Pre-Warp Speed

How we reached pre-warp speed so fast I have no idea. (What was pre warp speed called anyway – cruise? But Warp speed is on its way!)  But yesterday had everything happening at once. Thankfully I had Gracie and the Cadet to help out.… Continue Reading “Pre-Warp Speed”

Willy Nilly

When we got home from Rushville, Indiana, arriving with our lovely cargo of two corrugated iron huts for assorted animals (three hours there and three hours back), I found all the cats milling about on the barn table waiting for dinner. There is no point in… Continue Reading “Willy Nilly”

Lifting Gloom

Summer veg with bite marks

The garden decides the menu. The weather is so cool that the flowers are… Continue Reading “Summer veg with bite marks”

‘Tis a puzzle meant

You will all remember that Hairy MacLairy left the property to go to the big farm over the rise in mid January. Due to the high rate of problem deliveries I decided not to have any more lambs. So he went off to play with… Continue Reading “‘Tis a puzzle meant”
