Life goes on - Winter 2018

Has anyone out there heard from Dr. Larry today? He was supposed to arrive at Atlanta airport this after noon and we can not find him. Just thought that if he were in trouble, he might try to post something on this forum. If so, message me soon. We haven’t heard from him for 14 hours. Thanks, Billy

Been buissy building new pasture fences lately, one part is finished. Goats are buissy clearing the bushes while the pigs, turkeys and geese are converting grass in to tasty meat for free :slight_smile:

Its a buissy yet wery rewarding time of year. Nature is full of life and young energy.

The other turkey hen hached her family today.

Son and l made a roof for pigs and goats to escape the rain while on the pasture, and in the evenings its time to put extra eggs to a more stable form.

Chris, congradulations to you 3! You love them from day one but its true for about 3 years its mostly dipers and heavylifting, but after that they become great helpers :smile:

Make sure he stays well hydrated with plenty of good-old-fashioned American beer. The best of it is of course brewed in Oregon, but there are no doubt a few other places putting out a passable alternative.

I worked on preparing my garden today. Got it all rototilled and planed out my new tomato arbor. If it doesn’t rain tomorrow that is on the project list then I can start planting some of the early stuff. Tonight when I looked at DOW. I thought maybe we can close out the winter of 2018 pretty soon and move on to the summer of 2019. I for one am happy to see winter in my rearview mirror this year it was a long cold winter with not enough wood put up in advance hopefully next winter will be nicer as my wood is currently in my shed drying.

It would run on stems and leaves, then toss the seeds out the window.

I almost finished my tomato arbor but I ran out of 2 inch wide scrap from my mill so I had better fire it up and clean up the resaw edge boards I didn’t saw the other day because I wanted to work on the arbor. Each one of those sections is 16 feet long and the vertical slats are 20 inches apart so I can plant a tomato at each one. It is amazing how many tomatoes you can use if you make sauces out of them.

I was lining up the ladder to start painting, looked skyward, and saw this…

Ice crystal rainbow around the sun.

Not a normal sight for this time of year…

Spring has been late, dandelions are just in mid bloom, trees are only beginning to leaf out.
