Willow/Witch Hazel/Orchard update
About a year ago Daddy and Seppi and Winnie were out in the north pasture near the beehives. The small ones have grown a lot in the last year. They are become less small... More mighty. We have to revamp our tree protection system this year, for a couple of reasons. For one, I didn't… Continue reading Willow/Witch Hazel/Orchard update
Dad life
Daddy! My hands are told!
Helping
Winnie is such a helpful baby girl. More than anything else, she wants to be intimately involved in every single thing Mommy and Daddy are doing. She starts out helping a little bit. Then a little bit more... Then finally she inserts herself right into the middle of the whole process, and "helps" even more.… Continue reading Helping
Odd Jobs
Homeschooling is a lot like farming. You never can tell how long it is going to take. The job that took 5 minutes last week might take 5 hours the next. The kids that did all their school perfectly without any need for input yesterday might not be able to manage 2+2 without asking for… Continue reading Odd Jobs
Clearing the legumes
Didn’t get much time at the farm yesterday, spent about an hour in the afternoon, getting a new paddock set up for the cows and the sheep in the Orchard, and prepping the legume to be planted to wheat, hopefully today. Math. Still needs to get done. One of the things we needed to set… Continue reading Clearing the legumes
Me-Me do!
Miss Winnie is now two years old. As a newly minted two-year-old she feels that she should be directly involved in all the major tasks on the farm. Whatever Mommy or Daddy are doing, Winnie wants to help with it. She won't hear any of this nonsense about, "No, you're too little." What do you… Continue reading Me-Me do!
Turkey Birds
It's been a while since we've updated on the Turkeys. We originally had 7 which arrived at the beginning of June, living in our large brooder for a couple of months. One escaped the coop and hopped the fence, flying off to be a free turkey like his ancestors, but the other six are still… Continue reading Turkey Birds
Bird-Mobile
The pigs have less than a week remaining before they go off to the butcher, and the meat birds are now four weeks old, halfway through their brief lives. It is time to get them out on grass, but we don't fancy the attrition rate we had last year with the chickshaw only. We would… Continue reading Bird-Mobile
Helping out
Getting ready to go to the farm on Tuesday Morning. Seppi picked out his farming outfit with care. Hat to keep the sun off. 'Spenders to keep his shorts up. Boots to keep his feet from getting poked. And a bag of books, because we had to go to take the older girls to violin,… Continue reading Helping out
