Time to Move the Sheep and Alpacas

20 views

Each year we shear our alpacas and sheep in the spring. Today is the day to do just that. But first the animals need to get into the barn. Which is not exactly next to their pasture. We need to build a corral and coax them into that, then push them into the trailer and move them. Once they are in the barn, they get water only until after shearing. This is always fun! Sort of...

Emily is Going to Hurt Me! Help!

It's time to get this fuzzy thing off my face. Emily stepped right up to the plate...a little too fast. I'm not sure this is going to be a good thing? In the end, I only lost a little skin and a lot of facial fuzz.

What Did Kevin Do to the Maple Candy Machine?

172 views

Short story long, I jammed it up! The night before I tried to make candy but messed up the machine by not turning it on when I loaded the maple syrup... That was a really bad idea. Jeff & Nova from Blue Elk Coffee company came by to help boil and make maple syrup but we didn't have enough water. So we decided to make some maple candy. Well that didn't work out either. We had break down the machine and clean it all the way down to the gears in in the pump. Ludford came over to help out and it was great working with him! In the end, the machine is fixed!

High Winds Caused Roof Damage

63 views

The other day we had very high winds on the farm. So much so, that the hot tub cover was blown off, furniture blown off the porch and the green house skin removed... And shingles blown off our b&b. Today we are going to fix the roof on the b&b. It's an easy repair if you have a lift. The roof is a 12/12 pitch and that is much too steep for me to walk on. Or maybe anyone. The repairs go well and the roof is now secure. In the video I mention a product called "Through the Roof". Without a doubt, it is amazing and I keep a couple tubes in my supplies at all times. Here is a link to it on Amazon. It's not cheap but it's worth it!
