 Santa brought Bramblestone Farm a new vehicle because Lesa and Randy were so good last year; and it’s such a long way up and down the hill to get to the field or garden.
It’s an electric E-Z-GO® (like the golf course carts), and has an automatic dumpster. I really like the electric part, just plug [...] Continue reading Christmas Farm Vehicle  Bluebirds live on our farm throughout the year; however, during the warmer months we generally see them around the edges of the farm fields – seldom do they make their way up to the house. The trees surrounding the fields seem to provide them with an ideal habitat – old tree cavities for nesting and [...] Continue reading Creating Bluebird Habitat  Before we could get goats, we had to fence some pasture area; but in addition to keeping the goats in, we wanted a fenced area for the chickens, the predators needed to be kept out, and the garden needed fencing to keep out deer (the garden was being completely devastated!).

However, I was too surprised (think heart beating rapidly) to [...] Continue reading Mama Raccoon  Prior to leaving on vacation a couple of weeks ago, we noticed a very pregnant doe hanging around the yard and garden. The day we got back from vacation, she brought out this cute little baby. Now, I’m pretty sure the doe is responsible for the nibbled peas, potatoes, cabbage, and flowers I’m finding around the place – [...] Continue reading New Fawn  Even while we’re on vacation, and out in the middle of nowhere, birds find us. These were in the middle of the road as we came around the corner, and appear to be looking for Mom. They seem willing to take us as a substitute ….. I think that they’re baby ducks of some type?
Ducks?  Continue reading Spring Goslings?  The homemade suet (Homemade Peanut Butter Suet) has always been popular with the birds, but it’s been flying out of the feeder lately. I think I know why…………………. |
