The Re-Farmer blog is three years old today! "What are you looking at?" A few more weeks, and we'll be celebrating three years of living here. Three years and 2,324 posts! That's a lot of documenting our journey, and recording how things have been changing in our lives since moving out here. As of today, … Continue reading Blogversary! We’re three!

Long day, good day and a new toy! Still glad it’s over. :-)
Today was our day to do our monthly shop in the city. It went well, but my goodness, it's draining! 😀 Of course, my day started with my morning rounds and a visit with the outside kitties. 🙂 Which included an explosion of sorts! I was right by the heated water bowl, near the entrance … Continue reading Long day, good day and a new toy! Still glad it’s over. 🙂

Looking for peace
We have some happy kitties this morning! There's even two of them tucked under the kibble house. 🙂 I'm glad they like being able to do that! Since we are not using the sun room as a cat shelter this winter, we will not be putting the rigid insulation against the windows inside again. With … Continue reading Looking for peace

A little bit further
Let's start with some adorable kitties, having breakfast! They're just a great way to start the day! 😀 As for the rest of the day, things were just... tiring. I got a phone call early in the day. Well, any phone call at all is unusual for us. ;-D It was my older brother, letting … Continue reading A little bit further

Tired
Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest. Instead, I've just spent roughly 6 hours, going through old emails, video and image files, and transcribing voice mail messages. I'm not quite done, but that's it for digging through old stuff. If all goes well with my mom's car tomorrow, I'll be heading to court … Continue reading Tired

Cabbages’ Patch
The good news: more progress on Cabbages' socialization! She has been going around us more often, and the other cats are tolerating her more. Those that don't, she typically just ignores. It's rather funny when Fenrir hisses and growls at her, and Cabbages just looks at her with this "gives no f***s" expression! The bad … Continue reading Cabbages’ Patch

Procrastinating
I had quite the crowd greeting me when I headed out this morning! Of course, they immediately abandoned me, once there was food! 😀 I will have to be more careful when I do this. One of the spice boys slipped into the sun room without my noticing, and got trapped! Thankfully, one of my … Continue reading Procrastinating

I need some cat therapy
The kitties were very happy to see me this morning! Okay, so maybe is wasn't me they were happy to see, but the food I bring! The heated water bowl was partially frozen again, so I had to lift the roof to plug it back in. I'll have to go through my work station in … Continue reading I need some cat therapy

First year gardens: what worked, what didn’t
With snow on the ground and a chill in the air, we're already thinking ahead to what we can do next year. Since moving here, our long term goal has been to be as self sufficient as possible/realistic for our needs. Growing up here, my parents were subsistence farmers. My mother had a huge vegetable … Continue reading First year gardens: what worked, what didn’t

The kibble house is working – and creeper is creeping again
It started to snow last night, and continued all night. Where we live, it was still a light now - other areas got much more - but it was enough to be a test for the kibble house! The inside is completely free of snow. 🙂 Unfortunately, three of the containers were on the ground … Continue reading The kibble house is working – and creeper is creeping again
