One of the many reason I loved Florida was NO SNOW. I grew up in Virginia, we didn’t get a lot of snow but we had our years. I was glad to get away from the cold winters & snow & ice. My 2 oldest children had seen snow before, while visiting their Dad &… » read more
Ok, I had the bomb of a lifetime dropped on me last night. My brother Chris called to let me know he had JUST found out he has a 19 year old son. I am still in the “WOW” stage of comprehension.

Well, the Christmas season is upon us once again. I have been very busy, as has Will. We try to keep Christmas Eve as simple as possible. I made a bacon, egg & cheese casserole for dinner. While dinner was in the oven, we put up the tree. We always put it up Christmas Eve… » read more
My younger brother Chris came to the farm this thanksgiving season and learned he will always be a city boy at heart. He did love some of the activities we have here at times such as getting new livestock and having to catch it to load it, chasing and catching chickens while singing the Rocky… » read more

We have acquired 7 new piglets, 5 boars & 2 sows I believe. We got a good deal on them from a man we bought our last bunch from. We also sold on of our grown boars today. A neighbor stopped by to see if we had an adult male, as he has a sow… » read more

Sorry it has taken so long to post, we have been pretty busy around here as of late. Been harvesting parts of the garden, mowing several acres repeatedly, tending to our now wide range of animals, helping the kids with school work, and a plethora of other happenings.
In the news, my first stab at a… » read more
Today brought us another surprise. Cristian & Jason were out riding the ATV around the yard when Jason pointed something out to Cristian in the culvert. Cristian turned off the ATV & heard yapping & went to investigate. He found a little puppy down there & he doesn’t look very old. He brought him up… » read more

Well, the day came this past saturday when it was time to take one of our beautiful hogs, the one we named ‘Ham’ matter of fact, and convert him to preservable freezer stock. It was an interesting day to say the least, as this is the first hog I have personally butchered, so it was… » read more
I mentioned in a previous post that 2 of our dogs (jack & brownie) got out of their pen & took off. It has been months & no glimpse of them. I like to browse through craigslist.org looking at the pet section. Much to my husband’s dismay, I found a lady who lives about 40… » read more

In a previous post I mentioned we found out that our so-called white mare is really a stallion. He has since been renamed by our almost 5 year old, who insists on calling him Diego. As in “Go, Diego, Go”, one of his favorite cartoons. I guess it could be worse
This past Friday… » read more
Well, our first stab at incubating is coming to fruition as of this morning. The first chicks started breaking out of their shells and all the kids just had to watch. The look on their little faces was comical at times, and inspired a feeling of pride at others.
Since the first pieces breaking off the… » read more
Personally, I think this video should be on every agrarians blog, website, or whatever you have available. The word should be spread.
Big Ag surely is not going to tell people the truth about their products, so why not do it… » read more
It has been awhile since I made a post, so I figured I would make one with updates. Since the post about my garden, I am happy to say that most of the things I planted are growing well. So are the weeds. After my eye got hurt, I really couldn’t go out there for… » read more
