I am going to make Chili today so I was Pantry diving looking for pinto beans and kidney beans and ......a gallon of Cranberry juice ???? where did that come from? I grab the container... hum... could there be black beans in there? no noise. Can this really be Cranberry juice? ok, I take it to the kitchen. Not looking good.. I think it is Cranberry Juice, no open seal. Looks black! oh shoot! the date says sell by 11/03. It is SIX years old. I open it... I hear a vacuum... I smell it, smells ok. I look down into it and it is black as black, hold it up to the light it is black! but it smells good. I grab a glass, pour a little in and put it up to my lips.. bravely I tip the glass... sip. Not bad! put ice in glass and pour more into it. I am sitting here sipping on OceanSpray Cranberry Juice from Costco dated sell by 11/03.

Go to "your settings" then to "look". Right now there is Spring, Valentine, and Blue.

2-6-09 Today it is pouring. Rain is expected for the next 2-3 days. The wind is blowing very hard, but it's not cold out to snow. I had to go out in the rain and it felt good, and of course I am soaked but I am not minding. Knowing it was going to rain, I started chili yesterday and finished it up this morning. It is a great Chili day! I am cleaning kitchen cupboards (again). After Christmas the kids came for two weeks and bless their hearts, they put everything in the wrong place! I have to get organized because I am going to try to do 8 units at the college this semester. Two classes are tough sewing classes but haven't been offered at night in years! I prefer the students in the evening classes, like the one day a week of 5 hours in the class. We get so much more done in One 5 hour class then in 2 classes a week at 2.5 hours. I bet the dogs would like a nice warm meal! oh but if I bring them in, they are soaked! they have places to get out of the rain and they choose to lay in it! If I let them in I will be washing walls as they shake. Hummmmmmm maybe I will rethink that! Still, I could heat some water and pour over their dry food, sprinkle a little 'goat milk replacer' over it and I know they would love it. 2-5-09 another set of triplets born this morning. Of course nothing as exciting as Darlene's 10 puppies born today. I am so jealous... she is gonna have puppy breath! I admit it, I like puppy breath. It has been very warm these last few days, in the 80's and now the weather people are calling for rain for the next 3 days. I am trying to put in a new strawberry patch! 2-4-09 Today I went to town to pick up a few items for the week. I stopped at Micheal's to pick up another package of Red glittered Heart ornaments for my Valentine tree. I had 3 kids born, Mini Nubians, white with blue eyes, 2 bucks and 1 doe... and so it begins, kidding season. I had hoped that kidding season would have started in early January but... it is what it is. I am working on a jacket for my Grandson while making a huge pot of chili for tomorrow night's dinner. I noticed flowers on my strawberry plants, boy are they confused! They are June barring and I have a couple of flowers peeking out? My garden is alive with flowers that have been blooming since October and will continue blooming through May. I love the paper white Narcissus, as well as the yellow ones... to smell them go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_(genus) did you smell them? No? oh. And so my Blog begins.

dressing out % by age comparing a New Zealand to a Dutch http://www.msstate.edu/dept/poultry/rabslau.htm my note: Dutch The average adult Dutch Rabbit will weigh between 4 to 5 ½ pound New Zealand near 6 months of age will be close to the 9 lb. maximum. The Dutch is not a meat rabbit as we are looking for 4-1/2 to 5 pounds by 8 weeks. this means they will dress out to about 2-2-1/2 pounds.
