Down for the Count. Again.
Today, I celebrate my fourth week since shoulder surgery number two! Hopefully, I don't have to revisit this particular problem in the near future.
On Farming
Antler Shed
A reminder from the farm to appreciate what we have.
Snowed In
We moved to North Carolina to escape the ravages of winter. We didn't completely
escape it. As much as we dislike ice and snow, sometimes it is rather
beautiful.
Starlink For The Win!
For eight years we have been plagued by mediocre to horrible rural internet. No longer! Starlink FTW!
Farm Project: Driveway Gates
Over the past few years, a design emerged for a relatively simple and effective electrified fence gate. Turns out, it works well for the driveway too. Check it out.
The Spirit is Willing
This is for all those moments when your body at age fifty reminds your brain that you are no longer thirty.
Lambwatch 2020!
#Cutenessoverload has commenced. Or as we like to say, Lambwatch! For the next month, about 20 ewes (sheep mothers) will be giving birth. It is a month of no sleep and emergency interventions. And lots and lots of cute!
Mutton, Capons, Culled Beef, and Spent Hens
As diverse as our food _seems_ to have become, in most respects our food choices have become far poorer, blander, and devoid of variety when compared to what was available in the past.
Getting Things Done
The giant to-do list called life.
Poison Ivy
Poison ivy is my nemesis. And in the South, poison ivy is literally everywhere.
