  1. Alpacas & goats are doing fine in the cold. I give them extra feed for extra calories to burn, but it looks like they are putting on weight.
  2. Today is looking a lot like yesterday. Blue sky, cold, soil crunches when you walk. Last night's low temp was 16.5 at about 6 am.
  3. Overnight low temp at the farm was 17 from 5 to 5:30 am. Heated water for the critters to drink. A beautiful day, if you are dressed for it.
  4. Today's temp at the farm peaked at about 2pm at 36.8. Now is at 27 and dropping.
  5. Fedco Seeds http://fedcoseed.com catalog is here! A must-have catalog from a Maine co-op. Great catalog, great selection, great seeds.
  6. Blue sky, frozen soil. One good thing about the deep freeze is the mud is all frozen. It stays put instead of following me inside.
  7. Ccccold again. Caught a brilliant view of the Olympic Mts.
  8. Not ready for caroling yet, but wife & son are performing, so I'm going.
  9. Freezing night again. Was blue skies all around earlier, now low dark overcast has crept in from the west. Now hilltops are all fogged in.
  10. New seed catalog today. Johnny's Selected Seeds. One of my favorites.
  11. RT @ReadersToEaters: R2E Meetup tonight-Tim Egan reads THE WORST HARD TIME @Redmond Library.How mkt-driven farmng creatd biggest dust st ...
  12. Long freeze last night. White frost crystals on the black alpaca's back demonstrate the insulation ability of alpaca fleece.
  13. Headed to Claire's to talk about plans for next year.
  14. Frosty morning still. Maybe this year we'll clean out the garage & stop windshield scraping.
  15. Farming on the urban fringe: Lawn crews are still adding 2 our massive leaf pile. Wonderful soil amendment saved from landfill.
  16. Gift idea? RT @archiemcphee Crazy Cat Lady Cat Food Scented Soap - Makes you smell amazing to cats! Humans, not so much. http://is.gd/59iCl
  17. Sunny day, beautiful blue sky. Great way to start the new journey.
  18. Closing in on the end of my last day as farm manager for The South 47 Farm. What's next? Stay tuned.
  19. RT @cdbaby: Give more music and spend less. Check out the $5 sale section at CD Baby http://ow.ly/HjkP
  20. Email asking the name of the pumpkin that "looks so creepy but tastes so good!" Galeux d'Eysines does make an excellent pie.
