Ted loaded up the pigs Sunday evening and put the trailer in the barn to keep them warm and dry. The goal was to go straight to the butcher shop early Monday morning before work. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that they didn't open that early. Luckily, I found out before we left because I checked … Continue reading It’s always something

Rural King has chicks!
On the way home from our staff meeting, I stopped at Rural King. Guess what cute feathery little fluffballs I found? Yep! Chicks!!! There were just a few bins of them, but they were all pullets. Farming tip: Let your local store know your name and number in case they can't sell the chicks they … Continue reading Rural King has chicks!

A little act of kindness goes a long way
I posted on Kroger's Facebook page last night, and in less than 24 hours, there have been over 1,500 likes on it! The comments have all been so positive, too. It got me to thinking: we're all so quick to post the negative, but I'm betting far more positives happen to all of us. Let's … Continue reading A little act of kindness goes a long way

Still no after…
...because we're still working on adapting something that's super old to something that's brand new, and that threw a kink in the whole thing today (January 1st) ! Tomorrow, though, there will be after pics because Ted and Isaiah figured out what to do and just have to get the piece needed.

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)
