Brownies Ordeal
Over Good Ground —
Authority: 123
Brownie, our Nubian Withers, has always been a little bit different. Aside from his anxiety over being "second" goat in the pack and always having to talk his way out of everything, he is the only one of four goats, we brought home as babies, that kept growing HORNS. After they came back for the second time, we ...6 hours ago -

Unexpected bounty

Authority: 418
It’s been a great wild mushroom year already. We have eaten our fill and carefully tucked some away in the freezer for the winter. So I was pleasantly surprised to see these the other day when I went to do the daily paddock shift for the cows. A new flush of mushrooms means all best laid plans are off. ...4 days ago -
The year of the bean

I’m still not done with those darn “dry” beans! Sunny days are a precious commodity this time of year. And as usual 10 things need doing right now – but everyone including me has been getting tired of skirting this hill of beans. It rained so much that the pods on these plants that were dry, were ...4 days ago -

Now is the time to start planning next year’s winter garden. We will harvest throughout the winter from crops that were started as early as February. Most of our winter veggies are planted by mid – July at the latest. So in order to do that, I need to make my garden plans now to allow for planting my winter ...6 days ago -

Sex, drugs and rock n roll (and champagne)
Heart Felt —
Authority: 119
My doctor doesnt always refer straight from the text book for health care ~ he has a fair respect for alternative remedies and suggestions. For example his suggestions to bring the baby on is plenty of "Sex, drugs and rock n roll" (his words, not mine) Sex is self explanatory, drugs he refers to plenty of raspberry ...1 week ago -
New Happenings
Chair Notes —
Authority: 109
Recently I got a counterbore from Morris Tools in Tennessee for my arm to stile joints. Boy does it make a difference. I used to first drill a "shoulder" with a large forstner type bit and then finish it with a smaller bit for the actual mortise. It wasnt impossible to line them up, but it took some doing. Once I ...1 week ago -

Yes, Im assuming that it was more than 1 as my medium sized flock of 30 has now been depleted to a small one of 10.... You ...1 week ago -
A visit to the barn

Authority: 114
On Saturday, my goats, Pete and Reggie, wanted to go for a walk. They really love their walks and are very clear with me when they think its time to go for one. At these times, they will bypass even a freshly filled hay rack to get out the door.This was definitely one of those days:So, we went for a walk:No, wait. ...1 week ago -
Lucky?
sheep dreams —
Authority: 113
Unlike my friend, Sara , I hardly ever find a four-leaf clover. Some people just seem to have a gift for seeing them. Instead of four-leaf clovers, I find feathers, feathers and more feathers. Do you suppose that could be considered lucky?1 week ago -
Naked seed pumpkin
Throwback at Trapper Creek —
Authority: 418
The jury is still out on the naked seed pumpkin in our garden. The idea of seeds you can just eat straight out of the pumpkin without shelling is intriguing, and I had grown Snack Jack before. But, with all the harvesting and preserving projects each fall, adding one more job that needed attention at that busy ...1 week ago -

No, not literally. Bubba remains fully in tact. This is a story about a road trip.When we last left Bubba the zucchini, he had just been safely buckled into his seat in the back of the car. Everyone had settled in for a long drive:Our first stop was to visit my friend, Cindy, and her donkeys.Unfortunately, Bubba ...1 week ago -

My boy, Aidan, and I had a job to do last Sunday. It was time to get hay - a lot of it.

Thats a one word description of the weather lately. This has been the one perfect week of fall weather and I have enjoyed it sooooo much!

Popping garlic for next years crop. It’s that time year, time to plant garlic and time to start bedding animals during the winter months. What do garlic beds and cattle beds have in common? I am posting about that symbiotic relationship over at Simple-Green- Frugal Co-op today. Stop on by.1 week ago -
My zucchini, Bubba

Authority: 114
Once upon a time (and even now), there is a zucchini named Bubba. Bubba is a Costata Romanesco zucchini. His life began much the same way all zucchini life begins, as a seed lovingly placed in the ground (in this case, by my friend, Marcee, last June):His plant sprouted:The plant grew hearty:...and, the next thing I ...1 week ago -
Sweet Meat
Throwback at Trapper Creek —
Authority: 418
I won’t mince my words, I think mincemeat should contain meat, or it should be called something else. Much like the famous turkey made out of tofu or soy hotdogs. What’s up with that? If you don’t want to eat meat, don’t. Just eat the tofu if that is what you want, you’re not honoring a turkey, ...1 week ago -

Ive taken many wonderful pictures here at the farm. Many have that wow factor, for me anyway. But when someone else comes to visit and they take "wow" pictures, its a different experience than looking at your own. That person chose the subjects, sought them out, or they sought each other out for their own personal ...1 week ago
