Burn, baby, burn

by Lisa on December 26, 2010

The tree that tried to kill me There’s something rather satisfying about burning the wood from the tree that tried to kill me. Frank worked a lot today bringing a bunch of it in, on top of all the regular chores. I’m still rather useless. I did a little bit of shuffling around and petting Pyrs, but that’s about it. Still, better than yesterday.

We are forecast to get a ton of snow overnight like most of the East Coast. Jeremy and Roki are due here any second. As soon as they get here, it’s officially allowed to bring it on.  We’ll enjoy the heat from the tree that tried to kill me, and some serious family time for people and canines alikes.

Visiting the farm

December 27, 2009

Jeremy came home for a couple of days, just a quick visit. It was so nice to see him again. He moved out to San Diego a couple of years ago, and wow has the place changed since the last time he saw it! Much more land is cleared, the flocks are all bigger, there [...]

Horse adventures

August 6, 2007

Jeremy came over this weekend, and helped us knock together the frame of the horse structure. We busted our tail non-stop, and barely got enough done. We had a drop dead time of dark on Sunday to meet, and we did, but have so much more to go. We just covered the frame with a [...]

The Mud and the Muck

July 30, 2007

I almost afraid to say it, but we sort of kind of maybe made some progress this weekend. The sheep aren’t happy where they are, but they have lots of room out on the hill, three out of four sides are permanent fencing, and the last side is electronet, but because it’s a straight run, [...]

Predators, Parasites, Persistance

July 16, 2007

I’m discouraged, lately. I think we both are. The only thing that is really thriving is the bees. (Murphy — back off. We do not need to have something happen to them now, thanks!) The sheep are having huge parasite problems. Selina and Fiona both showed awful bottle jaw, so we were worming them frantically, [...]

Leon vs. Angel

June 1, 2007

Oh, the times I wish I’d had a video camera with me. We moved the sheep down in Marlborough on Thursday, just up the hill a bit from where they were. They were acting like they were starving starving, but to be honest, we probably should have kept them where they were at least one [...]

Miserable Misty

May 26, 2007

Poor thing. She just hates everyone and everything right now. I’m trying to coddle her as much as I can, to not add to her stress. The current theory with what killed Mary is an overrun of a common bacteria that lives in their respiratory tract, and that can be caused by stress. The vet [...]
