Logging in the snow

December 20, 2007

We logged for a while this afternoon, despite the snow. It was that sort of gentle snow, with fat, fluffy flakes, and the temp was just below freezing, with no wind, so why not. Frank found a trucker, and he thought my idea of using the long driveway to roadside next to would work fine, [...]

Navigating rough waters

December 19, 2007

One of the (thousand) times I was walking the puppy today, I was pretty sure I heard what sounded like an eggaluyah. But since I had the (naughty) puppy with me, I didn’t want to take her into the coop to find out, so I just told Frank. I was right. (I speak chicken!) The [...]

Being naughty

December 18, 2007

Bjarki had a great time today, introducing the new pup to all of the farm animals. She is just a fearless little thing. Everyone wanted to meet her, too. Doppa and Sue were the two sheep most interested, but she went under every fence, into every pen, to at least take a look. I asked [...]

A day on the farm

December 11, 2007

We took a rather disappointing trip over to a feed store in Vermont, to see if their prices were cheaper, since they were right on the railroad line. It turns out they are the same as the (very high) prices we are finding in Keene, which is really disappointing. I’ve got to source some more [...]

Retail Therapy

December 9, 2007

We’ve been pretty lucky, in that we can leave the puppy outside to play for an hour or two without much bother. He mostly hangs out with Misty, and I have got to get a picture of the two of them playing. He will bring her his ball, and she will push it with her [...]
