Today was an easy day. I did not do any work at all. Nothing happened. Not one thing. I mean, I did my chores. I cannot leave the animals to starve, can I? Also, I freshened up the water around most of the farm today, too. After all, I cannot let the animals go thirsty,…
Dispatches From The Farm
Saturday Fun and Work
Today was somewhat restful. Our grandson was over last night, and had me awake at 5AM. That’s not an ideal Saturday morning wake up! But we hung out a bit and talked, which is great as he is not yet talking fully. Interesting stuff comes out of that kid. When his parents came at noon…
We Are Out Of Eggs
We are out of eggs, but we have chickens. Can’t beat that! Remember the other day when I said I would take the deck off the mower and cut the weeds in the vacant llama pen? I did that today. Now I just need to take the deck off again to get the mower out…
We Slowed It Down Today
I got up and made breakfast for Missus; beans on toast, topped with fried eggs. It is a long way from her favorite Full Cooked English Breakfast, but it is a part of it, and it sure is good! After feeding the goats and the llama, I sat out back on the granary step with…
Backhoe
My anonymous farmer buddy came by today with his backhoe and did a little digging for me. It was great to see him with that tool! I watched him work and realized just how impossible the tasks I had him doing would have been for me to do with a shovel or something. He started…
To Done!
As per the things I said yesterday that I needed to do today, I got some of them done. Not everything, but a number of things are finished for now, or at least in progress. I spoke with the propane company about getting the concrete blocks they have to put under the propane tank and…
The Llamas Looked Alert
The llamas looked alert this morning, so I started watching, thinking maybe the neighbor’s horses got into our field, but I cannot see well below the canal, and the weeds growing up along the canal path this year. Then a human head bobbed along, and it did not look right to be the neighbor. I…
Today Was Restful
We decided not to do much today. Missus has wrapped up so much in the past week, and her arms and shoulders have been hurting for it. We were also thinking that the girls start school in the morning, but the school has not been great at communicating till I checked back into the calendar…
Current Forecast: Fair in Fairview
I tried to get a screenshot, but it didn’t work out as clear as I was hoping for. But to summarize the important information from it, the temperatures over the next ten days top out in the low 80’s! This summer has been a hot one, with the temperatures in the 90’s pretty much every…
Things Are Going Airborne
Things are becoming more up in the air now than before as we try to figure out the means to do a big life change, and just what the end goal is. We are sure we need to rehome a few llamas, and that there are other animals we won’t be able to take with…
