In planning my day today, this will not be an ordinary Saturday. For any newcomers here that don’t know, we are new homesteaders here. If you like to see photos of horses, sheep, ducks, etc. you can browse my archives. Late last fall we purchased acreage and were out here every weekend building the beginnings…

Get to work and take some time off
Last week was on the hectic side – though I managed. Work hours shot up dramatically – to the tune of almost 50 hours. This week it’s done the opposite and dropped off in a crazy way. I’m not sure what to do with myself! I guess I’ll manage. We’ve had rain again. And by…
4 there were but 3 there are now
We lost an animal today. That is not unusual on a farm, I know, but it was still pretty upsetting. It was one of the 4 baby guinea fowl that we acquired this past weekend. It seems something(s) upset their nursery (playpen) and toppled it over on a rather cold and rainy night/morning. They were…

I just want to spin right round
I planned to – until I discovered that somehow my web host has lost a massive amount of htaccess files from all of my hosting accounts. So that’s what I’m working on now – into the wee hours of the morning, most likely. Frustrating!!! Tomorrow’s Goals: Temporary Horse Pasture Posts for Permanent Lower Horse Pasture…
Day 3 but ending this countdown now
I’m back. 3 days in a row can’t be that much of a fluke. Right? Today was a very stressful day – especially this evening. I don’t deal so well with confrontation – but sometimes… you just have to confront. But I don’t want to talk about that right now. Still now lamb(s) from Mama…
Two days in a row
Yes, this is me here, two days in a row…. amazing, I know…. Today was not the greatest of days – but it’s almost over. Tomorrow just has to be better. I’ve been partaking in allergy shots, since last June, every week (well, almost). I have 3 shots, I have so many allergies, but it…
No time for catch up
I won’t even attempt a catch up entry – *SO MUCH* has gone on in the past 6 months that I would’ve loved to document and share here. I will attempt to run some back stories now and then in the near future, as I attempt to write more (I’m _in the mood_ once again).…
