Okay… So I admit that I apparently suck. I have gotten more than a little bit busy the last week or two and did not manage to keep up with the posting here, even though it is NaBloPoMo. Well, I am still going strong over on mephistos and it is a good read. However, even given my less that stellar performance of keeping things posted daily here on Traveller’s Haven Farms, I have more than enough to post about. I am going to be doing something just a little different here though. I have not completely worked out the target as of yet, but I am think along the lines of a post a week or two posts a week, maybe even three a week. I think that is much more likely to be sustained, even doing it out through a year, then posting once a day for a month. As soon as I get it completely figured out, you dear readers, will be the second group of people to know. For now, note that I will have a good posting here in just a short bit.
In conjunction with that, there are a few things that I am hoping to get updated here on the site this weekend coming up. As I get those done, I think I will come back here and check them off as a list type of thing and add to this post. By the way, if you have suggestions shot, I am always open on that kind of thing. Lastly, I am also looking for other sites of a sustainable green farm type to link to from here, especially blogs, but not exclusively.
Spent the afternoon trimming trees and the like with my folks. It was some leftover stuff from the infamous ice storm in this area of 2009 and just some stuff that needed to be done. A couple of those were causing some issues with some structures and at least one was pushing a fence over as well. Anyway, it was nice workout and an experience that reminded me much of my youth in a lot of ways.
Over the years I have started more than my own fair share of compost piles on my own properties. The basic concept is so simple and in reality anyone can do it. Some of my greatest warm moments have come from the time or two that I have shown someone else how to set up their own compost pile and have helped them get it going.
A few weeks back as I will sometimes to just for an afternoon of fun and entertainment I went to the local horse auction. A few clarifications are in order there to begin. First, I was only casually looking, having a half a thought depending on prices and such of maybe sometime in the very near future pursuit of a draft cross for jousting. The local sale is not really all that local, but at about an hour away it is not bad of a drive.
