Weekends are always busy around here. Even when we’re just doing regular stuff… we’re busy. Yesterday seemed particularly busy, it wasn’t necessarily, just seemed that way I guess. First thing after chores we initiated moving day for the RCW. It was past time, but we just weren’t sure where to go. It’s always easier to move when Dustin is around because he can level the trailer in nothing flat and it takes us forever. Continue reading

Some fun things happened this week; thought I’d share tonight. Just going to go down the list and share any photos that correspond. Most of this revolves around the fact that we received new chicks yesterday. Here we go… Continue reading

It’s a video day today because my mind seems to be mush. This is a total cop-out, but at least it’ll be a bit entertaining. Continue reading

Today Sue and I went to a Soils workshop in Tombstone that was sponsored by the Hereford NRCD (Natural Resources Conservation District). We are what’s called “Co-operating” members. We joined and do our best to conserve the natural resources: Air, Earth, Water, Plants, and Animals. So we wanted to support the workshops that our district is holding. It was held at the Tombstone high school with help from the Future Farmers of America chapter there. Continue reading

No, not that kind of hedge fund. More like, you know, funds. For the hedge. If you visit the “Dreaming into Reality” page, you’ll see that we have a list of ways that you can become part of the adventure, without even having to visit – although, we always want you to come visit. Anyway, we did receive a very nice contribution from two wonderful friends… a while ago. We spent it on several palnts that we needed, and we jokingly called it the Conrad Hedge Fund. So— today’s post is brought to you, in part, by the Conrad Hedge Fund; furthering the work of feeding the community one chicken at a time. Continue reading

These are the photos that I wanted to share with you yesterday, but we didn’t get this year’s taken until this afternoon. There are mostly 4 sets that I’m sharing with you, the top one is always the oldest, which means – excepting in one case which is 2016 – they are 2017, 2018, 2019. These are taken from the Shrine on the hill above us. The first set are photos that I combined in Photoshop – they give you an over view of the entire property, which shows in color. The rest are left, middle, right as you look down from above. The cross streets on the left photo are South Stone Ridge Road which runs left to right in the photos, and Prince Place which runs from top to bottom. See how many changes you can spot… there are many, though some you cannot see. Continue reading

Sometime’s there are days that I just don’t know what to write about. I think today will be a rather rambling post today. Also short. As you know, the last couple of days were rainy days for us (thank you, God) and we didn’t really have the opportunity to do anything beyond our regular chores. Today it wasn’t rainy, but I had to work and Sue spends Thursdays practicing the organ and other piano pieces for Sunday’s services; we didn’t accomplish any projects. Continue reading

Autumn arrived in the Sky Islands today! I know the Autumnal Equinox was yesterday, but we had our first Fall day today. I saw somewhere that we had 2.6 inches of rain! That was a good rain for us. We had/have a flash flood warning for today, until 8pm, but it looks like most of the rain is over for tonight. This photo was taken during dusk this evening looking to the South East, what I usually term “down Mexico way”. You can see the remnants of our storm, but it is starting to clear up for the evening. Continue reading

Wasn’t sure what we were planning on taking care of for today. It’s always and adventure, right. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if we pre-plan anyway; the weather interferes or something more important crops up. Generally, there is a whole list of projects that need to be done and if something doesn’t work out for one, we have plenty of others from which to choose. That’s life on the farm. Continue reading

I don’t have one specific thing to write about or a theme under which I can gather my thoughts, so today I thought I’d just share a jumble of random musings with you and see how that goes. (Not that that’s never happened before!) Continue reading
