Ruffled Feathers and Spilled Milk

Farming with ducks and dairy goats, chickens and children.

Newbie.

Normally I have a No Return policy on goats.  Not because I’m selling inferior stock and I’m afraid my customers will bring me back a dud.  Mainly because a lot of my goats are bought without spousal consent.  Oh, most couples talk about purchasing a goat together.  But sometimes “I’m not sure” is interpreted as […]

Pick Me Up.

Well, things went from bad to worse. The hose sprung a leak after constantly being unattached and reattached to the water hydrant due to freezing temperatures at night.  So a lovely mud slick developed outside the barn door. One of the ducks turned up injured.  Possibly broken leg.  She can move around, but slowly.  And kind […]

One step forward and you know the rest.

Daylight savings time isn’t the only thing that has sprung forward and fallen back.  Around here we haven’t just lost an hour of sunlight and been forced to climb on chairs, get out user manuals, or almost drive off the road trying to reset all the clocks in our homes and automobiles.  We just can’t seem […]

Fine Already.

Some of us do not go gentle into that good night.  The winter night.  I, for one, do not appreciate the approach of winter.  I prefer to do the morning milking in my pajamas.  I like sunlight when I wake up and long slow sunsets while still working in the garden.  My wide-enough hips are […]

Giving Thanks.

Let us give thanks…. for the families that we were born into and the families that we chose.

Election Results.

I’m not sure what everyone is so upset about.  Because no matter who you voted for, there are lots of benefits when the elections are finally over.  All those elections signs make for excellent free targets.

A Tale of Two Cities (Plus the Country).

Sometimes the party never ends.  Or at least it doesn’t end until the kids are so exhausted that they put themselves to bed and the adults are too exhausted to care if the kids brushed their teeth or not.  As a matter of fact, the adults are so tired that they just open a new […]

Learning.

Well, there has been a lot of learning going on over here.  I took a basic knitting class where I learned, um, the basics.  I made a visit to a knitting friend when I dropped a stitch.  She showed me how to fix the dropped stitch and lots of other tricks that I barely understood […]

A Fair Price For Memories.

I am a big believer in the fact that you don’t need money to make memories.  Every time I see the Disney ad “Let the Memories Begin” paired with special rates of “only $2500.00 for a family of 4!”  I have to laugh.  We budget our annual vacation at $400.  For a family of 6.  […]

Ho hum.

At first I thought I was getting old.  After all, there were some signs.  After years of highlighting my hair, God saw fit to give me some natural highlights.  You know, to save me the trouble and all.  Ask and ye shall receive, I guess.  Um,… thanks. Plus there are many times when I enter […]
