A New Yogurt Making Tool!

February 13, 2021February 13, 2021 SidialLeave a comment

Among the small homesteading tasks I perform, I make Greek-style yogurt. I’ve done this for years now. (Here’s my previous post on how I make it: https://farm.firehazel.com/2019/02/24/yogurt/.) When I first started, I used regular coffee filters lining a strainer for straining the yogurt. After a while, I got frustrated with that, and acquired a HUGE… Continue reading A New Yogurt Making Tool!

Haven’t Forgotten I Have a Blog

February 11, 2021February 11, 2021 Sidial1 Comment

I haven’t forgotten the blog. It’s just been downright hell attempting to manage everything. You might notice the date of the previous update. There have been a couple of false starts on posts since then, but I’m usually pulled off to do any billion of other things. I will say that “virtual schooling” a very… Continue reading Haven’t Forgotten I Have a Blog

Been a While

March 29, 2020March 29, 2020 Sidial

Been a while since I updated here, for which I can only note that it’s been crazy. Caring for a newborn is a full-time job, and it wasn’t made easier by other goings-on. The indecisive weather caused a doe to mis-build her nest, and a litter was lost through no fault of hers. However, this… Continue reading Been a While

Trudging Along

January 22, 2020January 22, 2020 Sidial

The hospital visit went as planned, and pretty smoothly, all things considered. As a consequence, I have spent most of the last almost four weeks doing exceptionally little of note beyond being at the beck and call of a darling little boy. I’m still limited to 10 pound lifts, and I pay for it when… Continue reading Trudging Along

Count down

December 27, 2019December 27, 2019 Sidial

Assuming the hospital doesn’t reschedule on us, it is less than 12 hours until we head there for me to be induced with SP2. I’ve done all I can to prepare the homestead for me being gone for a couple of days, and my physical capabilities being diminished for a bit after I get back.… Continue reading Count down

Project Expansions

December 22, 2019December 22, 2019 Sidial

From a project standpoint, I routinely bite off a little more than I can chew. I’m also pretty bad about easing into new projects. So let us take a gander at what I’m working on now: You can see that the fodder is growing well enough. The two flats that are “full” will be fed… Continue reading Project Expansions

Fodder Take 2

December 11, 2019December 11, 2019 Sidial

It’s winter, regardless of what the official start date is. After more or less giving up — because of shelf vs size constraints, equipment not cooperating, mold, and just not having the brain power (concussion, pregnancy) to manage it, I am back to trying fodder for the rabbits. For one, the short days mean the… Continue reading Fodder Take 2

Not such a lovely day

November 30, 2019November 30, 2019 Sidial

But it’s not as cold as it could be, even if it’s an unending light rain. This last weekend was busy. I drove about 350-400 miles, split among three trips, for various reasons. First trip was to rescue to lovely Maine Coon sisters before their current family gave up and took them to a pound.… Continue reading Not such a lovely day

A lovely day

November 10, 2019November 10, 2019 Sidial

Today was lovely. Clear skies, no significant breeze, a balmy (relatively) 60F. I spent today using the lovely weather to finish up the winterization of the rabbits and chicken coop. Good thing, too. Tuesday, at 8am, it is forecast to be 14F, wind chill of 0F. I found this out about 2 or 3pm today,… Continue reading A lovely day

Winterization

November 9, 2019November 9, 2019 Sidial

My father spent last weekend visiting. One part of the visit was to see his granddaughter. One part of the visit was to help his pregnant daughter (that is, me) get some stuff ready for this terrible concept known as “winter” before the weather turns really bad. I will say right now: I don’t think… Continue reading Winterization
