Been a good year for peppers!
Our pepper plants are in overdrive this season. Been a great season. Freeze them, eat them and pickle them. Definitely the largest habaneros I have ever grown. Happy homesteading.!

Where eagles fly!
Pretty cool to see my neighborhood Bald eagle now has partner in crime. Last year there was only one. My children, ages 4 and 7 are not impressed and sadly, I didn't get any good…

Busy time if the year, and some duck math.
Our very noisy baby geese have grown from yellow to white in 5 weeks and are surprisingly quiet. I thought our less than a year old livestock guard dog would need extensive…

Spring time, is the best time!
I love this time of year. Lambs are dropping, plants are popping. We had a muscovy hatch out ducklings. That's pretty amazing to me since she hatched them under a board, outside…

Solar power and my political atheism.
Why I detest political parties. I am a conservative person. I also love freedom, even if that freedom is at odds with things I don't like or approve of. I believe in free market…

The best laid plans often go astray. But, sometimes things work out. Last year I had a brown ram lamb that I failed to castrate. I normally band at three days. This ram lamb had…
