The cold is so hard on my skin! Here are some of my solutions. The best lotion for winter dry hands! Plus, a little goes a long way. I put this on like a kindergartener that stole lipstick from their mom's purse. Also great! I have used this with a neti pot but I like […]

We put Chunk and Lavender together on Feb 3rd, we witnessed mounting on the 6th. That means piglets in May! Countdown to piglets!
The tomato seeds for the hoop house have been planted! We are experimenting with cold tolerant and short-season tomatoes. I would love to have year-round or at least early tomatoes. These tomatoes are starting their journey in our greenhouse on a heat table. Then they will be transplanted to our hoop house that will probably […]

You have to be so careful with ducklings and water. They LOVE water the most and struggle to make good decisions. My rules for duckings and water. Week one only drinking water from a drown-proof waterer. Week two they are allowed a shallow bowl full of water. They must be able to get in and […]
