See ya, goats and chickens…

18 Feb 20099 Feb 2009 by Mike (tfb)

Doing the last rounds on the old farm, saying farewell to chickens and goats. Here, a bunch of the girls (goats) are chomping away on hay, and the eight cockerels are enjoying a day in the cold sun. They seem … Read the rest

The goats

31 Dec 200813 Dec 2008 by Mike (tfb)

Haven’t been paying much attention to the goats lately, so I checked ’em out for a while this morning. They have absolutely no problem with the cold, eating hay and hanging out pretty much as usual. Of course, serving them … Read the rest

“I love intense!”

2022 right now...

Late June: Fresh veggies have arrived. Lots of different greens are ready to go. Snap peas, green onions and beets starting to size up. LOTS of rain and fairly cool weather for the last couple of weeks. The grass and other plants around the garden perimeter grew so fast, it overwhelmed the electric fence keeping the deer out. And at least one deer took advantage. The grass has been cut, and the deer are once again at bay. Weather-wise, we've moved from rain to humid heat. For the full story, you can start back in January.
