Today, the ceramic terrarium heaters we ordered came in, so when we had the chance, my daughter and I opened up the cat house to put it in. For some reason, I thought the light was mounted on the frame, not the roof! This is a waterproof light fixture of the sort that's meant to … Continue reading Working on the cat house

Forgot about that…
Yesterday, while working on the squash beds, I was thinking ahead to working on the beet and carrot beds today. Braveheart (front) and Nostrildamus (rear) both allow me to pet them, and even skritch their ears now - but only after I've provided them with kibble in the morning! Forgetting completely that today was our … Continue reading Forgot about that…

While I was de-stemming the crab apples and cutting off any nasty bits, they took care of sanitizing the gallon jugs and the various items that would be needed. They usually did … Continue reading I am such a goof: crab apple cider vinegar reboot!

Forget a post, getting one from the City Mouse
So I am chatting with Re-farmer, old school on 2 landline phones. She has asked me to let you all know that her internet is not connecting with the rest of the world.

I hope this works
Posting may be sparse for a while. We have no internet. No signal, all day. I am currently writing this on my phone, while sitting in the corner of the living room that gets enough data signal to send and receive text. Barely. So I hope publishing this post works! The Re-Farmer
