It truly has been a rainy week, and I’m glad. It has rained five of the last six days for a total of 2.65 inches. Most of them were not storms, certainly not the kind of storms that causes damage anyway. My dogs are not big fans regardless. With the recent fireworks and occasional thunder […]
This week, life was much more normal after all the storms. That doesn’t mean that things didn’t happen around here! Any time there animals in the mix, something interesting is bound to happen. I really like the A frame pig huts that I built for my Idaho Pasture pigs. They are more affordable than the

Sometimes life comes at you so fast, you can’t keep up, let alone write about it. I’m hoping I can get this to you before something else happens. We’ll see. On the morning of the 14th, I saw on the radar a storm coming our way. As you may know, because I am STILL in

This is a recipe I got off about.com by Fiona Haynes. It is a frequent meal on Wednesday evening when we attend church services and my husband wants a hot meal he didn’t have time to eat after he gets home from work. The girls and I eat before church. 1 pound small white potatoes

For four days last week, my granddaughter, Kinzie and I, worked the kids camp at our church. It’s four days of chaos being skillfully guided by seasoned volunteers who know how to handle the children. I believe the grades are third through sixth with others who belong to the volunteers. Kinzie bravely spent all her
The first half of the week seemed to be pretty slow news wise, but picked up toward the end of the week. I candled the duck eggs and ended up pulling two more, leaving 24 to finish incubating. I harvest some peas from the garden and was pretty excited about it because I had never

Although I’m always busy with something, some weeks are a more eventful than others. It seems this past week was one of the more eventful ones. I’ve been spending extra time out with the piglets. This is my first time farrowing and raising piglets and I am trying really hard to learn as much as

I’m loving the weather this week. There has been a mix of rain (1.3 inches) and glorious sunshine. Even with the sun out, it has not been too hot. Nice! I have moved the ducklings that hatched last week out to a chicken tractor. They are enjoying fresh grass and I am enjoying less mess
Not Sure I’m Cut Out to be a Pig Farmer Read More »
We had several days of cloudy, drizzly weather with the highs frequently in the sixties. Yesterday, the temperature climbed to ninety degrees. I have to admit that I didn’t mind it. I’d rather sweat a little than be cold. I was reminded that I need to keep a closer eye on my pigs as Daisy
For the entire month of April, until these past few days, we have not received any rain. The rain did finally come and it was a nice, slow, steady rain. The kind that soaks in nicely and doesn’t wash away all my topsoil. I actually love the rain, but my spirit begins to sag after
