This week the wildlife did some unexpected things and many things are starting to set fruit or seeds. Shane had some harvests from his bucket garden and the Phenology Guide has some info on what to harvest so you can plan your preservation! Enjoy! Amy

Another quiet summer week on the ranch. We took a leisurely woods walk Saturday afternoon and a quick stroll through a park on Sunday morning. Shane did some great work on mom's 'bird tree' over the weekend too. Enjoy! Amy

Hope you had a wonderful Independence Day weekend! Hard to believe our nation is 250 years old! Shane and I took it easy and did our woods walk that afternoon. It's been a week of running around so it was nice just kicking back, watching birds, and enjoying nature. Enjoy! Amy

Livestock Edition: July 2026

Things with the sheep slowed way down, but hay hauling was enough work to almost make up for all of lambing season! I have to say it's my least favorite time of year but so satisfying and stress-relieving when it's over. A few crazy and frustrating events happened this past month as well. Enjoy! Amy
