Oh Poop!
April 29, 2014 I spent last weekend, before the current rainy weather, spreading all of our manure. The manure has been piled and rotting since last fall. I don’t like to spread raw manure. I feel that I lose too much when doing that. The manure, composted or even partially…

On The Move
April 29, 2014 Our flock has been increased by double. The baby lambs have all been born. We lost a few in the bad winter storm ten days ago, but the rest are doing pretty good. There are always a few weak ones that die along the way, but so…

Pooling My Thoughts
April 28, 2014 Recently, I have been doing a lot of deep thinking. I think about goals, plans and failures. I look towards the future with a bright outlook, but can’t help dwelling in the past now and then. There is much to learn from our past experiences, especially where…

Winter is Almost Over
April 17, 2014 I snapped this picture the other night down by the banks of Mill Creek…. Ok, I’m kidding 😮 It does look as if they are chatting. I think they would be agreeing to head north at least as far as Canada! Today was sunny and bright. The…

The Benefit of a Good Outlet
April 10,2014 The importance of a good outlet can not be overstated. Of course it is important for farm tiles and culverts, but a good place to drain the stress of life is awesome! I like to think that I have several, but when it all comes down to it…there…
