MIL has a bleed on the brain. Nurse seems to think she is aware of what is going on. CT scan this morning is no worse than when they ran one last night. I don’t get realtime updates so this could be different. #family #familyfirst #nostr #grownostr #reallife

Let me try that again: Mother-in-law fell last night. BIL who lives across the road called ambulance. They took her in for stitches. Mr. Holstein just texted that she was admitted and they are monitoring brain bleed. I asked, "She has one or they are watching for one?" He said he didn't know. The BIL is weak at sharing information and making decisions. Mr. Holstein doesn't always ask good questions. Dad's follow-up from spine surgery is at 10:30. What a day and it's just 7:15 #family #familyfirst #nostr #grownosr #parents

Good morning all y’all! It is cold out this morning! Right now it’s 22°F/-5.6°C on the Holstein House front porch, in my part of Kanawha County, West Virginia, USA! Allergy shots, fill Dad’s propane, and errands will take up most of this day! #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #weather #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y’all! It’s 31°F/0°C out on the Holstein House front porch this morning. I should have already gotten out my winter neck gaiters to protect my lungs. Oops. December is here. Do you have special plans for this month? #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #weather #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good chilly Sunday morning all y’all! Snowy and cold today, starting off at 36°F/2.2°C on the Holstein House front porch, in my part of Kanawha County, West Virginia, USA! Cleaning up after a long weekend. Obligatory snow picture follows! #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #weather #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y'all! It's COLD this morning! LOL 36*F on the front porch. Spent yesterday pressure canning beef, "fixing" the pantry, and associated stuff. Dad has lab work this morning then hopefully back to processing. I might make some jerkey. If you make jerkey, what is your favorite recipe?

Hey #asknoster , do you have experience cooking, eating Jerusalem Artichoke? I think there are some at the farthest back part of my property. Likely planted by the previous owner. I know I should wait till after frost to harvest. I read that winter savory herb will help with the gassy properties. Other than that I have no clue. Would love your wisdom. #grownostr #homestead #garden

Well, here is something both irritating and potentially exciting. Haven't heard back on the vendor app for the local homesteading conference so I called the Conservation District office. The only app was never received (imagine that). But, after a 30 minute chat the contact person is going to see if she can still get me in to the sold-out Joe Saletin meet-n-greet, try to get the application approved because they don't have many vendors, AND might - MIGHT - see if there is a vacant time slot for me to speak on micro homesteading. THEN would I be willing to work with them to provide workshops in our area of the county. I might live to regret this. LOL

Picked up the nee virls yesterday evening. It was dark when we got home. I don’t like bringing critters in after dark but could help it. #holsteinhouse #wv #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #foodstr #bnbstr
