Here's a link to a video I made for my work at the Kansas Rural Center for a project aimed at sharing stories of what farmers have been experiencing during the pandemic.
For the past few years, since learning of the incredible medicinal and nutritional qualities of dandelions, I have been badly wanting to make use of them in some way.
Went out looking for morels yesterday morning. It was hot and sunny, and seemed the perfect day for finding morels. I didn't find any morels, but did stumble upon a brand new calf tucked into the dogwoods out by the far pond! Mom was grazing happily, and didn't mind the intrusion.
Eyes, formerly known as Bagel, is spending his first night at his new home. The lucky boy is going to live with our son Scott. This puppy was the first puppy I saw when I peered over the hay bales when searching for Muffin on the morning after she'd had her pups.
Lambing season is in full-swing. It's been a much easier year, so far, than last year and we are sure grateful for it. We have a whole host of beautiful lambs on the ground and they'll continue arriving through April or May. It's a busy, beautiful, sometimes stressful time on the farm.
We've got a whole host of livestock guardian puppies at the farm!! Muffin had six puppies in November and Meadow had ten in early January. Everyone is doing great!
