Busy enough week for Blind Hog and Acorn- cutting down dead trees for firewood, cleaning up the sewing room and culling through boxes and boxes of “stuffs…” A carload of recycling and thrift store drop offs… And the wall of boxes and shelves is so neat and tidy… Blind Hog had a great 81st birthday,Continue reading “Season 3, Episode #39~ Blind Hog has his Cake!”

Season 3, Episode #38~ Lull in Activities, Sorta…
Not a very exciting week… Garden chores, woodpile chores… Blah blah blah… Goats DID get vaccinated, with the help of the Badger. That was a might task that needed doing. Tail hairs sent off on four doelings to get them registered as 50%’ers… Acorn got all excited about a new coffee grinder but after recording theContinue reading “Season 3, Episode #38~ Lull in Activities, Sorta…”

Apologies for any repeated material from week to week, but when everyday is the same, it is easy to get days mixed up! Blind Hog and Acorn have been busy with farm chores, food preparation, canning, woodsplitting. Today’s pasture walk revealed the winter forecast via persimmon seeds (spoiler, it was a spoon = snow). Sam’sContinue reading “Season 3, Episode #37~ Preparing for Winter”
Season 3, Episode #36~ Hurrah for Cell Phone Signal Improvements!
Has been a week of home electronic installation as Blind Hog and Acorn received and installed the new cell phone booster kit and yes, the big test of improved signal reception is apparent- the podcast episode loaded up before this first paragraph was completed!

Season 3, Episode #33~ Road to Recovery and a Letter from Afar…
Blind Hog and Acorn are slogging along, one better than the other. Farm chores wait for no one and things just chug chug chug.

Season 3, Episode #32~ Went on Vacation and All I got was this Lousy ‘Rona…
No- seriously, the week in the Rockies was FABULOUS! Blind Hog and Acorn both lost like 5-6 lbs, crazy good hiking days and wonderful lodgings. Airports were “interesting” to say the least. Missed one connecting flight by minutes, but truly that only set the holiday back by 4 hours- big whoop. At least the luggageContinue reading “Season 3, Episode #32~ Went on Vacation and All I got was this Lousy ‘Rona…”
Season 3, Episode #31~Prepping for Holiday
10,000+ steps on Acorn’s Fitbit and she has not really left the house- all that spinning around in circles!

Chores winding down for the day- beans to snap and thenContinue reading “Season 3, Episode #31~Prepping for Holiday”
Season 3 Episode #30~ Back to Chores!
What a wonderful time with The Goat Man and Brian! Always fun to goof off and have fun with company.

Well, Blind Hog and Acorn had aContinue reading “Season 3 Episode #30~ Back to Chores!”
Season 3, Episode #29~ Goats In, Goats Out
This week the farm brought in 4 adult Spanish nannies, one who was born on the farm 5 years ago. These were the last four goats of folks who started with SteelMeadow goats and got their herd up to 40, but they have decided to focus on cattle and making hay. The goats are calm,Continue reading “Season 3, Episode #29~ Goats In, Goats Out”
Season 3, Episode #28~ Back on the Roof
The good news is that the farm received rain, bad news is that there are still a couple leaky spots on the roof but hopefully Blind Hog and Acorn are getting them figured out. A few more forays onto the sheet metal might be needed, but they will see how the next rain is handled.Continue reading “Season 3, Episode #28~ Back on the Roof”
