A River of Stones | Clucking Marvellous

https://cluckingmarvellous.wordpress.com/a-river-of-stones

Plant an idea, harvest the future. A River of Stones. A River of Stones. January 4th. I’m late. #aros #1. January 5th. Smoke drifts low and lazy into the cold winter air. A dog bark echoes from far across the snow encrusted valley. A low haze obscures a whole band of stars. Although I am alone I do not feel it. #aros #2. January 6th. Cold kitchen and breakfast clutter. Too long spent playing with shiny stones. Bagels to bake, before the boys come home. #aros #3. Weights pulling on aching shoulders. Janua...

Plant an idea, harvest the future. A River of Stones. I’m a lousy farmer. July 4, 2014. Anyhoo, the sun dried out the top inch or so of my tilled beds, or more accurately at this stage ‘strips’. Underneath was wet but not waterlogged, which bodes well I guess. I did three more passes with the tiller (a week after the initial tilling) before the soil was light enough and relatively clump-less to poke stuff into it. Except I couldn’t find the disk for melons and squash. On googling for which disk...This is...

And all I can offer is a paltry precis, but it’s better than nothing and who knows, it might just provide the impetus to write all those full length blogs that I’ve been storing up. So what’s new?

Plant an idea, harvest the future. A River of Stones. Meet Jericho, the holy cow. →. New Adventures in Bovinity, or how to bucketfeed a calf. September 10, 2012. Ok, so far it’s just cute pictures and I promised you an adventure, or at least a quick tutorial. So Norman pulled up the other day and when he has something for me he always says ‘Where are you? In this case I grabbed the naughty little thing, pinned it gently with a Judo move, stuck my fingers down it’s throat until it thought ‘oh,...One respo...

From pasture to Raised Beds | Clucking Marvellous

https://cluckingmarvellous.wordpress.com/2014/06/28/from-pasture-to-raised-beds

Plant an idea, harvest the future. A River of Stones. Forgive me father, for I have blogged. I’m a lousy farmer →. From pasture to Raised Beds. June 28, 2014. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile. First I had to get a tractor, then I had to get a tiller and a few other implements, then wait for the weather and tie that up with some spare time. All of this between the short period of ‘ground frozen solid’ and ‘planting too late for cr0ps to mature’. This entry was posted in Farming. You ar...

Plant an idea, harvest the future. A River of Stones. New Adventures in Bovinity, or how to bucketfeed a calf. When is a car shelter not a car shelter? Meet Jericho, the holy cow. September 25, 2012. Jericho is a Jersey cow, who’s milk I believe is comparable only to it’s island neighbour, the Guernsey. Oddly enough we have a friend from Guernsey who’s name is Nick de Jersey. I never tried his milk but his beer, wine and conversation made for fine times. This entry was posted in Moving To Canada. You are...
