From a distance, I thought this was a lamb on the ground. My heart skipped a beat. Nope! Just a rather large fire ant mound. Yowza! My heart still skipped a beat. :)

“As extreme weather bakes their soil, young farmers are helping one another to embrace new techniques, lower emissions and (they hope) still earn a living” … but we are being sabotaged at every turn through elite capture to agrifood institutions and precarious and debt-intensive access to land, capital, and infrastructure. #cdnpoli #farmlife #cdnag #agroecology #foodsovereignty

“Local, small-scale farmers need our support more than ever, not just for their sakes but for a future-proof, resilient food system that will withstand the demands of our changing climate.”

Yep.
“A 2021 research study by the University of Guelph, she said, found that about 76 per cent of farmers were experiencing moderate or high levels of stress. Recent weather events and rising production costs are making that worse”

A sentence I didn't think I'd be typing but my #goat ate my #eBike...or at least the front brake motor disengage cable. This goats going to be #birria #tacos way sooner than expected if he keeps it up.

Happy Caturday!
Loverboy is tired of this relentless heat!
The slate tiles stay surprisingly cool with the shade of the front porch. We got 2 cats from a barn cat rescue, but they wisely avoid the barn during the day. We call them "Porch Pumas" or "Garden Gatos". lol

This is an outdoor shower. We just had it repaired and replaced the platform. The structure it is mounted on will be replaced in a month or so. But the best enhancement is … hot water!!! Finally, after years of cold showers outside, we can take a hot shower! Woot!
This is #farmlife.
A clever fox invites sheep to open their minds, beyond strict rules. One ewe accepts, finding freedom and possibilities, in the forest. Open minds can thrive, where others just survive.

Went to see Mission Impossible - at Albany Westfield. I’m not used to so many people and the over stimulation of a 3 hour action movie with rapid fire scene/angle changes and shaky camera. I’m exhausted. I prefer pruning olive trees.

We wanted to make sure the wooden logs crossing the creek were clear also!
Sorry for getting this out a day late, yesterday was CRAZY...
ENJOY!!!

Hanging out with some awesome Jacob sheep, at our friends' farm home, last evening.
I enjoyed hand feeding a young ram. He was gentle & has a soft, warm tongue. Mom enjoyed taking pics & tried out some amateur sheep herding.

A young ram accidentally put on a foliage dress. He got into the yard waste pile & emerged wearing this green dress.
Vid of him running back to stables, trying to remove the foliage:

More info about this interesting sheep breed. Rams grow 4 impressive horns. They have cute piefaces 😀
