The Jowett Farmstead: April 2011
http://milesofmanure.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. A Dinosaur Egg for Easter. On Easter, one of our Easter Egg'ers (so correctly named) laid the largest egg I have ever seen! The poor thing had a bloody and sore rear end, not shocking after seeing such large egg come out of such a small chicken. She has not done it again and I am sure she is relieved about that! Just so you understand the size, I have placed a regular, full sized egg next to this one:. Monday, April 18, 2011. The Turkeys Are Now Free-Ranged (kinda). The thing I fi...

The Jowett Farmstead: December 2010
http://milesofmanure.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 30, 2010. It's Winter on the Farm. After being snowed in three weeks in previous years, its safe to say I properly stock up the house for all of us. From October through March, we always have at least three weeks plus of rations for all members of our house: whether human or not! Here's the homestead around 1:30 or so when we arrived home from running a few last minute errands and stocking up for the weekend on Wednesday. Every household she have duck tape if you ask me! But here me ou...

The Jowett Farmstead: Lessons on the Farm
http://milesofmanure.blogspot.com/2012/05/lessons-on-farm.html
Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Lessons on the Farm. Today, the girls have learned two very important lessons about living on the farm and it's only 9:30am:. 1) How to dispose of the chicken that the coon got ahold of yesterday, since we found it this morning during the morning egg check. The key to this task is to hold your breath and move very, very quickly. If you follow our numbers, were down to 3 chickens now. Urrrggghhhh! Did I mention that we were are having beef for a few days! View my complete profile.

The Jowett Farmstead: Chapter 13: Teenagers
http://milesofmanure.blogspot.com/2012/03/chapter-13-teenagers.html
Saturday, March 24, 2012. Pre-Teen: "Mom, I can't wait to be 13! Pre-Teen: "Cause at 13 I will be a real teenager.". Oye, don't remind me child! Why is 13 such a mile stone? There must be something in history that our society believed that 13 is such a grand number. Maybe it has to due with Judaism and the belief the a boy becomes a man, girl becomes a woman, at age 13? Maybe it was the age hundreds of years ago where a girls father could sell her for a goat or a cow? How is this possible? Was I that bad?

The Jowett Farmstead: June 2011
http://milesofmanure.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 30, 2011. Wow, has it really by 6 weeks since my last post. I have a ton to bring everyone up to speed about the farm, but at least for this post, I will settle for photo updates of the turkey's. LOL He walks a little extra wobbly, but he is super fast when he wants to be and doesn't show any pain nor discomfort so he's fine. A little different, but just fine and dandy (and juicy too! He has to be different, he's my animal after all! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Jowett Farmstead: January 2011
http://milesofmanure.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. Where did January go? Wow, where did January go? A friend of mine just restarted her blog and it opened my eyes to the fact that I, myself, have not blogged in almost a month. Bad blogger BAD! January has been quite a month this year. We have had crazy weather! 8221; Between the wet and the soggy, the thought of spring is an amazing dream to say the least! The way Dover makes their dog coats is similar to the wonderful quality of a horse blanket so it’s a prefect option! 8221; I...

Friday, March 25, 2011. This is the pretty sight I see every morning when I wake up. It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't hog all the covers! Monday, March 21, 2011. Observation 1: The goats are quite happy now in their perminent structure/field. Observation 2: Chickens are worse at digging holes and under the fence than the dog! Observation 3: The garden smells soooooo much better than it did when the goats were in it. Observation 4: "Pre-teen" did not inheriate my organizational skills. These signs are ...
