Cabin of the Homefire

Cabin of the Homefire
Blind sided by Animal control and this Eve Earhart and the idiot neighbor, Adam Lee, I had quite a battle going on. No phone, no electricity, people pointing out I had animals in too small a place when others were worse off. (I have 2.8 acres and city wants me to have 3 acres before I have animals, other people have 2 acres and twice the limit besides not zoned for it. I have been insulted, asulted, on local TV, accused of animal neglect, (plead not guilty, ) know everyone with animal control and to beat them at their game, I have set to lease 2 more acres from a kind neighbor so I can get my goats back. I had a good lady who has the same bloodlines, keep them for me for a while.) It is quite a story.
I think a nice cup of warm lipton tea and gentle conversation with a good friend would be quite welcome right now. I myself an doing ok, the horse that was cut so badly is healing up nice with "Cut Heal" and Biosa. Animal control said I had to get the Vet out to look agian or they would take the horses (;I am down to 3 now) and I told them I didn't need one! So THEY called one in and he was asking how I got it looking so good? I told him about Biosa and he just scratched his head and looked at Animal control and said "She's right, its doing really well." They want me to get more weight on them so I am going to get some big bales of Alfalfa hay and then use my extended Biosa on it too. I just made some bokashi yesterday and the horses were just wild about it.
I am weary for now but am glad to be back up and running again........

March is coming in like a lion. Will she go out like a lamb? I hope things will settle down now here and I can start leading a normal life where I can heal from longsuffering. It is not easy and life has its pain and its sorrow, but I would like to pick up and go on. A new spring on its way. I'd like to bloom anew.

Ramblings of a tired farmer? Or Master Gardener gone mad? I have had pleanty of winter now, as everyone else will agree with. There are other things I could do with my time if it would just warm up a bit. I am glad I am not in the bitter north winds of the US. I sympathize with those who are not just cold but ever-livid frozen. The snows of the Great Lakes are falling in great amounts, deep snow. Tunneling out is hard to think about, much less to do. I would like to have a hint of spring. One of those days that remind you its not the arctic we live in. Winds and Rains, Earthquakes and Tital waves, Tsunamis crashing and washing away, Tornados Herricanes Cyclones. Snow with ice. Continues. What is in store? Makes you wonder if the old song "Oh Suzanna" is more truth than fiction. I've come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee I'm goin' to Louisiana my true love for to see It rained all night the day I left the weather it was so dry The sun so hot I froze to death ...

Home is where the heart is. Home is where the Hearth is. For me, I want to imagine a warm little cabin in the midst of a small clearing in a big woods. Inside are rocking chairs, goosedown feather beds/comforters, fresh milk still warm from the cow, and bright red skivvies with the hatch in the back. Reading outloud to my granddaughter, now 1, about the old tales of long ago. Where has story telling gone? Sitting by the homefire, telling stories. When grandpa stole the bobcat cub and wrapped it in his coat. The mother bobcat caught the scent and chased him on his cob pony all the way home. The bulldog set up a ruckus when he heard them coming and as the old mother cat let out a squall, the pony leaped up on the back porch and jumped into the kitchen and the bulldog went under the porch. His mother heard it all and cought the pony before it took the cook stove out. Grandpa was a great rider, but with the cub in his coat, he fell of as they went through the door and he slammed the d...
