I put some water on my weeds today and moved the sprinkler around to lightly water them so they’ll grow for the chickens to eat.
I didn’t have much energy today, likely because of all the rocks I moved yesterday and those logs weren’t too light either.
Bone broth
I had cooked up some bone broth in my pressure cooker the other day from a couple of chicken’s I ate.
Here’s the pressure cooked bones of the two chicken’s I cooked. Cooking makes them softer.
I dumped them in the planter for the chickens and then stood back and watched.
They were slow getting started on them.
But it wasn’t long before they discovered them.
And then they really went for them.
In a couple of hours most of those bones were gone.
Checking loquats
I took a look at my loquat tree to see if I had any fruit on them yet and I found quite a few fruits about a half inch in diameter so they have a ways to go before they get ripe.
Carrots
When I was walking by the carrot patch I decided a couple of fresh carrots might be nice to snack on so I went into the carrot patch.
I pulled these two up and went over to wash them up and ate then while doing some chair hopping.
The sun was out and it was a nice day so I mostly just puttered in the yard and chair hopped the day away.
Thanks Bob, I do make bone broth just about the same way. I usually go 2-3 hours on high pressure. Also, put a little bit of apple cider vinegar in there….they say it draws the nutrients from the bones.
Yes, bone broth is wonderful to drink ….very nutritional . There’s nothing like the homemade stuff!
Your carrots look pretty darn tasty.

Amazing the way the chickens really went for the bones!
Can you please share the procedure you used to do them up in the pressure cooker?
High or low pressure and for how long?
Thanks! Karen
Hi Karen,
I just put the bones in the pressure cooker and cook them for a little over two hours. It’s a high setting. I put everything in there from the chicken that I don’t eat and fill lit up to the line with water. You can just boil them too for a couple hours. I usually put an onion in there too. I use the broth to eat stuff, just adding stuff to it and also drink it like coffee with some onion powder and salt and pepper or whatever.
I use chicken bones as that’s what I have but other bones work just as well as the cooking softens them up. Other bones have marrow in them which is even better as they have more goodies in them like bone marrow.

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
