Bessie is four years old!
Bessie was so tiny when I brought her home from the flea market four years ago. She weighed about 75 pounds. She could suck down a gallon of milk in a matter of seconds from this bottle. Side note: This is my all time favorite photo of myself. I don't care how messy or chubby … Continue reading Bessie is four years old!

We did it!
It was time...we had to trade off the old trailer. It just wasn't going to to meet our needs any longer. We bought this beautiful new 16' Corn Pro to meet the growing needs of our farm, and we couldn't be happier with our experience at Lance's Trailer Sales in Athens, Ohio! If you need … Continue reading We did it!

Es-cop-ay! (said in Dory’s voice)
All four pigs got out. Ted was gone for work, and when I went to feed them, they weren't there. I kept looking for them, thinking they were sound asleep in a pig pile, and then I was looking at the yard, thinking, "What did those dogs do NOW???" Then I realized the pigs pushed … Continue reading Es-cop-ay! (said in Dory’s voice)

Almost 30 years together, and I still get butterflies when he holds my hand, kisses me, and falls asleep on me like this!

Tucker feels so much better!

Tucker had it the worst of all three; her poor little eyes were almost continually shut and goopy. She never played and slept almost 24/7. The vet gave them all an oral antibiotic and eye drops. … Continue reading Tucker feels so much better!

Little farm boy
We came late to the farming venture. Our kids are now 25, 21 1/2, 16 1/2, and 9 1/2 years old. We always had some chickens scratching around and sometimes a goat, but Jake is the only one that's grown up with pretty much all of these farm animals constantly around...and he loves them all. … Continue reading Little farm boy

Goin’ huntin’ (but not really)
Ted got a new toy on his way home from work Monday. I mentioned to him over his vacation that I saw a fly repellent gun at the feed store last summer, but I hadn't seen it since then. He was vaguely interested, but he didn't seem to be paying much attention, and … Continue reading Goin’ huntin’ (but not really)

I got shocked!
It finally happened after all this time: I got shocked on the electric fence. I don't even know how it happened because I'm extremely cautious around it. I think that it arced somehow, but Ted says that's impossible. I'm not so sure he's right. I was adjusting Beef's temporary fencing because he'd scooted his water … Continue reading I got shocked!
