Folks, I was thinking, oh, oh. I was wondering if anyone out there was interested in any open pollinated corn seed. I’ve been trading with a reader Don. And it occurred to me that some homesteaders and small farmers might like to try some seeds we plant on the farm. Plus it tis the season [...]
Wind is howling and its so cold out its crazy! I pray the wind cuts down tomorrow cause it could be rough if it doesn’t. I don’t mind cold but when a rough wind is with it it can get dangerous. But the house is warm and unless something happens that’s where I’ll be [...]
Well its Saturday evening and the end of the week is much different than the beginning of this past week. Our feed supply is much more secure, the weather has broken and its nice outside, and generally all is well as far as I know. Both farm trucks weren’t running this past week, but they’re [...]
It was a cold one this morning, got to 24 below zero, and that’s enough to put a chill in the bones! But the chores must get done one way or another. But rumor has it that there is a warm up on the way this weekend and I’m all for it because [...]
Glory, life is moving along out here! Today I had the first load of hay delivered from a farm thirty three miles to our west. I don’t know, but I do believe they musta got a bit more rain then we did last summer, but then again unless you live in Death Valley [...]
Well Glory to God! It got above zero a little bit ago here. Now we’re at a hot one above zero. Sure hope the cattle can find a shade tree with a heat wave this intense eh. Cattle seem to be in good shape, well allot better than they were two days ago [...]
It’s a cold one in these parts the last few days, sounds like a few more to go but there is a light at the end of the tunnel on the ten day forecast. Yesterday was a rough one with the wind howling along with sub zero temperatures. That was truly the [...]
Been kinda busy these last few days, more irons in the fire than I know what to do with em! So everything is normal there. Winter’s grip is holding on, getting cool outside and we should have a below zero spell for a while around here. No snow since the beginning of December, but [...]
A Saturday evening out here in the country, another pretty good day weather wise and in every other aspect too! Those Partridge Rock hens are starting to lay finally. I guess they’re really right on time seeing how late in the summer that we received them. Those are some good looking hens [...]
I’m a little tired tonight, in fact I’m really tired but all is well around here. Truthfully I’d better not complain about being tired because I always like living the old time way and that’s sure how we’ve been living lately. Been butchering and cutting up a couple of pigs yesterday and today, nice ones [...]
