Believe me. We've tried for two years to give away the giant pile of cherry wood, and we've had two takers. Finally, Ted read that a leaf blower, when aimed at the base of the woodpile, would fan the flames enough that it would burn quickly.

We've been there and done that, and it's only fun the first two times! Luckily, the weather … Continue reading Work never ends here

I immediately woke Ted up from … Continue reading Freebies are always good!

I’m on baby watch!
Jake and I noticed Bessie, Bindi, and Chantilly were all in the hoop house and wouldn't come when we called, so we turned off the electric fence and checked it out. Bessie's membrane has broken! We should have a calf on the ground soon!
