Time to Go

After many months of agonizing, it has become clear that we must leave the high mountain farm. Until then, I will try to do updates. If interested in the farm contact Lunsford realty in Burnsville, NC.

Snow is coming down

It's May in January!

It feels like May instead of January and the animals are really enjoying it. I tried to upload a video from the phone but it refuses to play so I had to revert back to pictures from this morning. Mr. B and I have been cleaning up a little and had the windows and doors open all day yesterday. When you burn wood like we do, the inside of your home is always dusty. On the other hand, we are so used to the wood heat that we freeze when we visit someone who has gas or oil. Wood heat is so much warmer feeling.

What a wonderful morning it is here on High Mountain Farm. The animals are out early and it's 43F.

Feeding Time

Feeding time on High Mountain Farm is at exactly 4:00pm ET. No, our animals don't have a battery operated watch but their internal timing circuits work without any external aid. They gather at the fence about 20 minutes early and patiently wait for someone to bring FOOD.

Remember to give your animals extra food during cold weather. I pour any left over grease into their food to add fat and scrape all leftovers into their bucket.

As you can see, it's snowing again and the temperature has fallen to 27F but the ol' wood heater is cranked up and the house is a toasty 75F.

After I let the chickens out this morning, I took the time to snap a photo of the rooster guarding his hens while they were eating.

Weather Update From High Mountain Farm

For those of you who are wondering about the weather up here today, all I can say is Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The high is 23F and it is about 1:30pm The wind and snow have been ferocious. Mr. B went out and gave the goats some hay in their feeder. They hate it when it rains or snows because they don't like to get their feet wet. I know that sounds strange but it's true and they're all the same way. You can barely get them out of the goat house when the weather is bad. They just stand at the door and cry.

If you look closely at the picture to the left, you can see The Dawg standing about the middle looking toward the house. The Great Pyrenees don't seem to mind the cold and they have lots of fur to help keep them warm and dry.

December 21;The Beginning of a New Era

 I believe in being prepared for life not death. Even the Mayans say tomorrow will not be the end but the beginning of a new era. Read Below

 "It's an era. We are lucky to see how it ends," says wood carver Santos Esteban in Yaxuna, a sleepy village of fewer than 700 Mayans, located in a territory that once belonged to the ancient kingdom founded around 2000 B.C."  From an article on cnn.com

The Mayan Calendar is complicated and I am not going to get into the intricate details. Click here to review Wikipedia information page on this subject.

The bottom line here is that people have stopped preparing for tomorrow and only live for today. Many people don't have enough food or water to survive for a week without assistance from an outside source but they have every modern convenience to make them comfortable today.

Another Beautiful Morning

I am always in awe of the morning's first light as seen from my porch on High Mountain Farm.

Super Egg Update

Recently, we had a huge egg which had been lain by one of our Rhode Island Red Chickens and yesterday I decided to crack it open and see what was inside.

I was really careful tapping it on the side of the counter because the shell looked fragile but no problems and it opened right up to reveal High Mountain Farm's First Double Yoker!
