Rabbits are cool, but there are definately some things I wish I had understood better before getting mine. I intentionally breed my rabbits for wool and meat production, so some of what I have to say may not apply to everyone or to all reasons for having rabbits. But I hope this list helps someone!… Read More 5 things no one told me about rabbits
Today is the day when I celebrate God’s desire for a relationship with us. A desire for relationship so great that he was willing to put to death his own son – part of himself – to have it. Since the beginning of time, since God created the universe and all that is in it,… Read More It’s Resurrection Day!
After my post about shoes, I got to thinking about my wardrobe. I have many more choices in my clothing than I do in my shoes. In fact, I have so many roles each day, and each role requires a different type of clothing, that I find myself changing clothes multiple times. That can be a lot… Read More Clothing – and the associated laundry
If there is one thing you have to deal with on a mini-farm, it’s poop. Dog poop needs to be picked up from the yard – if you don’t want to end up skating on your tush after stepping on it. Cat poop needs to be scooped from boxes before the cats throw it out… Read More Poop!
One thing I do miss from my former surrounded-by-rectangles life is my shoes. I have many shoes. MANY shoes. Mostly heels, in many styles, colors, and fabrics. And I love them all. But heels don’t exactly fit in my new lifestyle! Can you see me wearing any of these favorites of mine out in the grassy-muddy… Read More I miss my shoes
You might be saying “OK, so you’re trying to live without rectangles. Why write a blog about it?” Good question. On the one hand, this is just a personal thing. I’m tired of rectangles and glad to be away from them. Living a life in more of nature and less of artificiality is something I’m… Read More So why a blog?
Have you ever noticed how the workers in the business world are all surrounded by rectangles? The desks are rectangles. The cubicles – obviously – are rectangles. Even the items on our desk or screen are rectangles. Paper is rectangular in shape. PowerPoint is based on rectangles. Word documents are obviously rectangles since they are… Read More About the blog
(Originally posted Mar 23 2012) As I type this I’m in bed, sick. I’ve been sick since Tuesday (today is Friday). Probably the flu with the addition of a stomach bug at the same time. Horrid. 103 degree fever. So I haven’t done anything at all since Tuesday except lay in bed and make trips… Read More The day the mailman saved the chickens (aka Hope noone had a video camera)
(Originally posted Jan 2012) This is turning into “my blog of things I get from Craigslist”. I’ll have to see what else I can post about. I recently sold my last four chickens, for $40. That was the last of the 20+ free chickens I got in the fall, and the only ones that were… Read More More free stuff from Craigslist – I’ve turned in to a Chicken flipper!
(Originally posted Nov 17 2011) And before I forget, this weeks’ freebies from Craigslist includes ~60 lbs of Walnuts. I picked them up from the ground, after dark, with a flashlight, and with the homeowner who I’d never met before. It was a riot. Ever played hide-and-seek in the dark as a kid? It felt… Read More Walnuts after dark
