Uh... This is not something we ever see around here 🥶🌨️

JFC. Strap your kids in. Every time. Double check. Triple check. And stay off your damn phone.

Fuck it, stress baking and consuming way too many carbs. It's half whole wheat flour so healthy, right? 🍽️🥖

It may snow overnight but I'm still enjoying my sweet peppers (sliced and frozen) and chili peppers (sliced and pickled) from last summer's garden 🌱🍽️🫑🌶️🍕

"Perfect isn't usually on the menu, but better is better than worse" Hell yeah. Less beef, more beans. Small changes add up.

Smells good!

We've got garlic popping up 🌱

Breakfast of Champignons

Building software pays the bills, but building physical things is way more fun. This was an old smokehouse about 140 years ago, used to be our freezer shed, and soon will be my office. Nothing is square, straight, level, or plumb but dammit this is gonna look nice 😅

Slow cooked rabbit make an excellent filling for tacos, and using rabbit stock to cook the rice and beans adds that extra deliciousness. Tastes like chicken (but better!) #SmallFarmLife 🍽️

Happy New Year, y'all. Kale and pork from my backyard, black eyed peas from my neighbor who gave us the kale seeds. 🌱🍽️ #SmallFarmLife

Rabbit Rabbit! Happy New Year to everyone, may your 2026 be happy and healthy! 🐇 #SmallFarmLife

Finally getting around to streaming this! Pizza, wine, and Ian's (holiday) show 🎵

Richard for president

Hey @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social ~44-48 million in the U.S. have experienced long Covid. Risks increase with each new reinfection. Political leaders are dismantling public health more & more each day. I'm a big comedy fan but how is it funny to punch down to people who wear masks in 2025?

When I'm crawling under the house to run ethernet, maneuvering my body under/around duct work, pipes, wires, and fallen insulation, I feel like I look just like Catherine Zeta-Jones in that Entrapment scene with the lasers. Not too far off...

I don't love opening the grill cover but I HAD to see how it looked #SmallFarmLife #BackyardHogs 🍽️🐖♨️

11yo: Ugh the only cookies I can make are chocolate chip, I screw all the other ones up Also 11yo: 🍽️

If there’s one part of the Constitution and its Amendments that everyone in the US understands and holds sacred, it’s the First Amendment. Free speech may be the only value we all agree on. If you tell us something was censored, no matter what it is, we will trip over our feet running to see it.

One of these days I'll make a proper baguette. Until then, it's just pain d'pénis 🍽️🥖

This is a nice donation, but I’m old enough to remember when universal school meals was our nationwide policy across the United States of America, way back in the early 2020s. We can and should do that again.

Solstice sunrise and sunset over the farm 🌱 May the longer days ahead give us all hope for a better year.

Welp the google AI got a few things wrong (we were definitely NOT a Christian music group...) but I'll happily take songwriting credits and the associated royalties. Anyway, some joy through your ear holes from a much younger me and a few of my friends.

Ugh... Heat pump wasn't working, outdoor fan wasn't blowing, just pumping air over the aux heat coils. Tested all wires outside and under the house, everything seemed ok. Went back inside and discovered the google thermostat had lost knowledge of the o/b wire when power surged the other day 🙃

I was told we were low on baking powder, so there's another 4 lb container on the way from Costco (the one pictured isn't even opened yet...) I guess we're making a boatload of cookies this weekend 🍽️

I knew Mavis Staples had released a new album but I hadn't gotten around to listening to it yet. Thank you, Jason, for putting this on my radar. Excellent album, excellent review as well. Follow Jason for some more music. I'm excited for the rest, especially if this one came in at number 10!

Happy challah-days, y'all 🕎🥖🍽️

Pasteurized a gallon and a half to use fresh and pressure canned the remaining 14 quarts for longer term storage #SmallFarmLife 🐐🍽️

Listening to Ian's show while cooking dinner increases the taste factor by at least 10%. Trust me, I once was a scientist.

Only one goat is in milk right now but she's giving us almost a half gallon once a day #SmallFarmLife 🐐

Casey hates the fact I use an android device, but for those of y'all who use an apple one this is a pretty cool app he built (and it's the app of the day, I guess that's a big deal...)

Had to make a trip up 95 through northern VA into MD and back, JFC I hate that road.

A fun holiday tradition where we load the kiddos up in the minivan and drive into town to see the lights! Free (minus the cost of gas...), fun, and festive.

Mmm snow kale cooked down in some bacon fat and rabbit stock 🌱🍽️🥓🐇

Please, my friend, take note that you have lived through six years of Covid-19. And please, my friend, take care for you are living through year seven of Covid-19.

Supposed to drop down to 17F/-8C overnight with a few inches of snow projected so we'll see if these kale plants can hold on. Hedging my bets by harvesting a bunch for dinner later just in case... 🌱

Just keep him away from the dahlias 😅

Finally got it off the grill at 9:18 PM last night, it was a late dinner... 🍽️

Day after Thanksgiving breakfast. Winter Luxury Pie Pumpkins grown from @sevenhillfarm.bsky.social seeds, hands down the best pie pumpkins we've ever grown 🌱

Smoking this bird with apple wood chips and some apple cider in a pan underneath it. Couple more hours to go... 🍽️

For Brussels sprouts aficionados on Thanksgiving, a Brassica 🧵

Did you know we offer gift bags of native wildflower seeds curated to your specific state or region? 25% off now through Dec 2nd: sevenhillfarm.etsy.com/listing/1575... 🌱💚 #gardening #wildflowers #nativeplants #giftideas

I can (and do) purchase mail order day old chicks and pay an additional 50 cents each for Marek's and coccidiosis vaccines for my birds. It's ridiculous the USDA/FDA won't make a bird flu vaccine available for commercial and backyard flocks.

Me, opening an REI box: Ah finally, new socks Teenager: New socks? Can I have them? Me: Didn't I just buy you like 10 pairs? Teenager: Yeah but they don't fit anymore, I need socks. Me: Ugh, fine. Give your "old" ones to your brother. Preteen: I don't want his dirty ass socks! Send help. And socks.

Haters (Steve) will hate, but our garden gives us and our rabbits fresh, delicious kale damn near year round 🌱

It's always fun replacing the oven's igniter glow bar 4 days before the busiest cooking day of the year 😅 At least I was able to vacuum up a bunch of dusty cobwebs behind the oven, and also found an offset spatula I've been missing for over a year! 🍽️

The economy was in the shitter, I was making pennies as a middle school math teacher, a college buddy was working for a small company writing Silverlight code and got me an interview. Never set out to be a software developer but it pays the bills and provides healthcare for the fam.

The English language is amazing. So many different dialects and pronunciations but for the most part we can understand each other (and also give each other a healthy shit-talking about saying things wrong). The correct answer is 1. No time for extra syllables...

In case you’re confused about who the historical bad guys are, there’s a reason we have 5+ decades of movies that obsess on evading, killing, and humiliating, Nazis.

Maybe also consider wearing a well fitting respirator, (k)n95 or better. Helps keep flu, COVID, RSV, and numerous other debilitating diseases at bay.
