A couple of people visiting the weekend property up the road knocked on the door this evening to tell me they’d found an injured lamb caught in the fence. So I grabbed a few things and followed them on the quad bike.

Turned out they’d already freed it from the fence and it hadn’t been able to stand up and walk away. Bad sign. Worse sign: maggots in a large wound behind the ear.

Me: oh no, I think the poor thing’s done for
Visitor, plainly too invested in this rescue: why can’t you just get the maggots out?
Me: ummmm

Guess who just spent half an hour with a head torch, a bottle of antiseptic, and a pair of tweezers? Not the freaking visitor, that’s for sure.

Anyway, I’ve cleaned the wound, managed to get it to drink, and put it undercover. I really don’t think it’ll survive the night, but at least it’ll die slightly more comfortably.

(Not to go all forensic pathologist, but the size of the maggots indicate it had been trapped for at least a few days)

Apparently, this collection of ingredients made for an awesome risotto/rice that I’m going to call “Impossible Risotto”

I’m going to give you a step by step, but sadly it was so tasty we didn’t photograph the finished product!

Ingredients:

- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped or crushed (add more if you like garlic like I do)
- Two apples, cored, peeled and sliced
- One parsnip, peeled and chopped. You could use a carrot if you want, instead, or some other root veg.
- Assorted fresh veg ( I used a handful of French beans, chopped, a handful of sporting broccoli, and about a half cup of fresh corn).
- A cup of stock, prepared. I used some chicken bouillon because I didn’t have vegetable, but do whatever works!
- two impossible brats, chopped.
- Enough rice for two people. (To taste) use whatever rice you have.
- Fresh rosemary and sage to taste.
- Salt and pepper to taste.

Yesterday I stopped working at Thrunton Farm. We move on the 3rd, so had to stop somewhere, lots of packing to do, gate to rehang, etc.

I couldn't finish some of the wall but there is enough built to support the bank under the road until someone else takes over.

Mixed emotions. Very much looking forward to living in a very different environment. Never left a job unfinished though, feels uncomfortable. Farmer is just happy that I did as much as I could, left on the best of terms. #CountryLife

What was suppose to be a quick morning trip to the blueberry apiary to pick a few buckets of berries and support our local farm turned into a 5 hour slog. It involved them not taking interact, out-of-order ATMs, massive road construction delays, long drive, more road construction delays, 2 trips across a small ferry and back.. But still, worth it to support local food producers. I'm hot and tired now, got nothing else done. Tea time. In future, I think I'm going to just use more cash.

No more than a handful of peaches from my trees this year. The trees that have survived, that is. Maybe it's just getting too hot in the Florida panhandle to grow them anymore.

I certainly miss the #CountryLife, growing up about an hour south of #yeg! Hopefully the mosquitoes aren't making for unwelcome guests.

I wondered why few birds were coming to our feeders last evening. When we checked our camera we discovered why. The neighborhood red-tailed hawk had been sitting and hoping to catch a meal.

Shining Tree

I never regret getting up early and being outdoors, soaking up a sunrise somewhere, especially when I come across scenes like this one.

Our little cherry tree, planted January 2020, finally produced cherries this season - we only got perhaps a half-dozen but they were lovely.

#CountryLife #gardening

My sister and I inherited a farmhouse back in the summer so once we wrap up Christmas here at the house, I’m hitting the road for two days of working on the farm. Hoping to get the place livable before summer so we can all bring our kids out here for family weekends! #JoinIn #farm #countrylife #ohio

We’re quite isolated and don’t get unexpected visitors (normally). And we have a long glass front but face trees and don’t need curtains for privacy (normally). And we have a dog who barks when she hears cars coming over the front hill which gives us plenty of warning (normally).

You can see where this is going.

Crystal barked two seconds before the unexpected visitor knocked on the glass. I had to cringe behind the kitchen counter while Jedi waving at my discarded jeans on the sofa (FYI this did not work).

WELL MIGHT SHE LOOK GUILTY

Some of us are still getting to know each other onhere, so I thought I’d share something about me. I once moved a big four square farmhouse ~20 miles and set it down in a new farmyard. #farming #oldhouse #Minnesota #countrylife #crazynotcrazy

In this lesson on “How to Communicate with Minnesotans” we will examine the other one finger salute. It’s used by rural residents to signal, “hello and yes I see you driving” to oncoming folks you recognize. #minnesota #rural #agriculture #countrylife #mastodon
