Day Begins

"As the leaves blow in the cool fall air, I am reminded that winter will soon be here. The hay is stored in the barn, the firewood in the shed, and meat and produce preserved, I feel secure. My family sleeps as I kindle a fire in the cookstove. The kitchen warms. Fresh eggs and milk, bacon for breakfast. I am a father, husband, farmer, hunter and provider. Another day has begun." RW

Spring is coming

Another snow storm has covered the ground and is covering the sap buckets, waiting for the upcoming maple sugar season. Let's hope that the maple season will be good one. Remember now is the time to plan your garden and plan for those chickens or the next pig. Go out and think about what you can do to make your family more self sufficient. It may be fashionable now but it might be a necessity in the near future. Read my April 12, 2011 post. Sugar house is ready for the upcoming season.

Blizzard of 2013

Looking outside today, winter is holding tight to the land. The northeaster known as Memo, has dropped at least 24 inches of snow here, covering the nearly bare ground. It seems like this storm will be one to remember. In the goat barn we have two does born so far. Single births are rare but two in row is unheard of here. Time to feed the fires. See you soon.
