Subsistence?

[hollowdweller]

Morning:

Chickens shitting and sunning on my porch

Time to go milk. My goat AK is really cranking the milk this year.

Time to feed the babies after milking

After I got all the stuff washed out and the milk on to pasteurize I shot my pistol some

Next was to go hiking to try to find some morels. Still too early round here. This was the only fungi I ran into

Some baby stinging nettles coming up

Some baby ferns

Cool waterfall in my creek maybe a quarter mile up from my barn

My bamboo patch. Planted in an old clearing back in the woods were it can't take over.

Knife shot

Great shots HD. :thumbup:

I like the goats! Thanks for sharing.

Me too. My wife thinks I'm insane for wanting a goat. I don't want to breed 'em or anything. I just think it would be cool to have a couple around if I had the property.

That's the life

I know I'm jealous. I was born in the wrong part of the country. The only goats I saw when I was a kid was at the zoo. I know having a farm is hard work, but I'm sure it beats the crap out of sitting in an office for 50 hours a week.

Geat pics, thanks for sharing.

that fungus looks like pear shaped puffballs in a way. do you have them in your area? they are just as good as the big ones but a pain in the rear to clean when you have hundreds of them.

I set in a cubicle all day in front of a computer and process claims for the gov't

Nice water shots! I'm guessing you are a good two weeks ahead of us judging the plantlife activity.

Looks good. Goats are great for clearing property of brush. We used to have a bunch of pigmy goats and they would clear out an half acre in a month or so.

Oh yeah, I'm also jealous.

I want some goats!

 

[pitdog]

Great pics bro, although it took me a minute or so to make out the first one of the goat !!!
Do you still eat the fiddleheads ? I have been put off a little with recent concerns over certain ferns and brackens causing cancers !!!

 

[StretchNM]

Outstanding! It's great to see nice country shots of everyday life!

I'm inspired! Get ready for some Duck, Rabbit, and Chicken pics!

The morels will be popping soon. This has been a cold spring. Hope the grass doesnt get to tall before they come up. I cant wait to have a pan of big yellow morels.
