Good morning, Hive-ians! 😊
HAPPY NEW YEARS, everyone! It’s been a crazy couple of weeks around our homestead. The days kept flying by quicker and quicker, but we finally have water flowing again. 😊
Its gross and muddy right now, but it will be clear again soon and we’re looking forward to years of running water before we have to spend a small fortune to do another well-pump replacement and that’s a blessing. This year has already started better than the last. This is the year of blessings for us, (I’m speaking it into existence,) now we just need to find a new-to-us vehicle, stove, … oh never mind, the list is pretty long, the funds aren’t at hand right now for any of them, but we’ll replace them one by one as they become available, and until then we’ll carry on. 😊
We were blessed to find a lady selling a small Instant Vortex air fryer on Facebook and decided to test out our new-to-us appliance with Tater Tots and chicken strips. They turned out great, crispy outside yet soft in the middle, perfection. 😊
It also came with a rotisserie, so we decided to try some of our garden potatoes and a couple of chicken thighs in that for supper one day this week. They turned out fantastic as well. We’re really enjoying our Instant Vortex, how quickly it cooks everything, and the easy cleanup afterwards is pleasant surprise too. Watch out roosters, we may have to dispatch a few for some future tasty meals soon, good thing we now have a few spares…that one that came at me this morning comes to mind right now, but I’m sure there’s at least two aggressive ones that will make lovely roasted chickens. 😊

Well, that was how things have been going for us here. I hope you have all been safe and healthy and have had an amazing week! 😊 I’m grateful to God for blessing us with another week to share with you here. 😊 God bless you all. 😊 Have an awesome week everyone! 😊

Yay! You have water again. I'm glad that one is behind you now. :))
Welcome back lovely lady, thanks for visiting!
We are too! It was a long couple of weeks without it, for sure. We should be good for at least 6-8 years now. By then, our grandsons will be big enough to come out and help pull it up and that should make doing it quick and easy, so we're not worried about the next time it'll need to be done. 😊
I hope your well is always kind to you and you never have a problem with yours. 😊
God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! 😊
I am on town water here. I wanted to put in an artesian well but with my neighbor 30’ to the south and the 20 acres east of me using roundup, it’s a waste of time.
Nice, so that means you won't ever have to pull a well pump up and you probably never run out of water either, added bonus. 😊
I'm not sure what our neighbours use on their crops, never even occurred to me to give it any thought until I read your comment...they should both be far enough away that it wouldn't matter for us and we haven't had issues with our water, just the well pump itself, thankfully. 😊
