As if losing Mayflower didn’t suck enough, Tink went down a few days ago with scours [farmer talk for diarrhea in ruminants] and anemia. I’ve been treating her with a combination of conventional and homeopathic remedies and it’s been an uphill battle. I believe I have a case of acute coccidiosis here, but I think [...]

What was I worried about? I started knitting Ribby Cardi [lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove]: I took it to Sunday knitting at Knitch, where ESC proclaimed it scratchy. Much like when she called Claudia and The Chickengoddess lumpy, I’m sure she meant it with love. The kind of love normally reserved for oatmeal with ketchup and parmesean. But this [...]

Mayflower, aka Miss Smiley Goat laid down under a walnut tree, rested her head on a protruding root and died yesterday. I have no idea why; there were no signs of anything being wrong and everyone else appears more or less fine. I said goodbye as I sheared her for the last time. Tinkerbell is [...]

When I renamed the evil cache file and the blog came back, the comments finally hit my inbox like a drunk celebutante freshly out of rehab. At that point, I cannot describe just how sick I was of dealing with it for hour after freaking hour. It wasn’t just trying to fix this busted junker, [...]

If this post ever gets through, the blog is broken badly. It may be awhile before it gets fixed. P.S. If you’re using word press, there is suddenly an issue with alinks-turn your alinks plugin off if you value your sanity. Also, if you upgrade to 2.2, there’s a cache bug, it seems. If you [...]

Good Stuff first, please. I’m bummed I had to read the Vote for Ryan stuff after the fact since I was out of town, but how cool is that? Congratulations, Ryan, Abigail & Norma. We will infiltrate everything. And once we have control, think of the massive good we can do. And now, we can [...]

It’s a day loaded with stupid bullshit. Chief amongst it, that our server seems to keep having this deal where my wp-admin file can’t be called. Had it all afternoon yesterday, then it resolved itself in the evening and now, as I’m in the midst of a post, it’s started again. Even if this was [...]

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! Jared gave me exactly what I wanted. [Deep red! Love!] Well, vacation was nice. Too short, as is always the case. There was ever-changing weather, family, a wedding, drinking, sight seeing, a tiny bit of knitting, more frogging and NO yarn stores, blogger visits or knitting related activities. [...]

Someone thought I should post farm pictures while I was gone. I also thought pausing to remember might be good. So you get some old pics. Remember how we couldn’t wait for summer? Because we were freezing? I wouldn’t mind a freak snow storm right about now, how about you? Or sitting by a fire [...]

Hey, thanks! Who knew a knitted farm would be such a hit? I emailed some of this to a few people in response to comments, but I realized I should definitely pass along a few links to everyone. I probably should have done it in the post about the knitted farm, but better late than [...]
