ozarks homesteading

Wellllllll, FIFA World Cup has certainly taken the attention of the farmers, and when the mornings are brisk, it is far too easy to toss another log on the fire and delay chores for just a wee bit longer...

Cranberries have been processed, geese waddle around and still no goat kids yet. Cows and two calves still need to come home from the east field- figuring it won't be too much ;onger and Acorn does not want any goats kidding way up there.

The bucks are segregated once again, living their "lonely life" next to the other goats, but they have a nice paddock with tall forage, and excellent shelter. Their wailing falls on unsympathetic ears- both human and caprine.

Blind Hog and Acorn are slogging along, one better than the other.  Farm chores wait for no one and things just chug along.

Happily, there is light at the end of the Covid Tunnel and both have been taking walks again in the morning, not like they are totally laid out flat...

Canning up the last of the tomatoes and okra, green beans about done.  Weather remains dry, garden has about had it.

Before the farmers went on their trip, Acorn sent a letter to the UK to a certain naturalist she fancies.  Today a response was waiting in the mail!  Whooooooooo!  Needless to say, the letter will get framed. #sciencenerd
