Our family is so grateful for all of you who are part of this community, especially since it allows me to spend so much quality time with the Producers. A couple days ago, 3-yr old Lily somehow divided up the animals and secured Freckles & the goats in a stall - all while barefoot (though she knows she is supposed to wear her boots). I walked into the barn to find this scene. Though I had to write her up for her lack of footwear, she will get holiday pay for her creativity and problem solving skills. She holds the title of Executive Producer for a reason. Happy Thanksgiving to your production crews!
Chickens have been the best farm investment. They are easy keepers, lay eggs you can eat, and babysit your kids. Make 2026 the year you get your kids chickens. You will not regret it.
My grandfather, John Morrow, used to say, “Going to church on Easter and drinking on New Year’s is for amateurs.” I think the last time I went out on New Year’s Eve was a decade ago. So raise that glass of raw milk and enjoy some rest! I’ll be asleep before it’s even 2026 in China. I wish you all peace and joy in the year to come. G’NIGHT!! ✌🏼
We have been playing electric fence whack-a-mole with the cows, especially “mommy cow”, who appears to be the ring leader of the fence jumping mafia. She either has a very high pain tolerance or the hot wire we just installed isn’t working. I watched as she ducked under the wire and pushed down the metal fencing so she could help herself to our backyard grass - and a recycling container filled with old hay.
