Life is tough!

Hard at work on the farm.

We are growing things!

I'm growing Basil, Dill, Chives, Oregano, Rosemary, Sage, Spaghetti Squash (that's the one growing like crazy!), and Lavender. And they're not dead yet! -S

COWS UNITE!

As many if you know, we have a group of about 30 cows pasturing on our land. Well, out of all of these cows #11 has always been the biggest jerk of the group. Starting a couple of days ago, #11 began jumping over the barbed wire and getting into the yard, eating all of the apples off of the tree and being a general pain in the butt. Each time we'd have to corral her back into the pasture, sometimes causing her to break fences and arbors in the process. Well, we woke up Saturday morning to find that #11 had led a COW REVOLUTION and led all of the cows into the yard! After a few hours work and scary incidents of the bull charging when you're only equipped with a broom, all of the cows were back where they belong. I'll leave you with this: #11 better watch her back....

EGG!

(we've been getting 1-3 eggs a day from the hens, but Obie decided to let them live truly free-range, and now they roost high up in a maple tree and we don't know if they'll ever come down to the coop to lay eggs again or if we'll be able to find them wherever else they may lay them . . . )
