Super Sunday

February 2, 2020 Mandi Musick

HELLO FEBRUARY Whew y'all....what a crazy start to 2020. January always feels like THE longest month of the entire year. This new decade kept that streak going. Anyone else also feel like time stops moving during those first 31 days? I have very few hours at my disposal to be active on the Farm right… Continue reading Super Sunday

Well, well, well

January 15, 2020January 15, 2020 Mandi Musick

Big things have been happening around the property this month. After many years of dealing with the old well that sits behind our farmhouse we have finally been able to have a new one dug! We have been dreaming of this day for so long. We always get a good laugh watching other Instagram farmilies… Continue reading Well, well, well

Ob la di Ob la da

January 12, 2020January 12, 2020 Mandi Musick

Back in the late 80's, early 90's, there was a drama series on television called Life Goes On. I can remember watching it every week, but honestly can't remember much about the show in general. But the last few days the theme song from that show has played on and on and on in my… Continue reading Ob la di Ob la da

4 vacuums, a spaceship and a cross

January 7, 2020January 11, 2020 Mandi Musick

Some how I currently have 4 vacuums. My mother-in-law purchased me a cordless Dyson v8 as a Christmas present. For my anniversary in September I had Tom buy me a new shop vac to use in our basement. Plus I already had two other vacuums I use on the main floor for every day use.… Continue reading 4 vacuums, a spaceship and a cross

Paradise

January 1, 2020January 1, 2020 Mandi Musick

We awoke this morning to a coyote howling as it passed by our little farmhouse. Of course when you share an abode with seven dogs during the colder months a huge ruckus of barking ensued followed by singing & howling inside for a good solid minute. Maybe longer. Not ready to climb out of our… Continue reading Paradise

In just a week’s time morning’s song on the farm changed tunes and the birds started singing promises of Spring 🙌🏻 I’m absolutely ready for more sunshine and longer days. Happy Saturday friends 🖤
I never knew being a Farmer’s wife would involve so much talking & conversating, and decision making. It’s constant and sometimes maddening and I will tell Tom I literally can’t use my brain and make any more decisions. And he ignores me and we keep discussing and making decisions together and talking things out. We have to talk soooo much from seed, to feed, from livestock to deadstock, from Farm to table, to the markets, and soil testing and pasture regeneration, farm restoration, to gardening, bee keeping, orchard growing, and to equipment purchases, selling & to producing, and growing, and building...to all our dreams still hanging on every year. That’s what we do in our marriage, and on our farm. We are spouses but also co-workers, employers & employees of each other and also business owners together. If we can’t communicate it doesn’t work. I’m extremely thankful the Farm and animals taught us how to figure all that nitty gritty stuff out. It’s made this hard journey easier. 🖤
For the last couple of months this gal has trekked from the barn to the farmhouse front porch to lay an egg almost every day, in the snow, in the rain and mud too. I applauded her commitment every time I saw her! But the line has been drawn this week with negative temps and blizzard like conditions. So she set up a new spot in an identical metal planter in the barn, except it’s full of crinkly feed sacks I keep forgetting to throw away. Today she let me know she is definitely not a happy camper and needs me to switch up the decor pronto until the weather changes again next week. 🖤 When did I start letting chickens boss me around so easily? 🤣
I really love that old red barn surrounded by snow 🖤❄️
There have been a couple sweet surprises on the farm so far this year. But there have been several losses as well. With livestock the two go hand in hand. Winter can be a harsh reminder. Little miss Jody was born 4 weeks ago and is quite the character to say the least. The laughter she has brought me has been a nice dose of medicine. She’s cute as a button but don’t turn your back on her! 🎀 Winter’s bitter cold snap is here, as it is for many of you as well. Prayers as you battle Mother Nature or whatever current season life is throwing at you this week! You’ve got this friend! 🖤
The itch to incubate eggs is driving me crazy this Winter! (Adds 2nd incubator to wish list 🙋🏼‍♀️🤫)
