...again. We have one goat who gets out a LOT. Luckily, it's the friendly one who thinks all people have snacks just for her so she's easy to put back in. Ted put her in and watched her jump right back over the fence again in a low spot. He's fixing it now. Puppers and … Continue reading Fixing fences …

Getting these pics
Getting pictures of the animals to add to this blog is not the easiest thing in the world to do. Sometimes these animals simply will not cooperate.

I leaned back on a sweet smelling hay bale on the ground near a tractor tire rim firepit full of apple wood smoking embers and listened to a talk he gave on Sunday at the Pawpaw Festival. I took copious notes. I met Joel Salatin. I bought one of his books … Continue reading Meeting an icon

He’s back!!!
I went out at 8:45 Friday morning to let the chickens into the run, and I stopped dead in my tracks. The chicken hawk, the one who stole away with a good portion of my flock earlier this summer, was IN MY DRIVEWAY! He was staring intently at my hens through their pen, trying to … Continue reading He’s back!!!
