Season 4, Episode #31~ If a Tree Falls in a Forest…
THREE trees down in one week (as far as Blind Hog and Acorn know) and much firewood will be the result from two of them- the latest tree to fall was a sycamore and it is not much punkin’ for burning… July ended with 6.5″ of rain so small wonder the trees were “loose in the ground…”Continue reading “Season 4, Episode #31~ If a Tree Falls in a Forest…”
Season 4, Episode #30~ Sweating to the Oldies…
Has been a good 10 years since the farm has witnessed such a long heatwave, and it isn’t even August yet… Good thing Savanna goats are heat tolerant! The honey extraction worked well- about 7 gallons of dark amber spring honey. Deeeeelicious! Acorn is selling camera equipment so she can get a new camera thatContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #30~ Sweating to the Oldies…”
Season 4, Episode #29~ Beeeees
After lovely morning walkies, Blind Hog and Acorn set to doing chores. Acorn needed to check the bees, first time in MONTHS… That culminated in robbing a completely full honey super (with 2 more yet to rob) netting 17 pints of honey and that does not included the honey tied in with the cappings! MuchContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #29~ Beeeees”

Triple digit highs next week? Not looking forward to it! Blind Hog and Acorn had a grand time with company- Dave, our former neighbor. Had a fun-filled few days and even managed a trip to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Acorn DID get the littlest kids dosed with dewormer- tapeworms have shown up again. Continue reading “Season 4, Episode #28~ The Heat is Coming…”
Season 4, Episode #27~ Dry Dry Dry
Drought continues however there have been some bright sorts the past week- goats got sold, goats got moved, and everyone seems hunky dory…. Well, except for the garden which is forlorn for lack of plantings this year. NEXT YEAR the garden will be lovely- Acorn promises. Already planning to heavily compost then cover the raised beds, makeContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #27~ Dry Dry Dry”
Season 4, Episode #26~ Junior Constable Mouser, Reporting for Duty…
Blind Hog and Acorn have another feline in the pig barn/ chicken coop… A little blonde kitten that is probably male… Maybe… Sgt’s Inky and Boots can show him the ropes. Selling goats during a low price slump, waiting for rain, and going on a diet of all things. Talk about a variety of woes!Continue reading “Season 4, Episode #26~ Junior Constable Mouser, Reporting for Duty…”
Season 4, Episode #25~ Midsommar
Midsommar already- Blind Hog and Acorn took a second bunch of goats to market this morning, filing in behind all the Amish who were having contract haulers bring in their sheep- 3,000 head consigned already. Is a bit toasty at the farm, but heat cannot be compared to Texas’ heatwave- that is for sure! ACContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #25~ Midsommar”
Season 4, Episode #24~ Sorting the Goats
Acorn has a set of 15 goats for sale, buyer to come up tomorrow- maybe Monday. Will allow the farm to keep more of the 50% Savanna doelings for the great “breed up” program… Got some rain, fields doing ok enough. Geese have been given full use of the yard, not like they weren’t doingContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #24~ Sorting the Goats”
