IMG_3041Here we are, back to normal days. At least as far as projects are concerned. It’s been rather an “everyday” kind of Monday.  Just another “day in the life….” Sue has all but completed the newest chicken tractor. Just needs a couple of handles and things that allow us to pick it up and move it around. I like this design that she’s been using recently. Has a smaller opening on top that we can use to get the food and water out of, the nesting box in the back with another hatch for access, and then the door in the front that lets the chickens in and out. There is also a roost across the middle, inside, for when they want to get up off the ground. All around solid little tractor. We should be able to move this one quite easily as it’s a couple feet smaller than the most recent one she built (I mentioned that already, right? – Sometimes I forget these things.) So chalk that up as completed. Continue reading →

IMG_3015.jpgGot back late last night, after taking an unscheduled detour due to an accident on the hwy east of Tucson, that added a bit of time to my already long drive. Isn’t it weird how, when you stop driving, your body still holds on to that driving sensation. Last night, when I closed my eyes, I saw a road stretching out in front of me… I think I drove all night. Oh well, at least I arrived safely into the (somewhat) cooler weather of Hereford. I was only gone a week, but so many things changed while I was gone. I suppose that’s normal. Just always surprises me. Continue reading →

hive1.jpgIf you’ve been with us from the beginning, you know that one of the things I wanted to do was have an apiary on the farm. Well, hybridized bees in Arizona have really made that impossible. If you have these “killer” bees on your land, even if you’re not aware of it, and they hurt or kill people or animals, the land owner is 100% liable for medical bills, and whatever else. So, since they are so prevalent in the area, and can take over a hive so quickly, we didn’t want to do that. However, Sue had already purchased the hive of my dreams: the Flow Hive.  Continue reading →

Yes, I know. It’s Tuesday, and I am a day late. You all know that happens when I’m on travel; the schedule gets all screwed up!  I was out with my folks yesterday, celebrating their 57th wedding anniversary. By the time I got back to Ramona, the Library was closed, and that ended my posting for the day.  And now, here we are at Tuesday, safely ensconced in one of the more calm sections of the Ramona Library and ready to write.  Let me say this upfront though: tomorrow is Independence Day, the Library is closed, and I’ll be spending the day with Family – so don’t look for a post tomorrow. I’ll try to write on Thursday.  Then, Friday, I’ll be traveling back to Arizona (weather permitting) and will not be writing that day either. So, we’ll see if there’s something to share on Saturday.  Just want to give the regular readers a heads up!  I wish you all a safe, fun, and spectacular Fourth of July! Continue reading →
