Whoooo hoooo the lightning bugs are back. Not officially summer, but darn nice to see them sparkling in the night sky. A few solar lamps in a sea of yellow mating dance going on.

Beautiful view off of the farm porch this morning. Chance of rain, fluffy clouds and zero chemtrails! Rose bush in full bloom with hundreds of red flowers. Air smells sweet. Thanks God for the many blessings.
Life is good.

Yes, it looks like our apple trees survived the frost. The grapes- well, we’ll have to wait and see.
Just another day as a farmer.
Possum Captured! Photo

Caught the possum, finally! Something has been digging up under the footer of our house. The steps have started caving in that’s how much digging this bugger has done. We were expecting a groundhog. Put apples w peanut butter, cherries but it was the cantaloupe that the possum could not resist. This thing hissed like no tomorrow, showing teeth and salivating all gross.
So now what? Kill it? Thinking as a marsupial it’s got babies. Shit. What are the possum rules? Sure as hell not going to eat it.
Called a farmer friend said we could release it in the middle of his 1000’s of acres. Ha, I wanted to spray paint his ass orange so if it came back we’d know it was the same possum. Figures no paint.
Anyway, it’s getting a truck ride this morning. Now someone has to fix my steps and a whole lot of holes around the house. That would be me. Ugh.
Adios possum.

A peaceful start of the day until this goose starts making a racket. We snuck up her nest and was none to happy. Ah nature on a farm.
Oh and check out the clematis- full of blooms!
Calm Before The Storm, Photo

Right now there is calm before the storm on the farm, but it’s not going to last long by the looks of the sky. Rumbling noises abound and a wallop of a thunderstorm is imminent.
We need the rain though, May has brought only one inch so far. Much to our dismay weather forecast is calling for a chance of frost. The other farms have one inch high corn and while we’ve held off planting, they have to be nervous. Our fruit trees are blooming and flower beds planted. Pray no frost!
Can’t imagine those folks in Oklahoma what the sky must have looked like. Might head to the basement just in case. Stay safe friends.

Spring on The Farm

A week ago it was snowing and now it’s been raining cats and dogs w/ mild temperatures in the 70’s. Its also been mighty foggy! At least we still have electricity.
We need the rain in the farm belt, the fog we could do without. Gives ya a creepy feeling when ya hear critters moving about and can’t see them. Firearms handy in case of a rare coyote. It’s also spring turkey season! We can hear them but haven’t seen them either.
We’re keeping an eye on the gun rights battle and politicians who don’t embrace The Constitution they were sworn to uphold. Used to be no big deal to see shotguns on a rack in the back of pickup trucks. No more. When one assumes everyone has a firearm you certainly tread softly and knock loudly!
A few brave neighbors have begun to till their farm land. Based on the number of earthworms as an old wives tale indicator, the soil is balanced and indicates an early planting season. No one is planting just yet tho as we all know there is always a frost risk through the end of May. Even w a frost, we hope to open the swimming pool mid May, in time for the Memorial Day events.
We await the weaning of two Nigerian Dwarf Pygmy goats and hope they get along w the rest of the brood. Our mini horse is pretty feisty so we will have to keep a special eye out. Oh, and we have another litter of kittens! Don’t get us wrong, they are cute but the burden of city people just dropping of cats in the country is rude. We have also added a pet rabbit for the children. None of our parents never saw fit to raise animals that you weren’t going to eat or ride. We are so making up for that!
The ponds are near full from Winter so if we have a drought or the zombie apocalypse occurs, we’re good. The blue pond colorant has been added to help w algae and mosquito control. There are fish jumping and our nemesis the great blue Heron has returned. Bastards eat 10 pounds of fish a day. As a protected species it’s off to jail if you kill them so our solution is, of all things – a cap gun. Noise scares them to another farmers lake.
Farming is a lot of work and Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate, but it’s worth it!
Have a great day. One day it will be your last so make it count.

Looking for Goats
Posted in Ahrcanum, Secrets, Lies, & Truth, tagged 4H, Ahrcanum, animals, farm, farmer, farming, goats on February 8, 2013| Leave a Comment »
Last week one of our Pygmy goats died. The goat’s twin sister actually cried as we removed her carcass. Sad. And sad we invested so much love, time, feed and vet costs.
Finding a replacement goat for 4H is not easy. Most goats are born by April 1 and promised to pending buyers.
So the search begins. Then we find this report out of a goat being arrested after a theft. What the…
