Cali one on one

Can't recall the last time I took cali out by herself. I usually have a clown car of dogs.  Enjoyed a delightful mini walk at the river collecting acorns with my girl. She will be 10 on 1/9. Can hardly believe it!

What pets do you all have?

Me - 3 dogs (but hundreds of pigs still have my heart).

Up next...a post on Skinny.

My heart pig.

I gave him the love and care he needed to find the will to live.

In typical Ayrshire fashion they reneged on our written contract of sale after their first inspection.

My heart breaks for all of the pigs at Ayrshire Farm, but especially for Skinny. A pig wise enough to play favorites.

Cats and careers

Learning to co exist with the upstairs cats.  Going well. My innate fear of felines is subsiding.

These are my boyfriends mom's cats. We are currently staying in her basement...at 30 years old. Yep...one of "those".

Worst part? Found a local farm job which requires extensive skills and experience and pays...$11 a hour. Ugh.  Possible desk job at $25ish a hour with full benefits or soul fulfilling farm job at less than half the pay with no benefits. Not sure if either are real options at the moment, but if given the choice what do I do? Not farm to pay off debt and come closer to owning a farm or farm living paycheck to paycheck with no farm in sight.

Live for today or plan for tomorrow?

Farming is one of the most important key occupations.  Health, education, food, safety etc. How are the necessary occupations the lowest paying?

I'll never understand how celebrities are paid more than soldiers or athletes more than teachers.

Come on America.

Pork loin roast?

I have no idea what I'm doing.

I raise them not cook them!

Hope I do my pig justice.

Tips and tricks please.

Assume I know nothing...because truly I don't.

Have another roast in the freezer so I can pick one of your recipes and try it next time.

Help!

My Uncle Dane

Speaking on real threats (wolves) to our own and countless innocent others (at the door).

Keep my brother in your thoughts. He is an Apache pilot in the Army and currently deployed. He turned 25 last Friday and is engaged to be married in May. He is a gem. Let his presence be successful and his safe return swift.

A tip

http://coldantlerfarm.blogspot.com/2014/11/passable-dragons.html?m=1

Remove the 3 bales from the truck, put in barn or under some roof.

Use hay tarp for wood.

Don't you see it!?

Acorn Collecting

A landless farmer harvests the bounty of the woods. I'm an acorn collecting fool.

Acorn flour, acorn oil, oak gall ink, pig treats, wildlife food over winter months, crafts, spirits...you name it an acorn can provide it.

I have my eye on an oil press and nut shucker but need to focus on my debt first.  I've been encouraged to do a kickstarter campaign, but am not sure I'd enjoy it as much with the pressure to produce or succeed.

In good time.

Mark my words...

Acorns and hemp will soon make their comeback. Step aside corn and wheat, acorns are about to blow your minds!  The Indians knew what they were doing.

Geography "son"!

Interview yesterday...GIS desk job.

Not ideal but need to dig myself out of 5 months not working.
