No, not the four legged ones. We are officially all sold out of baby goats. I mean the two legged ones. Baby chicks! Let me back up a bit. Our 15 chickens are over three years old. That means their egg production is decreasing. We needed to start thinking about what to do with our […]
Braised Beef for Tacos
Braised Beef is my favorite taco meat. We are having this for dinner tonight. I actually made it yesterday before going to Joshua’s last baseball game of the season. I used my timer on one of the wall ovens so it would turn off after three and a half hours. Years ago my dear friend […]

Snow in Amity
Snow? Nope The weather people keep teasing everyone with the possibility of snow. I don’t mind that because I know the weather people are rarely correct on their predictions of snow. Western Oregon is difficult to predict for any type of weather except rain. We are close to the ocean, we have the Coast Range, […]

♪ I’ve thought about us for a long, long time but never did get around to writing a post. ♪ Michael is in remission and is doing well except for dry skin on his face. He will see a Dermatologist about. He is back at work and loving it. He is not a guy […]

The date : September 6th. The accomplishment: honey extraction. Casualties: one stabbed palm, one cut across a thumb and, one bee sting (all mine). Thank goodness for extra special friends.

August Happenings on the Farm
Yes, I’m writing a post on the Solar Eclipse day. We are pretty excited to live within the path of totality. All we have to do is walk out the door, put our glasses on, view it and then walk back into the house. I’m old enough to remember the one back in Feb. of […]
A New Gate, Pretty Flowers, and Cancer

Get Your Cancer Update! Tuesday we had our first appointment with the oncologist. Great guy. He has been a doctor for 40 […]
Long Time No Blog Post
Gosh. It has been over two months since I last posted. I finally finished up with my twice a week physical therapy for “frozen shoulder” at the beginning of June. A little more than a week went by before Michael informed me he had gone to see our family doctor for a problem he had […]
SWARM!
Our weather is still very wet with occasional breaks when the sun lets us know it is still there. One of those days happened last Wednesday. Joshua was looking out the front window when he saw thousands of bees. It was a swarm. Michael was on a conference call so it was up to me […]
