Thoughts from the farm: Garden fresh goodies
http://thtsfromthefarm.blogspot.com/2010/07/garden-fresh-goodies.html
Thoughts from the farm. Random thoughts from a North Carolina farm. Life is good here. Saturday, July 24, 2010. It's always exciting when the fresh veggies start coming in from the garden. But, by this time, I've started getting pretty tired of trying to freeze or can or eat everything before it goes bad. We also grow these beautiful little yellow pear tomatoes. I love them. I've been tossing them on salads for weeks now. And, I just spotted a vine in my rosemary that I think a bird lovingly ...The main ...

Thoughts from the farm: June 2010

Thoughts from the farm. Random thoughts from a North Carolina farm. Life is good here. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Bare, naked llamas. Llama shearing time has come and gone again for another season. Thank heavens. I look forward to llama shearing as much as my annual OB/GYN exam! Last year was a good example. Our tallest female decided that after watching all of her barn mates get sheared in a restraining chute, whether they needed to be restrained or not, she was not having any part of it. We're going to sh...

Thoughts from the farm: Christine reincarnated
http://thtsfromthefarm.blogspot.com/2010/07/christine-reincarnated.html
Thoughts from the farm. Random thoughts from a North Carolina farm. Life is good here. Tuesday, July 6, 2010. This looks like a photo of a normal man on a normal lawn mower. Neither of which would be true. This is a picture of an insane man on a possessed lawn mower. Recently the lawn mower began to rebel. Remember that old, horrible movie Christine, about the possessed car? We've decided she's been reincarnated and has returned in the form of our old lawn mower. Next, he decided to strap a tank on the b...

Thoughts from the farm: A Canned Ham Camper
http://thtsfromthefarm.blogspot.com/2010/05/canned-ham-camper.html
Thoughts from the farm. Random thoughts from a North Carolina farm. Life is good here. Friday, May 7, 2010. A Canned Ham Camper. On the way to the grocery store one day, I spotted it - a circa 1970 camper. The once shiny white paint is now rather milky, but I had to take a second look at it as I passed by. I tiptoed across up to the camper to keep my high heels from sinking into the moist ground. I opened the door and stepped inside. It was OK, but I knew how this would go if we bought this campe...I kno...

Thoughts from the farm: April 2010

Thoughts from the farm. Random thoughts from a North Carolina farm. Life is good here. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Last fall we noticed we had a surplus of roosters in the coop when the poor hens began to look.uh.stressed. When my mother became so offended by this that she refused to come to the chicken coop any more, we tossed all of the roosters but two out of the fenced area around the coop to fend for themselves. Our abundance of roosters became my husband's favorite joke. No," he said. "What is it?

Thoughts from the farm. Random thoughts from a North Carolina farm. Life is good here. Monday, May 31, 2010. Apparently, Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends have become the times when we harvest honey. They are times I'm really starting to cherish. It was interesting this weekend to see the difference in the color of the honey that we harvested compared to the one jar we have remaining from the Labor Day 2009 harvest. Here's the picture - the lighter colored one is the spring harvest. Unlike chickens, wh...

Thoughts from the farm: Ring-necked pheasants
http://thtsfromthefarm.blogspot.com/2010/05/ring-necked-pheasants.html
Thoughts from the farm. Random thoughts from a North Carolina farm. Life is good here. Sunday, May 23, 2010. The call came early one morning this week. We'd been anticipating it - the call that the post office had a package for us. Hatcheries send ventilated boxes of live chicks all over the country. We'd ordered some baby chicks and ring-necked pheasants. So the birds are here, huh, Pop? The little shits are jumping out of the cage," he yelled back, obviously irritated. It made me chuckle. We had a few ...
