I’ve been told I should make sure to add warnings before I post certain things, so I’ll start with that. Towards the end of this post, there are pictures of a dead bird.
Aside from that, during my morning rounds, I did get photos of Two Face. Her wound is healing quite nicely. You can hardly tell where it is, if you’re not looking for it!
Continue readingFirst up, I just wanted to let people know that Two Face’s injury was looking really good today. It was hard to see it, not only because she wouldn’t stop moving, but because the fur around the injury is cleaner and fluffy enough to hide the patch of missing fur, almost completely. We did apply an antibiotic cream to it last night, but that was more of a just-in-case, than a need.
She is going to be just fine.
The rest of us… not so much, it seems! LOL
Continue readingPart of my morning routine, after I’ve done my rounds and switched out the memory cards on the trail cams, is to review what the cameras recorded.
It’s not unusual for me to see things they recorded that we miss completely, otherwise. Like all the deer that go past one of the cameras while we are in bed.
Every now and then, though, I catch something that I should have seen myself, but somehow missed!
Like the top line of barbed wire on a fence being damaged!
Continue readingI was able to get a bit of time to continue cleaning in the old part basement this afternoon.
Progress wasn’t quite what I was hoping to get done, though.
Continue readingYesterday was our day to do our monthly shop, which always makes for a long day. We actually decided not to do a full shop, though, and will go back later in the month. Specifically, we didn’t get all the cat kibble and litter we usually do. It gets really hard to pack the van with groceries with so many bags and boxes taking up space!
I’m really enjoying the longer daylight hours, too. It was still daylight when we came home!
We were greeted with gorgeous views in the morning, too.
Continue readingWe got some things done over the last couple of days, but I’m not quite sure there has been progress on some of them! :-D
Continue readingToday, I went back to finish up that last corner of the basement section I was working on yesterday. Altogether, I only put in an hour, and the rest will have to wait.
Continue readingWith the warmer weather we’ve been having, I noticed something about the ice that had build up on the bird bath. The warmed concrete had melted the ice touching it, and a gap had formed.
I took advantage of that.
Instead of cutting a bowl into the ice for water, I was able to chop away the build up of ice, without damaging the bird bath itself.
Once the edges were clear, the middle part came out in very satisfying chunks!
I cleared enough that the brick could be used by the smaller birds to reach the water.
Another sign of spring on the way!

The Re-Farmer
There were so many things I found while clearing the corner of the basement that, though I didn’t even get pictures of all of them, I had to give them their own post!
I really, really wonder about some of the stuff I uncovered!
Let’s get started!
Continue readingPhoto heavy post ahead! :-)
Today, I started cleaning up in the old part basement. Since I would have to move things to clean under them anyhow, I decided it was time to finally do the proper clean up I was intending to do, later in the year.
I started in the half of the basement near the septic pump, since that’s where the biggest mess was. Slowly, I’ll work my way over to the other half, where the tanks, well- and sump-pumps are, as well as the space that used to hold firewood. There are now two broken hot water tanks stored on that side, so while there’s less there to clean up, it’s got the big stuff.
