• One way to a llamas heart

  
  On the way to Critter Farm... — Authority: 121
  I may have mentioned that the three rescue llamas I took in three weeks ago, Kai, Dolly and Toni, are a bit, er, standoffish. Ive spent more time than I care to admit watching them stalk away: Both Chester and I have been a bit surprised by the lack of warmth and friendliness these three have shown us. Its hard ...

• Thanksgiving stats

  
  Misadventures of the Monster Farmer-Librarian — Authority: 123
  People always ask how much food/what kind of food we make, so here are the Thanksgiving stats: 12 turkeys, which equaled roughly 108 pounds of meat 176 dinner rolls (made by our baking/pastry program) 50 lbs mashed potatoes 40 lbs Farm Brussels sprouts 40 lbs Farm squash (butternut) 224 cups (I estimate this ...

• Nothing much to say

  
  Throwback at Trapper Creek — Authority: 418
  The weather has been incredible for this time of year – we are soaking it up.  Which means I haven’t completed my canning goal, or dried up the cow.  I’ll just wait for a rainy day, in Western Oregon you don’t usually have to wait too long for that. Here’s our day through the camera lens. ...

• Dead wood

  
  Throwback at Trapper Creek — Authority: 418
  We heat with wood.  So a steady supply is required, and that means we spend some time with cutting, splitting or moving wood each week or so.  If we have pleasant weather, we make wood.   Stuff happens, trees die.  I look for dead or dying trees and make a note of their location for Hangdog.  I spied several the ...

• In recovery

  
  sheep dreams — Authority: 115
  After a long holiday weekend, I think all of us here at sheep dreams are still in recovery mode. The last of the turkey was made into turkey hash over the weekend and the cranberry relish dish is finally empty. Im not sad to see it all go. I feel as though I should go on some kind of cleansing fast for a week or two! ...

• Rural Alta, Modern Life

  
  My Little Norway — Authority: 134
  Alta is a country town of farmers and fishermen.  Up until recently Alta has had three small town centres to service the small communities of each side of Komsa mountain.  Now a new shopping mall with 80 stores has arrived (in a town of only 17,000) and some wonder if it will survive in...

• Kitchen sink chili

  
  Throwback at Trapper Creek — Authority: 418
  I wasn’t kidding when I said this was Kitchen Sink Chili – you never know what will be in it.  For sure beans and your typical Tex-Mex seasonings but sometimes it will contain meat or extra vegetables.  I feign ignorance of proper chili making since I live a ways North. I do soak my beans following Nourishing ...

• We Were Going to Use a LIVE Tree, But I think It Got Swine Flu...

  
  Living the Good Life — Authority: 118
  This is a tree in the pasture which faces the main road by our house. Ive stared at this tree for years thinking that it looked ALIVE. When I happened upon some plaster eyes, I knew EXACTLY what to do with them. You might have to click on the picture to get a better look. Looks like a sick tree, doesnt ...

• Checking the mail box

  
  Heart Felt — Authority: 413
  We live down a long drive. Its a nice and interesting walk down to the end where Charlie enjoys checking the mail box. We always find interesting things on the way. The chickens thought they might like to come too. Sadie cant resist stopping to pick some flowers on the way. Badger the dog ...

• Reciprocal land love

  
  Apifera Farm: where animals,art and lavender collide — Authority: 125
  Huck and I have begun a new ritual. Climbing up the side acreage to view our land from the high point. It is one of my favorite parts of our property, and few people have experienced it. Part is covered in Savannah Oak where I dream of building a small writing hut where I could spend a nite in the thicket, perhaps ...

• Not stuffed, but thankful anyway

  
  Throwback at Trapper Creek — Authority: 418
  Our Thanksgiving preparations were small.  A local menu for sure, pork roast with fresh apple sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy and apple pie.  None of us particularly care for leftovers unless it is stuffing and pie, so that was the menu plan.  We snacked on veggies during the day and carbed out on pie ...

• Nonverbal communication

  
  On the way to Critter Farm... — Authority: 121
  Chester, my donkey, is a very friendly guy. He is also extremely persistent. He has spent the last three weeks trying to convince three very haughty llamas that he should be their new friend. While he has made some progress, it has been pretty slow going. The llamas are not quick to add a new member to their tight ...

• Moving forward...

  
  Lyric Flight — Authority: 127
  Finally, it feels like "things are happening" again. Theyve BEEN happening, but it was all in the areas of planning, meeting people, negotiating.Today I formally ordered my half pig from Crane Dance Farm, with decisions on how it should be cut/smoked/etc. It is an interesting process - somewhere, in the chaos of ...

• Kick Me

  
  Raised By Wolves — Authority: 407
  The turkeys have been bullying Sophia. Shes the largest dog here. Shes the only one who has ever seriously injured another animal. (Forgot about all those murdered groundhogs for a minute there ...) Her people routinely take down bad guys, both for fun and for real. Yet the birds see a giant "Kick Me" sign ...

• Photo Phriday: Whew -- that was close

  
  Raised By Wolves — Authority: 407
  The turkeys are all still with us. Proof: Dale thrives. She is so fat she cannot cluck (she grunts) and I periodically have to extract her when she gets stuck in a regular-sized nest box. As the slowest hen, she became a "favorite" of the adolescent former cross-dressing, gang-raping roosters. Roosters dont ...

  Nature's Harmony Farm Blog — Authority: 112
  So here comes the quote of the day.  While Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, yesterday I confessed to Liz that I wish it wasnt coming this year. Ive been too busy working getting the dairy/cheese room ready, clearing land, turkey processing, CSA deliveries, etc., and just didnt want to have to stop ...

• The magical fruit

  
  Throwback at Trapper Creek — Authority: 418
  I promise this will be the final word on this years dry bean harvest.  The final threshing of the beans were on my canning/preserving list, although I didn’t mention it.  I like to add things to my list that I can cross off – that way I think I have accomplished something! A sunny day in late November was my ...

• My New Christmas Tree

  
  The Poor Farm — Authority: 423
  The wind was just plain howling yesterday, and this is a free mobile artistic statements I managed to capture on my "rookie rod." Dont laugh, people actually paint these things white or silver, and decorate them just like a Christmas tree. Im sure somewhere there is a kitschy shop with those very items for sale - ...
