Toadally awesome to find this one hanging around the hayfield this afternoon. Actually it’s not a toad, it’s a tree frog.
I was planning on telling a frog joke but you have to be very careful when you tell them, the last person I told one to.. croaked.

Well owl be damned!
The fencing project inspector showed up again today.
It gave me a long hard look straight in the eyes, and I’m pretty certain as it flew away it said… owl be back!

Seed drill 🤠
It makes the most beautiful geometric pattern in the field.
Soil is amazing and needs to be protected, cared for, its alive!
Planted some hay, fodder for the future. Cost a bunch of coin in seed, fuel and equipment.
A farmer’s wish it will all take and maybe some rain would help.

What love of looks like.
Set it free, celebrate all things, doesn’t matter how small.
The micro moment, matter.
With the gas station attendant, your neighbour, your family keep love at root of all things and you too will be free.

Hay season’25 is done!
I’m 25 lbs lighter and a few more gray hairs
My 1970/80’s equipment kept up with the job for the most part, with less breakdowns then the last
All in all success, the farm critters will eat some good stuff this winter
Farm life gotta love it!
Thank a farmer if you ate today

Don’t be afraid little bunny you’re safe here
I set up a camping spot w/ solar lights for some friends to camp out.
The bunnies moved in after they left
Be the light the world needs
Life will surround you
It’s actually wonderful, embrace it, live it, it’s not as scary as it seems.

Switched to round bales until the baler broke. Now back to squares
Let me tell ya rounds are so much easier.You get approx 14 small squares per round bale and the tractor does all the lifting vs. Hand bombing squares on/off the trailer and stacking into the mow. I work by myself so efficiency is key

Was able to get 300 small squares off the field, just need to put them up into the hay mow before the next rain.
Still have 36 acres to go or call it 3000 more bales then we should have enough to feed the critters.

One of the main events..
Hay season ‘25 has arrived.
It’s a high stakes operation as it feeds all the cows, horses and goats on our farm for another 365
So many variables like weather, equipment & crop failures, rental/land owner agreements, time, money and all the things..
Gotta love farming!

My farrier told me my horseshoe was hung upside down, and if I were to leave it that way my luck would run out
So I took it down and hung it the other way 2 days later I find a four leaf clover.
Also my farrier just might be a wizard
Best of luck 🍀

Instead of pesticides, herbicides the disc is pretty kick ass on knocking the weeds back.
Every couples days just drive around the fields scratching the surface
I’m preparing this field for seeding down some hay to feed the critters
This is neighbouring land I rent Trying to plan for the future

Permaculture best practice question
I’m wanting to plant sacrificial plants or intercropping my squash Stink beatles destroy my last few seasons The idea behind trap plants is to create a diversion or sacrificial area where pests are drawn in hopes they leave the squash alone
Any ideas what works?

Planted a bunch of saplings on the front lawn last week
Mix of maple oaks birch
Yesterday I cut the grass & accidentally mowed most of them down
My partner called it she told me when I planted that was going happen
I should really work on listening to what she says she’s right like all the time xoxo

Pest control at its finest.
Don’t let the sleepy demeanor fool you. The 2 of them killed a weasel and 17 mice today alone.
Rest while you can kitties, tomorrow is a new day.
Farm cats, can’t live without them!
