I think we got about 10 inches from the storm, when it was all said and done. It’s really hard to tell, though, because there was so much wind that the snow blew everywhere, in big drifts on the sides of buildings. It sure was nice to take the day off, and only go

I finally bottled the honey this morning. We got a total of 40 bears from our 35 pounds of honey. I thought I had bought 12 ounce bears back in 2005 from Betterbee, and so I just ordered a bunch more. It turns out I had bought one pounders, so now we have two

Jeremy came over this weekend, and helped us knock together the frame of the horse structure. We busted our tail non-stop, and barely got enough done. We had a drop dead time of dark on Sunday to meet, and we did, but have so much more to go. We just covered the frame with

Even though I am swamped and busy, if I don’t write this now, it won’t get written, and I want to document my progress. I am just back from attending a four day workshop on farming with draft horses at Fair Wind Farms in Brattleboro, Vermont. It was awesome. Why did I take the class?

We got quite a bit done of the chicken palace, I mean coop over the weekend. The weather on Saturday was awful, clear and cold, but really windy, so we didn’t do much outside at all. Sunday was gorgeous, though, and we made real progress pretty quickly. Having two cordless electric drills was a

It is amazing how well Buster Muster is doing. He still looks awful, but is his same-old happy, cheerful self. He lets me check him out whenever I go out there, and since I’m a big old worrywart, that’s a lot. The horn itself, or whatever the flesh that is left is called is

Oh, Buster, the cutest sheep in all the world, why must you be a Houdini? We came out this morning for chores, to find Buster with a bloody horn and blood all over the side of his face. Frank was headed out for an appointment, of course, but helped me put him into the carrier

Valerie came over today to help remove the little lame lamb’s cast, finally. It’s been three weeks, I think. Close enough to the month the vet was hoping for. The vet had said anything over two weeks would be fine, and to go as long as we could with it. But the lamb had a

Everything looks so pretty, crisp and colorful today. The colors of the leaves against the big blue sky is something that I just can’t get enough of. It’s amazing how calming the sheep are, too. Wendy showed up with the last little lame lamb. She was injured when she was sheered this fall. A tendon

Hey, it’s not May yet. Snow is normal. So instead of working outside in the garden, I went back down in my basement where I could pretend there was no snow outside. I managed to hurt my shoulder pretty badly, though. I’d been emptying out some of the window boxes from last year into the
