I had the electrolytes in Luna's water but I've run out since I cleaned out her water bucket yesterday... can't get anymore until I go to Orono (about 40 minutes away) since none of my local shops carry the electrolytes I use (and I know Luna likes). Mine are "fruit punch" flavoured ;) I can't...
Its not even the height of summer yet :( It'll get hotter and more humid. Its only May, we still have June, July and August to think about! Ontario is quite humid and hot in the summer... especially if you live down south in Southern Ontario but not south enough to get a lake breeze. On a lot...
And 31*C is about 87.8*F
First Nations are Natives. I was surprised that so few Natives live in Stirling, we're very close to 2 reserve towns (and actually one is a township with about 4 or 5 small towns in it). So out of the whole 4905 people in Stirling-Rawdon Township, only 120 are...
Okay, number one note for the day...
ITS 31*C OUTSIDE! WITH HUMIDITY AT 61%!
THAT my SS friends is RIDICULOUSLY hot and humid :( Poor Luna is just baking, some things delayed my run-in shelter so while she has a lot of shade down the end of her field, she won't go in it :/ so I've just put...
My chicken coop was WAY too big. In fact, we realized we had too many hens so we downsized to the 5 easter eggers and we get more than enough eggs for ourselves + a couple egg customers. I would never build as big as the building we had them in, way too much space and way too hard to clean...
Ohrly? I don't think it matters if you're selling from the farm gate. We cannot sell at the farm market without being graded and adhereing to health regulations, but if you sell from the farmgate only those things don't matter.
We bought cartons to begin with, but eventually people who bought eggs from us started bringing us cartons. Then one day a lady gave us about a years supply of egg cartons she usually gives to the mennonites LOL so now we have about 40 billion egg cartons. We've also been given card egg flats...
My dad started buying Kefir... I guess.. yogurt from his local shop (he lives in the city for work) and LOL it said on the side of the container to have like 2 tablespoons or make it into a drink... so he ate the whole tub.
Sigghhhh, he's addicted to it though.
Sadly what we found going to our Habitat store is that they cost the same, and in some cases even MORE than going to Home Depot or my locally owned build-all store. It wasn't worth the gas money, and if I wanted to help someone I could just donate money to Habitat.
I would suggest going to...
Yup! It was 2 puppies, both were Peaches' babies...
And the big doggie on the main website is our studly man (not really that studly LOL he's a big wimp) Nacho.
Haha both puppies ended up going this week. We just have our Gromit left now.
I had to fence in my garden LOL and the whole thing needs planting up even more because the chickens either killed some plants or they died off over the winter. I have lots of mulching to do, ugh, we have...
Woah, thats really low. Our usage is like... 29kwh, maybe even more...
And we pay a higher rate for being a farm too...
Now we have no insulation really on the main floor, and the tuck pointing needs to be redone and we need new windows because despite being double pane, they are old and...
I haven't been on here lately mainly because I've been busy with university prep stuff for the fall plus we've been ripping out and sourcing out things for the bathroom and we've commenced an epic clean up of the property so the whole front of the house is getting a facelift, the fields, and...
Spring is here! Weeee!
Peas are looking fantastic, mowing the lawn every freaking week, the crabapple down the driveway is in bloom!
The downside right now? We have 2 of our Miniature Labradoodle puppies left and no calls! I can't believe it! We had a ton of calls not even 3 weeks ago and now...
If it is heaves there are a myriad of easy things you can change to accomodate him and make him feel better. Number one is definitely hay and pasture situation. Horses with heaves do best on pasture 24/7-365 and on either soaked hay or a haylage type of product (we fed bagged haylage type hay to...
Heres a thought.. I have one duck in particular whose wings are too big for her body. She doesn't have angel wing and she can fly (well as far as buff orpingtons can fly LOL) but it appears her wings are too big! She's always having to hitch them up and the tips overlap when they're on her back...
We have the pully type as well, runs from the edge of the laundry room (*not* by the door funny enough, we didn't put it up.. the old owners did) about 80ft to the trunk of an old dead cedar at the other end of the yard.
