*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Apparently my older daughter & I have become the Social/Romance Coordinators for our farm animals….. Of all our resume skills and talents…Wow!…this one’s right up there….. I’m not sure pride (or despondent resignation) comes into play here….. …..but it’s a useful skill nonetheless….. …..and someone has to do it…and a person should take pride in what they’re good at….. We brought Beau and Clover home after the first of the year….. I figured…they’ve…

The Fifth Day Of Turkey

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** We’re on the Fifth Day of Turkey………….(left-overs)….. I can’t complain….. It’s still nummy yummy good….. All it takes is nuking a plateful…and you’ve got a complete/balanced/nutritious dinner….. …..(I don’t recommend microwaving the canned cranberry sauce though…it doesn’t come out looking the same…more like pock-marked grout)….. But we are currently on the fifth day of turkey consumption…(with more on the horizon)….. It’s what’s for dinner…(again)….. …..there’s gotta be a song for that….. …..oh, wait………

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Finally….. The “extra” roosters went to auction last weekend….. My older daughter orchestrated and chased them all down….. …..(remember those extra birds who were not ours?)…(the surplus roosters who got dumped on us?)….. I thought there were only three drop-offs….. …..well three roosters had mysteriously grown to four….. …..my daughter caught and caged them all….. She said at one point she had counted six…(in addition to our home-raised boys)…(nine roosters!)….. …..(absolutely great for…

The Buzzard’s Like Us…

Comments 0 Comment

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** “The Boys” seem to like us….. They appear to have taken up permanent residency in the back pasture…all around Mama Pig’s pen….. …..my father used to refer to a group of buzzards as “the Boys”…(I’m sure fifty percent of them were probably girls…but they were always just “the Boys” to my Dad)….. Normally they are only here for “a reason”….. …..an unfortunate (but necessary) clean-up-on-aisle-six-sort-of-thing….. But now they seem to be here permanently…..(?)……..

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** He’s back….. Mama Pig’s Boy Toy has returned….. I saw him this morning with the horses in the front pasture….. …..(I’d like to point out that the horses go ballistic when I’m riding and they see a strange pig…but one that’s literally rooting right next to them is…A-Okay???)….. …..(not cool…ponies…not cool)….. …..like I’ve said before…..the last time we saw Mama Pig’s Boy Toy…..he was swimming due east through the swamp….. …..he’s been gone…

The Necessity of Vultures

The Necessity of Vultures

Comments 0 Comment

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Vultures (or buzzards) are a necessary bird….. They get a bad rap…..but they do a great service….. …..there are lots of “clean-ups on Aisle 6” when you’re on a farm or in the country….. …..vultures are efficient…..and surprisingly quick….. They have a pecking-order (HA!) and a running-tally-system of what gets eaten first…second…and third….. We collect the skeletons of what’s left after the vultures and insects have finished their clean-up-duties….. …..actually…..I’m not sure why…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Remember when Mama Pig’s boy toy ran away after their nice new pen was finished being constructed?….. …..he made that aquaman-escape through the cattails….. …..the last time we saw him…..he was hysterically splashing and doing his best breaststroke due east through the swamp….. …..never to be seen again….. Well………. …..three months and three weeks and three days (115) later (a sow’s gestation)…..piglets arrived….. Okay…..Okay…..Okay…..we are the worst at chaperoning boy pigs and girl…

They need to be re-visited & expounded upon….. I know it’s probably weird being excited about completed pig styes (sties?)….. But they’re so gorgeous….. They brings tears to my eyes (and it’s not the pig-poop that’s doing it)….. My older daughter and Grey have finished the two pens….. …..one more pen…

Farms and Repairs

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** Farms are synonymous with repairs….. Nothing stays fixed….. …..it rots…..it breaks…..it’s constantly getting spindled & mutilated by livestock….. Just when you’ve finished a spectacular project…..some fat beast comes along and sits on it….. …..(I’ve discovered the same thing about cleaning the refrigerator or mopping the kitchen floor)….. …..(not that some fat beast squashes it…..but right after you clean the refrigerator…someone inevitably…
