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

It seems endless, all this building that we are doing. All week, we’ve been outside working, from before breakfast, right after the morning chores, until the sun goes down and we can’t see the marks on the wood anymore. We’ve either been doing the actual building construction, or running the sawmill to get the

I’m a bit tired of this prolonged winter. The snow was almost gone when we got this recent coldsnap and accompanying snow. The puppy loves it, of course, and I should be used to it, but we have so much to do that needs good weather that I’m getting frustrated. My to-do list just

We rushed off to HomeDepot as soon as everyone was fed this morning to get the three metal roof panels for this last shed. Unfortunately, they only had three left and they were in pretty grim shape, but we couldn’t wait for more to come in, so we just took the discount and took them

I’m really amazed at the progress we made in just about two and a half hours this morning. We’ve got Thanksgiving tomorrow, and it started raining around noon, so we knew it was going to be a short day outside because we have so much inside stuff that has to get done. So we started

We did a lot today, and I’m exhausted, but if I don’t get it out now, it won’t get written, so I’ll write while the tub fills up, and then we’ll go soak away the aches and pains. We do that a lot, lately. That tub almost belongs in our list of handy farm equipment,

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

We worked outside a lot today, on the sheep sheds, of course. Now that we’ve got the yards penned in, we don’t have to worry about the ground freezing and not being able to get the posts in. We had enough lumber cut on the sawmill to start framing one of the sheds, and getting

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

What did we do today? I can hardly remember. Worked on the garden shed foundation. Ran the sawmill. Until we were exhausted! Fed the bees. Frank’s switched to a 2-1 sugar/water ratio, and both hives are still taking it. Only a few of them are flying these days. Suddenly the bidens in my window
