Ranch Rockhounding

March 1, 2021 Amy Wheeler

Today was a rockhounding day since it's sunny and warm out. Shane and I went walking down to the creek and I grabbed some small agates and a piece of petrified wood before we had to get going. I wanted to share some of what we've found here on the farm over the past year… Continue reading Ranch Rockhounding

Ice Storm, Feb 2021

February 17, 2021February 18, 2021 Amy Wheeler

Currently, we are operating with a generator large enough to power the heat in the house, the well, our computers/router, and a lamp or two. I am able to update all about our current state of affairs after the nasty ice storm. We rarely get storms this bad and this damaging. In fact I can't… Continue reading Ice Storm, Feb 2021
