Ruffled Feathers and Spilled Milk

Farming with ducks and dairy goats, chickens and children.

Be Careful.

I know the news anchors tell you to make sure your pets are taken care of during cold temperatures.  And they encourage you to bring pets, including dogs, inside when it’s below freezing. Be careful.  Very, very careful. Because your pet may just decide to nap in the sunny spot in front of the wood […]

A Lucky New Year.

First I carried eight 50lb feed bags out to the barn.  Then I separated Autumn, the October goat kid, from her mom for the first time so we could milk Allie in the morning.  It’s time to dry off Vanessa so Allie needs to pitch in and do her share.  I’m not exactly sure what […]

Turkey TMI.

If you don’t want to know how that turkey made it to your Christmas dinner table, stop reading now.  Right now. But if you’re curious, if you wonder how it happens, if you want to try it yourself (bless your heart), then go ahead and keep reading.  Because it’s not that hard.   It’s not […]

A Pony Christmas.

No, we didn’t get another pony.  One fat hay-gobbling Shetland is quite enough, thank you.  But this post is about C.C. and this special time of year.  Special for her, not because she’s anxiously awaiting the babe in a manger, but because she got another unexpected arrival. Joe. Joe is a Jacob ram.  He came […]

AIM High.

High school has been a new experience for us.  But some things never change in the public school system.  Some things are as predictable as pizza in the school cafeteria on Fridays.  Like the poor secretary left holding the bag in the front office.  You know, the one facing a long line of irritated parents […]

Halloween Chocolate.

Well, Halloween came and went and all I got was a few fun-size Snickers out of the kids’ treat bag.  Which are not as fun as one would think.  Unless your idea of fun is a nice, hard tease.  The kind of tease that says, “Mmmm, isn’t this fun?  Imagine how much fun a full-size […]

Boo!

There’s no way of knowing who will live and who will die.  But, for sure, some aren’t going to make it. That’s the kind of Halloween we’re having this Friday. Apparently Mother Nature decided to dress up as Jack Frost.  By the time the goblins go to bed and the sun comes up on Saturday […]

Throwback Thursday: Kick Off.

With frost in the forecast for this weekend, I headed down to the garden for some clean-up of the summer veggies and to put down floating row covers for the fall crops.  Sheets would be used to cover the most prolific tomato plants as well as some of the eggplant and peppers.  Plus, I was […]

Not Ebola.

So it was Super Double Coupons at Harris Teeter.  Which is about the only time I step foot into the Teeter.  ‘Cause the Food Lion is more my economic style.  But when Teeter is willing to double coupons up to $2.00 face value, it catches my attention.  We don’t have a Teeter in my town […]

Delivery.

Hey.  Who ordered pizza? Wait a minute.  That’s not pizza.
