Cissy does not like her much. Asserting her dominance and all that but after this photo was taken Mione and Cissy were eating hay from the bottom of the feeder and April was eating it from around her feet. Pretty cute, but I suspect she'll be spending the night up there.

April is home now. She's a little skittish because today she was taken away from her mom today and she's in a new place and also she's from more of a commercial herd (but one that is better about socializing their goats than most). I can catch her if I corner her, same with Mione. I'm really...

Okay, the Skunk has been dispatched. We are leaving in about 20 minutes to pick up April. I'll post photos when we get home!

The european ones DO eat other fish.

Quail, there was one of the Wife Swap UK like that. The family owned a small farm, had horses and raised sheep, ect. and swapped with a mom that had all she ever wanted, a rich husband, and a spoiled son and was expected to clean all day.

Oh and not sure what to do with the skunk we caught last night in our havahart. He's a small bugger, he's down by the barn. Mum wants to poison him but we'd have to get close to do that and while he ran out of his special cologne a while ago, it seems he's back in action again (judging by the...

*shudders* Carp... I have horrible memories of the carp in the Bowmanville creek. Icky horrible things. Huge and evil looking. Kids used to walk across the rocks and taunt them until they got PO'd.

Here it is at the end of the day. It is far from being completely predator proof, so we're going to use our rock trick tonight and set rocks up on the sill. Mostly its predator proof though and Kevin and I will take turns staying up tonight to ensure the chickens are fine overnight. I would be...

Okay so far today we have pulled the roof off the chicken shed.. And put the frame for the new one up.. We still have to put the plywood up and make it as predator proof as possible for the night and clean out the shed and just generally clean up the area lol.

Omg the big huge enormous Christian lady? They've swapped her a few times for just the LOLS of the whole situation.

DEFINITELY the wooded areas are a big bonus. Our major concern is that when we do come to put a woodstove in (next year) we don't have a woodlot. Now it is very easy and not so expensive to order and have logs delivered, but in the time being we are stocking up what we have. We have a big old...

I love the Wife Swap UK. But I don't make a point of watching it. If its on, then I watch it. I much prefer to veg and watch Vampire Diaries :)

I wasn't sure where to put this so I'm putting it here. Someone asked about Tamworth Pigs in Ontario on BYH and I know of this farm in particular that has them. However, they have all kinds of awesome SS ideas and believe in the Slow Food Movement so I thought you guys would really like it...

holy attitude ~gd! Dolgo's are known best for their use in crabapple spreads and jellys as well as used in apple pies. We lived on a small homestead in North Eastern Saskatchewan where it was impossible to grow traditional apple trees due to the climate. The Dolgo trees were the only things to...

LOL shingles just disintegrate here over a couple years with our weather. Steel roofing costs a lot to begin with, but it saves so much in the long run. All of our outbuildings, the house and the garage have steel rooves. We're moving our little chicken shed next weekend. Mum determined we could...

I just finished watching it. I agree with most of the things the woman has taught her family, however I am not one of those that believes the world is going to come to an end. I also don't believe that we should be doing these things JUST because the world may come to its end.

Thats what I was thinking. I'm excited for the new roof to go on, it's going to look fantastic and we're recycyling old roofing tin from when we took down the drive-shed that was mostly falling down.

hwillm, we have a dirt floor "basement" too, except we have no access from inside. Well, we would if we could keep the hatch that is currently screwed shut but its in the middle of the bathroom floor lol. Has to go. Ours doesn't have potato bins, but we could probably put them in. Ours mainly...

I haven't posted to here in a while. Things got very busy with getting my funding for school set up and all that jazz. It's official, I am now a co-borrower on a loan for $24,000 for school (with my dad). Its unfortunate I had to get a loan but jobs in this area, especially part time, are few...

I've always loved Basset Hounds. I, myself, am not a dog person despite living with... 6 dogs LOL now. I prefer cats and always have but I think when I do decide to purchase a dog (and I probably will some day, its just a fact of life living with my dog crazy mum), I'm thinking I'll look into...
