My Favorite Blog

I refresh the page of Cold Antler Farm I keep up on my computer every single day, and every day I find some fascinating new thing on my screen. I was going to talk about CAF someday, anyway, and since Jenna Woginrich, the author, is giving away pea seeds for sharing CAF anywhere, so there's no time like the present!
Every day Jenna posts something new, something fascinating, about homesteading, about falconry, about animals for meat, about long rides on horseback through fields of flowers. It's a blog about the horrid deaths and the wonderful new births. It's about the taste of honey from your bees in your mouth as you bake bread. Check it out at http://coldantlerfarm.blogspot.com/

Stupidest Person in The History of Man, yeah, think I just broke that record

I left the container of chicken scratch wide open outside...and it snowed last night. It's drying on a cookie sheet. Any tips, other than obvious preventative measures, for drying out scratch?

It rained last night.

It started by looking at the water drops outside with a flashlight before bed. They looked so sparkly and beautiful that I thought "aw, what the heck, I have a screen, it can't hurt." I opened my window and the cool breeze blew ever so slightly on my face. It was wonderful. Right then and there, I decided I would sleep with the window open for the rest of the night, and I put my waterproof sleeping bag on top of the sheets. It was amazing, falling asleep to the drum of rain while the breeze tickled my face. I dare you to see for yourself  the wonders of open windows. Well, this morning I woke up and there was a light sprinkling of white dust on everything, complete with icicles dripping from the tree branches. That means that it got below freezing last night and I didn't even stir in my sleep. Ah, the wonders of sleeping bags, and the magic of waking up to snow outside even a closed window.

I am obsessed with goats

Way too much. Girl, you can't have goats on a quarter acre! But that won't stop me from dreaming...

I've been thinking about this, but I haven't posted it

Just look up "bottle tower garden" on youtube.
I just gotta keep collecting bottles from my friends, and someday...

Peas

I will be doing the snap pea challenge on my favorite blog, http://coldantlerfarm.blogspot.com/
Except with just peas. Cause fresh peas are awesome.
