Here I am with Sassy days after she was born 29 years ago in FL, and then again a couple years ago when we lived in Seattle. I am so grateful that we are celebrating with her today after she nearly died this winter. So many vets told us it was just her time to go, she’s old and lived a good life. We learned God determines when it is our time, not medicine. We have hope Sassy will be The Producer’s trusted steed someday too (She sits on Sassy now and says “bye” and waves me off like, “leave us alone I got this”) . HUGE thank you to everyone who helped us along the way. To celebrate, I’m going to try a livestream birthday party on our Off Gridish channel so you can join us and ask any Sassy question you’ve ever wanted to ask - we are planning for 3P PST - I’ll post the link here! 🎂 🧁 🐴 🎉 🥕 🍎
I never travel without hard-boiled eggs from our farm. I don’t care how many people stare at me. And yes, I also bring my own sea salt. I went to Colorado last weekend for my friend’s wedding and brought a whole lunchbox on the airplane. Some women bring a makeup bag. I bring sauerkraut.
I also never travel without the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. It comes in capsules that pack easily in your suitcase. It helps fill in the vitamin and omega 3 gap when I’m eating on the road. I also credit it with keeping my immune system strong. You get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at checkout. I take the gel normally but capsules are great for those who don’t like the taste or are traveling a lot. https://greenpasture.org/
Years ago I envisioned a life without daily poop patrol. I figured my kids would be out of diapers and I could say goodbye to the stink. I was wrong! Managing poop is a a big part of farming. It takes some learning but if you do it well, you can use it to your advantage.
One item I will never grow out of is the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture which keeps my bones strong for poop scooping and also saved my teeth from chronic cavities years ago. It’s packed with vitamins A,D & K along with omega 3s. You get 10% off at checkout with promo code “ALISON”. https://greenpasture.org/
What do you think? Does Hei Hei have repressed anger towards our other rooster, energizing his need to dominate us? Does he need a therapist? Or a crockpot?
Did you know that omega 3 fatty acids like DHA & EPA protect the brain from inflammation and help foster a healthy nervous system? Maybe Hei Hei needs some? I get a good daily dose from the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off at check out.
