Ruffled Feathers and Spilled Milk

Farming with ducks and dairy goats, chickens and children.

Sometimes You Just Know.

As soon as you see it.  You know.  And you think to yourself, “That’s it!  That’s for me!” Sometimes you’re looking for it.  And you can’t believe how lucky you are that you found it. Sometimes you’re looking for something else when it just falls into your lap.  And then it goes beyond luck.  It’s […]

It Ain’t Over ‘Til The Fat Lady Sings.

I understand that the stores have you thinking fall has arrived.  That summer is over and, minus the freakishly overzealous celebration of Halloween that will have us making otherwise socially unacceptable things like this, the cold and dearth of winter is on the doorstep.  That the approach of Labor Day signals not just a random […]

Free Range Garden.

I finally did the mowing. In the garden…. ….down by the fruit trees…. ….and up to the perennial beds.

Why Does The Okra Hate Me? (And Other Farm Tales Of Woe)

We are spiraling out of control. The chickens are hatching ducklings.

Together Again.

Well, by this weekend everyone was home again.  Which means we had to stay busy.  Because we’d had so much time apart that we weren’t sure if we still liked each other.  Or wanted to share our toys anymore.  Or even the couch for that matter.  When you get a little break from one another’s […]

Back to School.

Little and Middle went back to school this week.  Big is at boy scout camp.  The Other Half is at work.  Which means me and Pretty are bored to death.  We have been forced to go out to lunch, get pedicures, see movies, stamp soap, and make bleach stencil T-shirts.  You know, just to avoid […]

Recovery Program.

The dry spell passed last week and we finally got some rain.  Not that people around us hadn’t been getting rain.  They did.  They always do.  We often sit on the deck listening to the deafening thunderclaps and watching the lightning flashing over the towns next door.  But we are dry as bone. That’s because […]

Potato Farmer.

Know what this means? Well, yes, it does mean we finally convinced Big to cut his hair for summer.  But that’s not what I’m talking about. It means when we came up from the garden we were happy. Very happy.  Because as it turns out…..get ready…..you are going to be excited….YOU ACTUALLY CAN GROW POTATOES […]

Tina.

Some times things happen for a reason.  Some times someone can cross your path at just the right time.  Some times we are given a sudden and unexpected opportunity to save each other.  And we take it. When Tina came into our lives, we were at a breaking point.  We had recently lost a lot […]

How many pots can a crackpot crock if a crackpot makes crockpot soap?

It was another hot day.  Which meant we had to play inside.  Again.  Although the boys were all up for going to see The Three Stooges at the $3 theatre.  Not gonna happen, boys.  I can manage a lot of Disney and Pixar.  But a remake of The Three Stooges is a flick for The […]
