Hello
Hello, folks! This is an update of a prior pinned introduction post. As you can probably tell at first glance, the primary focus of my blog is farm and nature related. I live in the western end of Maryland, USA in the Appalachian mountains. My USDA growing zone is 7a, there’s a LOT of variability in the mountains, and so our weather can be a little inconsistent.
I am in the 55-ish age category, I have a husband, a twenty-something son and daughter, plus a slew of kids’ friends, girl or boyfriends, cousins, and random passersby.
Our ‘farm’ is not commercial; in fact, the large majority of the acreage is in a natural state (on a rather steep mountain) and only a few acres are devoted to our garden, orchard, and pasture. I have kept cows, both milk and beef, but at the moment our field is home to our horse, Hero and a trio of goats. The chickens do not generally have names. Pet-wise we have four [spoiled] cats and two farm dogs.
Other things I post about sometimes include my paintings and drawings, the massive cleanup effort at my late father’s farm, the kids’ colleges, solarpunk, and sometimes health stuff or adhd. Bad puns happen; no apologies will be given!
