  Aug 23, 202635 minS7

  Yay! Cataract procedure appears to be successful for Blind Hog. Already he is noticing improved vision. Hot damn! Meanwhile on the farm, the hay field re- fencing project is now compete. Acorn's shoulders are saying "praise be" to that. Now Acorn can refocus attention to the garden which has rapidly gone wild. Surgery follow up and meeting with service peoples at the Springfield house next week, giving the goats a bag of feed instead of the protein blocks, working in the garden and letting Blind Hog rest up as his eye heals. Oh! And Acorn has a new handicraft! Sashiko Japanese stitching- is most fun and a very cool way to mend fabric with a long history.

  Season 7 Episode #32~ Back to Fencing...

  Aug 9, 202634 minS7

  Finally back to the refencing project, Acorn sees the light at the end of the tunnel. Less than two weeks to get the project completed before Blind Hog's cataract surgery. Heat, cold, rain and heavy dew have not been kind to the goats but "we see this..." Acorn calls it "summer pneumonia" and it can take a goat in less than 48 hrs. Good news is that the majority of the herd look great. If Acorn could just clone the 12 or so who look superb... Tomatoes coming in splendidly, purple martins have fledged and fled, hummingbirds drinking more than 1/2 gallon of syrup a day now. Guinea keets growing like weeds and the first of the second batch are hatching. Not a bad week at the farm!

  Season 7, Episode #31~ 71F for the High in August???

  Aug 2, 202636 minS7

  VERY Unusual start for August, but Blind Hog and Acorn are not complaining. After a few days of rain, the farmers were able to get out and about and start clearing brush and overhanging limbs on the west fence line. Blind Hog got his cataract evaluation and will be getting a new lens in mid August. Yay! The MD used a laser and cleared crud from behind the replacement lens in his left eye, and it is now brighter! Guinea peeps have hatched from batch 1... Six keets, but the unhatched keet that got thrown in the trash then found to still be alive is a bit slow, not sure it it will make it. We will see...

  Season 7, Episode #30~ Hot and Cold...

  Jul 26, 202633 minS7

  Weather was really hot, cooled down, now is hot again. Sounds like perfect summer pneumonia for the goats. Currently 96F with heat index of 116F. Fencing continues- Blind Hog and Acorn pulled fence and took down more of the old fence in preparation for the new. All is going according to plan. Outdoor chores are done in the morning, afternoons spent inside. Heat has brought up the okra and beans in the garden, fig tree is nigh 7-8' tall now! Acorn resurrected the sourdough starters and last night made croissant dough, baking a batch of croissants this morning plus " pistachio pastry cream" filled pastries. Eye-rolling good. Sam has been catching rabbits. Blind Hog has had a few annual MD visits, all good there. Next week he sees the cataract dude.

  Fencing continues, even while Blind Hog was enjoying unlimited cookies and candy during his jury duty! Ha! The case was done in a day so he should be off the hook now. Wood posts are now set with their floating braces. After a couple days of settling in, the woven wire fence can be rolled out. Unusual rains continue, great for the field and garden, but goat parasites are just awful this year. Nannies pulled down, kids not happy. Deworming as needed, plus supplementing with protein. "We see this..." Beans coming in, still waiting on the first ripe tomato. Have 35 guinea eggs incubating now thanks to neighbor Colleen... Going to be hot and humid through the end of the month. It is summer , after all...
