Our day started with a hay pickup to a farm about a half hour away from us. Fifty-some small squares were loaded up in the truck and trailer, and brought home. The farm we picked up from has some beautiful sheep that I had a chance to say hello to. Once we got home, ourContinue reading “We Have So Many Fluffy Helpers”

Recipe: Apocalypse Pierogy Reverse Hash
Being that we have been casually referring to our current existence as The Apocalypse, we have started calling almost everything we do “The Apocalypse _____”.

ButContinue reading “Recipe: Apocalypse Pierogy Reverse Hash”
Progress Amidst the Chaos
Farming doesn’t wait for anything. This is a fact we have been aware of from the beginning, and yet it is something we don’t always prepare for, or agree with.

Brooks Hepp, from Battle Creek Enquirer, came over that evening and we chattedContinue reading “We’re On The Front Page!”

Pretty intense title, right? Well, we chose to omit some more… colorful… language from it. This should be sufficient to get the point across. So, why do we hate balloons? Several reasons actually. Balloon waste has been found in the great lakes. We’ve rid ourselves of microbeads in most of our cosmetics, but the wasteContinue reading “We Hate Helium Balloons”
Social Media and When Your Friends Let You Down
The last couple weeks have seen some really intense releases on the big and small screens. People have been talking about the movies and television episodes obsessively, and it’s gotten to the point where I have given up on reading anything online without those topics sneaking in. I don’t really care about either Game ofContinue reading “Social Media and When Your Friends Let You Down”
