Field Work
From my porch I can see three beautiful tiers of red earth all carefully bermed to hold a flood. A flood of irrigation water, that is. Just what we needed to properly grow our veggies! It couldn’t have happened without … Continue reading

The New Buckeye Chicks
So, here they are, the new bits of fluff that will, hopefully, become the core of our new flock of chickens. These little guys are Buckeyes, the only breed of chicken known to be developed by a woman, one Nettie … Continue reading
SNOW!
