Tonight we’re doing a bullet list type of thing. I’m starting this at 7:10 p.m., and for some reason – I am just way dragged out. So, I’m not doing a long thought out post – and I don’t have any photos to share with you… so this will be boring. Ready! Continue reading

Happy Sunday everyone… here we go! Photos for you – I’ll do my best to explain what we have, but as has been the case as of late – there really isn’t a cohesive theme. I’m starting with this photo of Leggs because I think it’s funny. This was Friday morning. I was changing the bandage on her foot and she just ended up sitting in my lap like that. She just stayed like that the entire time I worked on her foot. She was pretty comfortable. Continue reading

If you call something “untitled” isn’t that giving it a title? So, should I really just call this “titled”? These are the strange things go through my mind on occasion. Maybe it would be better if I just gave it a title… nah. Besides, I found this great logo that I’m borrowing from the “Untitled Supper Club” in Chicago. I took a gander at their website and I’m so sorry I didn’t get a chance to check it out when I was visiting last year. Looks like they have a great three course, Prix Fixe Menu and over 550 whisky choices. Anyway, someone go there and let me know what I’ve been missing. Back to today’s post. You know how I like to do an overarching theme, linking several events together under the main title? I just don’t have that today. What I do have is a couple of photos and one event to share. Let’s get to it. Continue reading

Odd things happen on the farm, dontcha know. You go out to feed and there’s a goat hanging upside down from the fence. You go to throw afternoon scratch out and a chicken has disappeared, only to show up a couple hours later wanting back in the pen. Sometimes – especially recently – we’ve had chickens die for no discernible reason, those are always difficult. Just odd things; some funny, some sad, all odd. Continue reading

…chicken dinner! Ok, maybe not. Or maybe in a round about way it will be a chicken dinner. That sounds a little bit morbid, I guess. What in the heck am I talking about anyway??? I thought I had written a blog post about this, but I couldn’t find one when I went back to look. So, let’s start at the beginning. Continue reading

No one will dispute that foot care is important. How far can we walk when we have a blister on our little toe? For me, not very far… well, that’s not true, I could kick off my shoes and be able to walk for a while, as long as it wasn’t rocky. My dad could tell you about the importance of foot care at the moment, since he’s been recovering from a crushed toe for over a week now. Mom cleans and bandages his foot/toe daily. We do foot care here too, and eye care, and leg care. I thought I’d just bring you all up to date on the critter care over the weekend. Continue reading

The morning didn’t start out wet, necessarily; it did rain some last night, but it wasn’t raining still. Neither Sue nor I were up for much today. Did the normal morning chore routine. Added some new things and took care of a few others. Just a rather normal Saturday morning. Too wet to move the RCW, we came in for breakfast after all the chores. Then I received a flash flood watch warning from NOAA. Yep, I’m that important that NOAA sends me text messages! We’re under flash flood watch until 3am tomorrow. That means that it has been completely cloudy and it has been wonderfully cool all day. I think we’re hitting the high right now and that is 76°! Lovely. Continue reading

The old cliché is that a “picture is worth a thousand words,” but I am here to tell you that most of our photos are worth, maybe, 50. They are all part of the adventure story though… sometimes the adventures happen so fast that we just aren’t able to capture them… mostly because a) we don’t have a camera/phone with us, b) we can’t get the camera/phone out of the pocket quickly enough, or c) didn’t even occur to us to take a photo. In other words, when we’re able to share photos, you should just consider yourselves lucky! Today, we’re catching up on photos that were taken and never shared… that’s rare. I was going to just post them and have you make up your own stories about them, but then I decided to give a bit of info. These will not be in chronological order. (There might be one photo that could be disturbing, but please know that everything turned out all right – you’ll know it when you see it.) Continue reading

Hey everyone! As predicted, I didn’t blog on Saturday after our newly dubbed “chicken freezer day”. Now, things have gotten a bit out of control today and it’s ended up being a bit late to blog much. So I’m just going to give you a quick update of the weekend, and then Thursday, I’ll do a better job of reporting all the stuff that went on over the last few days and share photos that have been piling up. I’m just going to let you know that there will be some frank talk about “chicken freezer day” and if you’re squeamish about that, do not go any further. Continue reading

We have cases of “best laid plans” all of the time. We think something is just going to take a few minutes to complete – and it ends up taking hours. Happens often. This week’s best laid plan was “once the old fence is gone from inside the goat pen, Scooby won’t be able to jump it any more.” Well, that’s what we thought. We figured he was using the old fence as a spring board to get over the new fence. Continue reading
