TBT: Farm Life

Since the latest bout of fucking snow is coming down, BM and I have to cancel our Thursday dog sled team meeting. I can't get out of the driveway, and I'm certainly not driving down our unplowed road as it continues to snow its balls off.

Instead, I figured I'd do a post of some of my favorite pictures from when Hubby and I were farming in NY before we moved down here and became rural suburbanites. I swear that's a real thing.

we did a lot of relief milking for our fabulous neighbor.
the kelpie was always willing to help feed the calves.

my pygmy buck, napolean, ruled the homestead.

my exceptionally expensive pygmy mama and her twins.

just a goat in a truck.

hard working farm dogs.

baby goats with the wrong mamas.

checking the bee hives.

my brother on storm.

out of our entire raised bed, i grew one flower.

storm and napolean were besties. they were constantly harassing each other.

4' of snow in one day. bring it, pa.

proof we lived in the middle of nowhere: while we obviously had fencing,
storm and the goats had free rein of the entire property. 

storm helping bag and tag corn for the goats 

we bought him for me, but he liked men so much more. hubby rode him a lot.

my awesome pig barky drinking her morning goat milk.

she knew how to sit on command

the fat cat with his chickens and ducks.
