A Few Misconceptions
Gus here, I just wanted to clear some things up. First of all Olive should not be aloud to use the computer no telling what she might say! Second its very hard to be farm boss and we can’t all be perfect. I know that Mom thinks that she is farm boss but really my Dad is farm boss but since he has to be at his other job I have to do the job here. We like to let…

This post comes from the desk of Olive, she wanted you all to know Gus’s true colors! Well fall has arrived here in New York very cold (did I mention I come from Georgia) and now it is also raining. Any good southern girl can appreciate a good mud pile and I am no different. Thursday it started raining and man did I love splashing in the puddles, but by midday Friday those puddles have turned muddy. This is Saturday…
Taken to our grave…
These are the fears we had, the emotions never expressed and the things we never shared. It might have been a text that was never sent, for fear of your response. A conversation we never had because we knew what your response would be. That time we were going to ask for help, but was to afraid of what would be said. That time you came over and we wanted to talk but it was all about you. We hold…
Happy Thursday
Gus wants to wish everyone an excellent day!

Me: Well Purl you don’t need grain to be nice you’re just friendly all the time. Purdy however will become a feral…
This means war…
Every morning I walk down the hill and am greeted by two of the most wonderful horses I could ask for. Badger usually nickers his hello while Ace screams like an idiot. Ace gets to wait in his stall in the morning while Badger helps me count scoops to ensure that I correctly count everyones breakfast. After everyone is all snug eating their breakfast I usually sit in the tack room on the stacked pine shaving bales while the horse…
Naked Sheep!
Over the weekend we got so much accomplished to finish up before winter comes. It happened that a warm front is passing through so we were thinking about the coming winter on an almost 80 degree day. Sunday morning we woke up early and got Lola pig into her travel box to take her to the butcher on Monday morning. We chose to do this early so that not only would my Mom and I have Jeff’s help but if…
It’s the middle of October which means we are finishing the last few items on the winter is coming list. We have all the pieces to put together the chicken and rabbit shelter for winter and will be doing that hopefully within the next week. The pig is going to the butcher Monday with two of the lambs. We will be repurposing the box we brought Miss Purdy home in to bring the pig to the butcher. The project for…
