It’s time for animal tongues! Show me your tongues out furry friends.

Well the stress level is high and the hiring situation is grim, but I’m eating chanterelles from the forest and potatoes from my garden so that is winning.

Damnit, is Fiverr just a cess pool of scammers?

I was lucky enough to read a draft of this book and I highly suggest you buy. Travis is an excellent writer who knows how to craft a tale that grips you from the beginning. His characters are real in a way that you don't witness in every book. You instantly feel at home in his stories!

We’re having a 10/1 “we don’t have an income,” government shutdown, democracy loving sourdough pancakes this morning

A rare white chanterelles and Sasquatch’s donkey

These are the freshest, most lovely specimens of lobster mushrooms. Of course Little found them.

It took 2 years to fruit! We are celebrating our shitake log tonight.

The mud meter says it’s the wet season

I’m now on Fiverr. If there is something you think I would be good at doing as a gig, please advise!

Feeling really stressed and fighting depresh, but look at the 1st tomatoes we’ve been able to grow since moving to Washington! Simple joy

Smoke from the Bear Gulch fire. We walked 1.8 miles but it burned my lungs. #OlympicNationalPark

Proof of life: I don’t know guys, maybe eating an apple sprinkled with chicken poop is the secret to beauty because I’m not only alive but I’m having a great hair day.

I read some of the Amelia Earhart files. It was crazy that her last radio transmission was her asking for the release of the Epstein files.

I’m so tired I just picked up a groundfall apple, ate it, and THEN realized it had fallen into the chicken 💩 from where the tractor passed this morning. Omg, it was nice knowing you. I’ve just taken every probiotic food in the house

…and I’m still working today. Started at 5:30am and just came in at 6:30 pm with about 200lb apples.

@revbug.bsky.social I can’t remember Beloved’s handle and I would like some raw wool advice. This is Border Leicester lambswool. Staple length is about 3 inches. Can I sell it? Where? It’s unwashed obviously

1st, I move the tractor 2nd, I rake where they pecked and cast cover crop winter grazing seed of rye grass and vetch 3rd, I fence it so the sheep don’t eat the grain they’ll want as grass in a few months Follow me for more tips on how to work your butt off before 8am on Saturday morning

Scoundrels!

Some shepherd I am. Ruffians!

Good morning from the Orchards at Funny Farm. I’m moving the sheep pasture fence and hear my young rooster beginning to crow.

Applied for a college essay editor contract position! I’ve written recommendations for students entering Columbia,Duke and Georgetown plus I happen to have a writing sample from my manuscript for them! I can do this!

In case you need a sweet young voice being kind to a tiny animal

I used to have a glass of wine with friends in the city and here I am sitting in my kitchen with a chick whose maimed leg I splinted just damn delighted she is recovering

@renninga.bsky.social we have an injured chick and now my cats get to see a birdie up close

There I was in the garden re-planting cabbage the sheep ate when who shows up but the same gang of 4 woolen ruminants. “Carl,” I yelled. “Little,” I cried for help. Help did not come while I dashed about waving my arms and shooing the raiders from atop my beets and kale.

Paging @christenrexing.bsky.social what happened to me, I ran 3 miles yesterday?

Love it so much when marketplace buyer scammers put the pressure on “I am leaving today and need it today but maybe you don’t even want to really sell it if you did you’d let me come right now.” No

Hey It’s critical to connect with good people in your life right now (even though everything is always terrifying & people spend spoons) Resistance is running forward. We win by being unstoppable in building the communities we want to see.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

PUPDATE. THE CHILD IS GAINING WEIGHT NOW THAT HER CHOMPER WORKS. Soon, she will be up for adoption! Athens, keep an eye on the website for Princess Donut. You can submit an adoption form early btw. My forest child deserves a good home If you can, please donate to athenscaninerescue.com

On schedule the rain began at dark. When at dusk each day I lead the flock to the barn I’m noticing that darkness is coming much earlier. A time of year to keep a headlamp in a chore coat by the door. It’s enriching to be responsible for these 35 animals.

A splotch of sunlight and making a nest of dad’s sweater

I made this recipe to freeze when we had a newborn.It was the 1st thing I ate when we brought Little home. Yesterday I made it with lamb we raised. A complex dish, so many parts. Food that transports.

Moving the chickens. And cuddling the rooster

Love our National Forests

The single fear holding me back from publishing my book now is fear I’ll be sued somehow by someone at the VA, the government, the Army. I don’t use real names, or name his unit, but that fear grips me.

my mom,in all her anxiety she (I kid you not) calls, “good vibes,” is second guessing all of my and @carl-gustav.bsky.social decisions regarding unemployment from the federal government and giving lots of free, unhelpful advice. Turn it toward your Freedom Caucus congressman, mother!

Sheep left the orchard. Now the chickens pass through.

At Funny Farm, there are always snacks

Putting into the universe that I would be excellent at caring for someone’s hobby farm here on the Olympic Peninsula when they’re are living their full-time life in the city. ✨manifest that✨✨

Woot! Guess who got a vendor table?!
