I just applied for my 1st farm grant! Actually, 2 grants in one.

Say good job Ash.

Sound up for lamb chin scritches, honking geese and a crowing rooster. Oh, and the sound of metal banging from the ram trying to break down the barn door.

Some of you have never had to push off a Randy ram mounting a ewe who just gave birth,and it shows
Some of you have never had to chase a goose in the rain and mud to butcher it, and it shows
Some of you have never been on the receiving end of a rooster’s spurs and it shows.

Don’t worry, I loved on the lambs for you.

High stakes week with two good interviews we won’t know about until next week on top of working for another farm, tutoring, preparing new beds here, and new lamb care and I would like to sleep until Monday, please?

Little is the sweetest shepherd. He is moving the lamb into the warming hut. His 1st action today was to run Ang get me iodine to rinse the umbilicals.

This should be the last thing you see before you go to sleep ( if you insist on being on your screen before bed.)

If you attend farmer’s markets in your locality, have you seen a novel system for making food accessible to lower incomes? Tell me what ideas you’ve seen local food systems implement to get food to those who need it without sending it first to the food banks.

Thanks!

Yay! I have an interview for that perfect for me local job!

That it took a court case to settle what common sense makes apparent is a clue to the extent of the threat to public lands.

I did a little digging from the 130,000 job increase from the Trump regime.

Most of the 130,000 were in the low wage sector. US born workforce fell 1.195 million, foreign born workforce grew 565,000, net loss of 630,000. So much winning.

#HandsOffHerVote

Republicans know they will lose if everyone votes. Requiring ones voter ID to match their birth certificate is their way to restrict voting rights for women. And it’s a poll tax as well. Do not let them gaslight you.

I got a personalized confirmation of my application for this very well fitting job in our town with a note saying they hope to schedule interviews later in the week. It’s mostly remote with one day of being in community. It’s such a great fit for me and I really hope I get it.
