I had my son's picture taken at an historic farm yesterday and they had three chickens there just like that. They were so mellow. I don't know if that's a breed trait or those chickens were just used to a lot of different people approaching them.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615854840567638084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-15422139676480080832012-10-11T21:36:11.331-07:002012-10-11T21:36:11.331-07:00I always try and share with all of gods creatures....I always try and share with all of gods creatures. I get enough for my family, share with neighbors and place a little out for animals. We did this with a stale bagel and extra peanut butter thw was goin to go bad, the birds loved working to get dried fruit, old cereal and other goodies off the bagel.Prepared Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735435995999617968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-41371446886556170342012-10-09T13:25:34.810-07:002012-10-09T13:25:34.810-07:00Plenty of pears to share with everyone and every c...Plenty of pears to share with everyone and every critter.<br />I remember your pear pealing party,<br />did you parents take a few jars back home with them?<br />Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-5881262230321031552012-10-09T11:54:49.996-07:002012-10-09T11:54:49.996-07:00When pears are mushy they can still be dehydrated....When pears are mushy they can still be dehydrated. In years gone by with many trays and lots of experimenting my family liked them the best. Well after jerky. :) I have successfully used free boxes from a local stand that were about half rotten. Just cut off the bad spots and dried the rest. They are extra sweet almost like candy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
