Repurposed
Today while walking to the flocks, I took the long way to look for what is starting to grow and forage. I tripped and fell down when a branch hooked my foot hidden in the grass. I looked for it and pulled it up to take it to the wood pile. I decided to use…

Eating and drinking weeds

I made some green juice and the pulp I will use like I would spinach for cooking. Laundry day since the weather is…

Dumped Animals
Our 2 cats were dumped on the homestead. We welcomed them as they adopted us. We immediately took them to the vet, had them spay and neutered plus gave them gender neutral names for their protection.

Time Blocking
