The new driver in the house needs to practice backing up out of the driveway a little more. LOL Nobody was hurt, including chickens and turkeys. The door bracing (on the side of the little door where the hinges are) got knocked askew. With four brackets and thirty minutes, this will be good as new.

Let’s try it again
We have three bush hogs, and none of them work correctly. Ted is always messing with them, trying to fix them. YouTube is a great teacher! He's learned to do all sorts of things from there, and he's determined that he can fix these bugs. If he can get all three running and running well, … Continue reading Let’s try it again

I’m horrible at my Year of Martha
It's after mid-May. Let me repeat, it is After.Mid.May. I will never be Martha Stewart or even a close facsimile. I got all motivated when I got her magazine, and I made my calendar on a little notebook pad. Here's what I have on it: Do you know how many of the items from May … Continue reading I’m horrible at my Year of Martha

They really do love the mud…
I know I said this earlier in the week, but the pigs really do love the mud so much! I always wondered if it was just a stereotype. Now I know! It's not! This is their favorite past-time next to rolling an old log round and round in case there are grubs under it. And … Continue reading They really do love the mud…

Turkey gets “her” babies
On April 28th, Ted went by Rural King on the way home from work and picked up four turkey poults. One of the turkeys went broody a few weeks back and set a nest of chicken eggs. Unfortunately, we think her temperature was high, and so she actually just spoiled the eggs instead of getting … Continue reading Turkey gets “her” babies

Filling the freezer!
It's no secret that the absolutely best meat that you can get is the kind that's raised the old-fashioned way and the way the animals were meant to be treated on a farm, not from one of those confined animal feeding operations where they don't see the light of day and don't feel the grass … Continue reading Filling the freezer!

Composting with hay
About three weekends ago, we went out to Mr. Johnson's farm with the trailer. I had stopped by there the previous week when I saw him out and about and asked him about some of the really old hay bales he had setting outside. Once hay has been setting out for about a year it … Continue reading Composting with hay

Pigs DO love mud!
The temperatures started climbing here in Southern Ohio about three weeks ago, and the pigs started trying to have a little swimming pool in their water trough. They would splash a little water out, and then they would get out of the trough and roll all over the clay dirt to make a wallough spot … Continue reading Pigs DO love mud!

Wild Bindi
I'm playing some serious catch-up on my blog because of all the testing I've had to do with students over the past month. I decided to just go back and start from the beginning with everything so you can catch up and be up to date, too! About three weeks ago Ted decided to move … Continue reading Wild Bindi
