I lost my best buddy this week - Cleo the cat. She woke me up almost every morning to be let outside at 2-3am, always coming back at 5-6am. One morning this week she did not come back. It took me a day to find her and it was not pretty...π§΅

It must be spring! Congratulations to Junebug for another healthy kid - and a girl this time! A great start to the Ostara celebration :)

Lttle lambs from last year, encountering something new.

Which is, of course, how many of our forebears did it.
And how many #SmallFarmLife people do it.
Thank you for sharing your hard-earned knowledge, Ethan.
Hi! Troubleshooting the goat cameras. These are fabulously handy tools for kidding season. I still wake up through the night to keep an eye on suspect does. But I just have to look at my phone. No need to trundle to the goat yard every 2 hours for checks.

Eartha is getting pretty rolly polly in her late stage pregnancy.

Big ol' pile of rabbit shit topped with some hay underneath a rabbit hutch. Some of the poop has been shoveled out.
Close up of a big ol' pile of rabbit shit topped with some hay underneath a rabbit hutch. Some of the poop has been shoveled out, and an overgrown garden bed can be seen in the background, bordered by cedar logs.
I love keeping rabbits - relatively inexpensive and easy to maintain (especially when our veggies are growing), provide us with clean, lean protein, and an endless supply of the best fertilizer in the world π±ππ©

The roost inside our chicken coop. My white Silkie is at the very edge looking to her right at her boyfriend, a tiny Bantam rooster with orange feathers that are scattered with white and brown speckles and a long black tail. He is squished up against a bird five times his size named Abby, who is a lavender orpington and is a silvery color. The way she is sitting makes her look extra fat but I promise she is a healthy weight.
Oh, no. Big Abby has stolen Dwayne "The Cock" Johnson away from Karen! Will the Bantam Power Couple be able to survive this betrayal?!
Stay tuned for As the Coop Turns...

Treats for the sheepies every morning. Lambing season will start any day now.

March-ing into the season of fresh produce! πππ₯¦ From juicy citrus to sweet strawberries and crisp broccoli, the bounty of March is here to brighten up your plate! π±

View of the south side of our new wood-framed barn, showing three oversized doors (one for each oversized stall) and an accompanying window opening.
Outside view of one of the stall doors, showing hinges and a horse-proof latch attached to a wood framed 48β x 60β door framed with 2x8 Douglas-fir.
Looking out through the same door, with slats of light showing through the gaps in the wall sheathing.
I built and installed three doors for the stalls in the new barn that we are building for our Clydesdale horses.

Rabbit Rabbit! Happy first day of March everyone (is it really March already?)! Spring is coming soon, warmer days ahead. Looking forward to new growth this spring! #SmallFarmLife π
A 3-tier metal & wire shelving system, being prepared for seed starting. 2 shelves have plastic sheeting covering them, and LED plant lights lay on the shelves, waiting to be set up. The windows behind the shelving unit look out to bright blue skies & plenty of sunshine.
An orange & white cat lays on a water-catchment tray on a shelf inside the small metal greenhouse that will be used for seed starting. He makes himself at home, cozied in the warm sunlight.
Stacks of black plastic plant pots sit on a clean stainless steel countertop, waiting to go into a hot, sudsy bath to be cleaned prior to being used this season.
Black plastic plant pots, upside down on a white towel, drip drying after being washed.
Spent the first taste of springtime-type temps of 2026 in the greenhouse, both stewing over the latest fresh hell that is the news today, and embracing the tradition of spring cleaning in preparation of starting fresh new life π±

BABY CHICKIES DAY 8!
In which we learn Big Mom is a treat dispenser and safe to be around.
(The audio is a meeting my husband was suffering through.)

CHICKY BABIES DAY 6!
Our injured baby is much better! Got some chick electrolytes with vitamins to help her heal better and regain full strength. They're so fun!

If people are interested, there is an updated farmstead picture gallery and blog tied to that gallery. I'm excited to share some farm-witch ritual, as well as all the rainbows and goobers of farm life. #smallfarmlife #ruralwitch #witch #goatwitch #tarottime

CHICKY BABIES DAY 5!
Don't worry; poopies got cleaned up right after this. The one struggling will be carefully monitored. No chicken keeper who regularly raises chicks can keep every single one alive, unfortunately.

I often notice bonded family groups with my San Clemente Island goat herd. I think these familial bonds are observed in many animal species. It is precious to watch a very pregnant Yrsa with her doelings Norma and Dorothy.

How many kids are cooking inside of Eartha? This lovely, and very vocal San Clemente Island goat kidded a single buckling when she freshened. After that she has consistently kidded twins. How many kids do you think she'll have in a month?

When I wake up I like a pound of bacon, start off the day with my arteries shakin'

Grizzly doesn't want any part of this rain/snow mix day. Though the ducks are having a blast going from puddle to puddle. #SmallFarmLife #Anatolian #Ducks

We are in the midst of lambing here in central Texas. 2 singles, twins and a set of triplets so far. The weakest triplet started fading so we brought it in as a bottle baby. Still weak but seems better. #GulfCoastNative. #SmallFarmlife.
Nothing is quite as cute as well coiffed rough collies. Look at that fluffy muffin butt! Hygge and Anders go to the Paw Spa just down the road. Grooming maintenance is a bit too much for me to keep up with on my own for these two.
