W Tree Farm: November 2013
http://wtreefarm.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Our family's journey from Washington Street to W Tree Farm. Monday, November 11, 2013. There are two large piles of mulch, made from the tree trimmings the power company created, sitting around. I noticed this morning were giving off steam in the cold. To my mind that means that they are decomposing. Now no addition of biomass to the farm is a real loss but it does seem like a waste to have it rot away to nothing. Have any thoughts or tips? Posted by Emily Dale. Sunday, November 10, 2013.

W Tree Farm: Evaporator...
http://wtreefarm.blogspot.com/2014/02/evaporator.html
Our family's journey from Washington Street to W Tree Farm. Monday, February 24, 2014. So, we have an evaporator at last. Now we need sap. Friday, we bought a half pint evaporator by Leader from an Amish distributor a few counties away. We spent the weekend putting it together - lining the arch (I'd call it a firebox) with brick and putting in a brick wall, and getting the stove pipe up and some valves in. Posted by Emily Dale.

W Tree Farm: Re-laoding
http://wtreefarm.blogspot.com/2014/02/re-laoding.html
Our family's journey from Washington Street to W Tree Farm. Sunday, February 2, 2014. The other day I was lucky enough to get to reload the 243 shells I had fired over the last few years. Most of these round were spent on controlling our groundhog population. Groundhogs may seem harmless to most people but their holes can really damage the haymaking equipment and have undermined the driveway and threaten the stability of the pond wall.

W Tree Farm: Sheep.
http://wtreefarm.blogspot.com/2014/05/sheep.html
Our family's journey from Washington Street to W Tree Farm. Tuesday, May 13, 2014. We have our sheep. 2 anyway. Kable picked them up on Friday using a dog crate in the back of the Subaru. This may seem a little crazy but we don't have a trailer or a truck. The sheep traveled fairly well but escaped soon after we got them home. It was an exhausting chase around the farm but we got them back safely. Posted by Emily Dale. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Feed and feed stores. Plain and Joyful Living.

W Tree Farm: January 2011
http://wtreefarm.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Our family's journey from Washington Street to W Tree Farm. Sunday, January 16, 2011. It has been a beautiful January here at W Tree Farm. But until now its been cold and we've been sick. So the cats, boys and I have been bird watching. Are pretty small,. But always seem to come in groups of 10 or so. These mourning doves, are a recent addition and tend to be a gang of 4-5. This lovely red bellied woodpecker is probably my favorite:). I've never had one at a feeder before. The cardinals are so bright.

Our family's journey from Washington Street to W Tree Farm. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. I also enjoyed testing my tree knowledge. I realize that for someone who lives on a tree farm, I don't know much. Every leaf speaks bliss to me,fluttering from the autumn tree." -Emily Bronte. Posted by Emily Dale. Monday, October 24, 2011.

W Tree Farm: Feed and feed stores.
http://wtreefarm.blogspot.com/2014/05/feed-and-feed-stores.html
Our family's journey from Washington Street to W Tree Farm. Tuesday, May 13, 2014. Feed and feed stores. To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves" - Mahatma Ghandi. Yesterday, I went to the feed stores in Waynesburg, the ones I can walk to from the office anyway.I like going to the feed stores. I like the smell. I like the people who work there (the kids prefer the one near their school with the cats even little EM can hold). Posted by Emily Dale. Feed and feed stores.

W Tree Farm: February 2011
http://wtreefarm.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Our family's journey from Washington Street to W Tree Farm. Wednesday, February 9, 2011. Life this week is a bit different. Isaiah is home sick, so it feels like a Kable-less weekend. I seem to be moving.very.slowly. I go to bed each night with thoughts of farming (we have been watching Joel Salatin on youtube), being super productive and being in front of the computer less. Wishing you a productive day,. Posted by Emily Dale. Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Today is so beautiful! I'll keep working on that.

W Tree Farm: Lambs
http://wtreefarm.blogspot.com/2014/04/lambs.html
Our family's journey from Washington Street to W Tree Farm. Tuesday, April 22, 2014. Today began with a steady drizzle and one of the boys home sick. We sorted the middle boys' summer clothes. I am feeling blessed as it looks like the kids and I are good for clothes for the year. After two years of crazy clothes years - me being pregnant and then finding out we were having a girl(! Now the peepers are peeping and the kids are all asleep. Posted by Emily Dale. April 22, 2014 at 11:11 PM.
