**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I’ve already mentioned (in a previous post) about our poor tractor crapping out…while trying to get ready for the re-population of our bee hives….. …(*****(Honey Bee Arrival)*****)… My daughter thought it was because of contaminated diesel fuel….. Whatever it was…it made the old girl (the tractor not my daughter) spew white smoke….. …..then black smoke…and then sputter out and die….. …..without any hope of resurrection….. Unbeknownst to me…(while in the throes of this…

It’s begun….. “They” say it should be more active than last year…..(?)….. …..(sigh)….. “They” know what they’re talking about….. ***2022 Hurricane Predictions by NOAA*** Apparently the on-going (very active) La Niña is responsible for the up-tick in storms….. She’s just dancing away out there stirring up meteorological trends and tendencies….. …..those tendencies could have their tendencies right over us….. …..damn…… …..(sigh)….. …..(SIGH)….. …..(DOUBLE SIGH)……..

*******Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel******* Remember those silly hens who insisted on laying and setting in one of the nooks on top of “Ole Sparky”? …..it didn’t turn out well….. …..(we knew ahead of time it wouldn’t)….. Well…..Otto’s happy…..(at least)….. So here’s the re-cap….. Stupid Hen #1 discovered an inappropriate place to start laying eggs….. …..it was on top of our generator (who we fondly call “Ole Sparky)….. …..the little alcove that she chose…

Hens can be single-minded….. …..with their tiny…..tiny heads….. …..I don’t think there’s a lot going on in there to begin with….. Hens can get an idea…..and they just won’t let it go….. …..come hell or high water….. …..(I’ve known some people like that)….. Here’s an example….. …..they can pick really bad…..or really unsafe places to lay their eggs….. ~~~Recently I’ve seen one of our hens fly up into the hayloft each morning to lay her daily egg….. …..at first glance…..I…

  It’s Hurricane Season…………………….again…..(sigh)…     Yes it is……..   There’s no denying it.     We have a big “yard” to keep up with.     A couple days ago, I tried to crank up “Ole Sparky” (I do every month)………. …..and “Ole Sparky” just spluttered and spit… The usual suspects were ruled out… The battery was still good/chargeable/and holding a charge… The starter was okay. The fuel was just fine and not gooey   The chickens do like…

It’s post-Irma.  We were so very lucky.  The eye went over us at about 2:30AM early on September 11th.  It was a Category 2 Hurricane by that time.  It could have been a Category 5 like in the Caribbean Islands.  We are so lucky.  We lost trees, but no lives.  We have fencing repairs, but not home repairs.  The sound is deafeningly quiet today.  I wouldn’t have thought it was so very loud during the storm.  But my ear drums…

Well, “She’s” decided to head our way…………………………….well, we are not a very wide state to begin with anyway. We’ve added locked gas caps to all our vehicles.  I like to (and I try to) remain optimistic about my fellow man.  I also think it’s always prudent and good common sense not to test that optimism.  Adding some locks & keys to the situation and a back up 9mm just helps to maintain an optimistic, open-minded approach to things. Our generator…
