• Shearing 2013

  
  — Authority:
  The ice just left Boston Lake last evening. It was freezing cold.  New snow on the ground this morning. But shearing is Finished.  And I am so grateful!

• One week to go!

  
  — Authority:
  One week to go until we finally get moved into the new place. We don’t have to be out of the rental house until the end of the month but that’ll give me lots of time to clean. We went out this morning early as the internet/cable/phone guy was coming out to hook us up. The poor guy got to experience “normal” ...

• Late Spring Pasture

  
  — Authority:
  There is not much green about yet... but the ewes love nothing better than roaming far and wide in search of nibbles. Finally got the girls out on pasture Monday (5/6/13).  That is really LATE!  But we had snow covering everything right up till then.  We still have ice on the lake and Opener is tomorrow.  Good ...

• Box Shaped People

  
  — Authority:
  I bought a new push lawn mower the other day, and like a two year old at Christmas, I had much more fun playing with the box than with the mower. Ive spent lots of time thinking about the shaped of the spindles in the backs of chairs and because I use spindles, its easy to get stuck thinking vertically. But the shape ...

• Kids and Chores on the Farm, Part One

  
  — Authority:
  When we started our small farm, we had two goals in mind. We wanted good nutrition for our family, and we wanted an opportunity to work together.

• Winter On My Mind

  
  — Authority:
  feel a little guilty writing about winter garden planting, when so many of you are not able to get in your garden yet.  But note I said a “little” guilty.  I can’t change the weather, and many of my winter harvest crops are planted right alongside or maybe a little before summer and fall crops.  If I consult ...

• The Afternoon and Evening “Office”

  
  — Authority:
  aturday while I was at this farm I was asked how many hours each day I spent on growing our food, not including cooking or the dairy aspect.  I guessed about 4 hours per day, but the topic begs for its own post really.  I have many thoughts on that very subject and the systems that make that work for us.  Until ...

  It’s still hot and dry here, the cow’s are taking it in stride though.  Some in the shade and some sunning themselves. I caught a glimpse of Mount Hood on my way to build fence. Dry enough to lay out fence in my Romeos.  Unheard of in May, usually my footwear of choice are muck boots. Lula, ...

• DIDNT EVEN REALIZE

  
  — Authority:
  Ive been very content living here in downtown Jackson at We Will Go. Ive enjoyed getting to walk to the store, easily visit with neighbors, quickly get to most places in the city, and living in a part of the metro area that makes it super easy for friends to just drop by.  To be honest, Ive not missed our farm.  ...

  “The rich man gets his ice in summer; the poor man gets his in winter.”   Almanzo Wilder I might add the rich get irrigation in the summer, and the poor hope for rain.  I’ve really been enjoying our July-like garden conditions, but nervously watching the grass.  That’s the way it goes, if it’s a rainy ...
