An astonishing 77% of the Elites – including almost 90% of the Elites who graduated from the top universities – favor rationing of energy, gas, and meat to combat climate change.”  This is starkly at odds with the will of all Americans, 63% of whom oppose this policy. It is shameful and embarrassing that so many “elite” Americans have drunk the Kool-Aid -- and bent the knee at the altar of progressivism. These are folks that would be more at home attending the World Economic Forum in Davos than a country music concert in Des Moines. And would then fly back to the U.S. to snob the rest of us and bitch about the carbon footprints of lawnmowers and farmers.
