I have canned 20 qts. of beans,(so far)24 pints of carrots, a measly 5 pts. of peas(ummm), and waiting on tomatoes!. Still, I have never raised chickens, or been around the raising of chickens....maybe next year I'll be asking for help with a jersey cow!!!!!<br />Love the book!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-56286070634077542142011-06-23T12:30:44.057-07:002011-06-23T12:30:44.057-07:00Aw thanks, Anon 11:16.

My camera has to be a simple point-and-shoot or I lose interest, LOL.<br /><br />- PatricePatrice Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06012022335047974670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-33299304452221463302011-06-23T11:16:43.580-07:002011-06-23T11:16:43.580-07:00I'm a bituva "shutterbug" myself, de...I'm a bituva "shutterbug" myself, dear Patrice. I've been snapping pix for many years, even had a few used in our local newspapers. You do an excellent job! Not too much sky shows (unless it's a pic of the clouds and so forth) and you center the subjects well. You take interesting pix that are humorous, thoughtful and downright gorgeous. I'd say you could add "photographer" to your list of accomplishments, along with successful home businesswoman, columnist, author, farmer, teacher and homemaker!!! No doubt in my mind that you are one of those who can do ANYTHING you set your mind and heart to!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-15280960976472016882011-06-23T11:01:05.940-07:002011-06-23T11:01:05.940-07:00Woo hoo!

You have NO idea how much these wonderful 'Random Pics' have helped me prepare to face another 12 hour day and then come home to smoke and possible evacuation. Today more than ever, THANKS for what you do. <br /><br />ALSO: I was one of the bomb-day buyers who got the sold-out shipping dates. Got the notice yesterday that my order has shipped, so others can expect the same.Gretchenhttp://monsoonmatriarch.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-63730606029564080972011-06-23T05:09:51.174-07:002011-06-23T05:09:51.174-07:00I really enjoy your Random Pix posts.
