Food for Founder: January 2011

http://foodforfounder.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 25, 2011. I forgot to add that I would not have a job in this ideal world, which is non-ideal. Murphy’s Law of Horses. Any trouble a horse can. Get into, a horse will. Have I ever mentioned that I am anal about keeping the paddock clean? In my ideal world* I could do it twice a day every day, so my psyche finds this once every other day shtick a little hard to take. As such, I often muck the paddock in the morning on days when I am home and then leave the huge wheelbarrow. 8220;Unnecessa...

Food for Founder: February 2010

http://foodforfounder.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 21, 2010. Today we are taking my mother, David's parents and our friend Roger to Strahan, on the wild west coast of Tassie. Last night I tried to double-check the driving time using Google Maps and got this:. It’s a little hard to read, but the basic route is from Hobart, Indiana through the US to Seattle, over to Hawaii, then Japan, then Indonesia, Australia and finally Strahan, Tasmania.  Estimated driving time = 56 days.

Food for Founder: July 2009

http://foodforfounder.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 30, 2009. One is the Loneliest Number. Sunday, July 26, 2009. David is back at Farcical Farm now, hanging out with the gang and harvesting food from the garden in the midsummer heat. He is happy to report that Tonka is doing just fine after his few days of hot feet and careful movement. Can you hear my sigh of relief? But it's still kind of nice to know that we might be able to sustain ourselves for a couple of weeks if push came to shove. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Friday, July 10, 2009.

Food for Founder: November 2009

http://foodforfounder.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Saturday, November 28, 2009. A Dog’s Breakfast. It is definitely possible to feed a raw diet for much less if you work at it, but we are spoiled by being shorter on time than on money. Thursday, November 26, 2009. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Some of you may recall that I won $20. There are so many exciting things to tell you about this place, but a $9 bike seemed like a good place to start. Thursday, November 19, 2009. Wednesday, November 18, 2009. Back at the ranch Tess seems to be making out just fin...

Food for Founder: May 2010

http://foodforfounder.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Thursday, May 27, 2010. One final piece of sad news: about a week before David and I left for Tasmania the Red Menace. It wasn’t immediately obvious that the Red Menace was a write-off, but it was clear to us that we couldn’t leave Tess at Farcical Farm without a utility vehicle.  We rented a car (spent the rest of the weekend having fun in Seattle) and bought a grey 2001 Tacoma 4X4 three days later.  When ICBC finally gave the Red Menace. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. The other piece of news that FFF readers...

Food for Founder: August 2009

http://foodforfounder.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 18, 2009. The newish aquarium at the YVR international terminal. Definitely helps to pass the time. Saturday, August 15, 2009. Gelding Justin to keep Tonka company. So thanks to those of you who have been so *cough* subtly *cough* suggesting other horses for me to consider, but that's not in the cards until next summer. I secretly suspect that Maddie. Will save herself for me (sorry EvenSong). Friday, August 14, 2009. A Peck of Purple Peppers. Wednesday, August 12, 2009. While I was in To...

Food for Founder: The Good, The Bad and The Handsome

http://foodforfounder.blogspot.com/2010/10/good-bad-and-handsome.html

Tuesday, October 26, 2010. The Good, The Bad and The Handsome. The good: In some ways Tonka is doing really well.  His feet are rock solid, his teeth are good, and his winter coat is remarkably plush.  His weight is good (he could maybe lose 50lbs), his attitude is cheerful and his eyes are full of sparkle. From the ONE.MEASLEY.PHOTO you provide (the interwebs are a visual media, you know) Tonka sure LOOKS good! Sorry for all the caps- Im not really yelling, but its the only way I know to add EMPHASIS!

Food for Founder: March 2009

http://foodforfounder.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 31, 2009. How Much are Those Creatures out the Window? Sometimes David and I muse about how rich we would be if not for the menagerie at Farcical Farm. The mortgage could be paid down, the vehicles could be upgraded and we could travel wherever and whenever we wanted. It sounds kind of nice in theory, but mostly awful. I have mentioned before. At this stage FFF gets about 100 readers daily. If this information helps even one of you to protect your computer and yourself it will be worth...

Food for Founder: June 2009

http://foodforfounder.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 30, 2009. He and His Shadow. This is Spike's favourite sunny spot, just inside the door to our back deck. From here he enjoys the southern exposure, the mountain view, and the company of his girlfriend Pipsqueak. Who often comes to chat with him through the window. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. I always thought that cats were the ficklest creatures around, but Pipsqueak will eat any thing at any time. In fact, I think she's considering my edibility in this picture. Humph.

Food for Founder: September 2009

http://foodforfounder.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 30, 2009. It’s easy to imagine that other women in their early thirties fantasize about nice cars, or jewellery, or fancy houses. I fantasize about manure spreaders. Or, more specifically, this manure spreader. Is that so wrong? Tuesday, September 29, 2009. The Wind that Doesn’t Shake the Tonka. I could feel Tonka fading fast on the way home, both physically and mentally. After the last push up The Hill. Sunday, September 20, 2009. Condition is flabby. Hooray for the Renegades! Apolo...
