One girl's transformation from city slicker to farmer in Tenino, Washington. Saturday, October 27, 2012. On Monday night, October 22nd, our little black heifer, Xoe, triumphantly delivered - without assistance (but not without a lot of observation! Her first calf. It took a few days for us to determine the sex of this little one; mama is a good Highland mama, and true to the breed, she was a little antsy each time we got too close. (Navel dipping and towel drying was a very quick endeavor! The calf was a...

One girl's transformation from city slicker to farmer in Tenino, Washington. Saturday, April 20, 2013. Skookumchuck Farm is growing and changing, little by little! I was enamored with Arianna's personality.she's a very calm, gentle girl, plus lovely to boot! We bought her for my birthday, and have called her my "birthday heifer" many, many times since. :). Maybe she won't be so bad after all. We'll see. BEM Arianna ("Ari"). She's a pretty girl! Posted by Amy L. Saturday, April 20, 2013. Maybe Bruno, then...

amysflock: In the garden - 2010
http://amysflock.blogspot.com/p/in-garden-2010.html
One girl's transformation from city slicker to farmer in Tenino, Washington. In the garden - 2010. This year's garden was mainly a bust. The spring was cold and wet, summer heat was sparse, and things like tomatoes just didn't have a chance. The cool season crops - broccoli and cauliflower - faired the best. The corn was very, very late and the beans didn't ever grow to height or produce fruit. Here's the lowdown on what we planted.fingers crossed for better luck in 2011! Broccoli - 'Packman' (4) - great.

One girl's transformation from city slicker to farmer in Tenino, Washington. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. I've been a pretty absent blogger for the last few months.but I have a really good excuse. Paul and I are expecting twins! They're fraternal, conceived after many years of heartbreak, frustration and medical interventions we wish we could know nothing about, and although some might think we're in for it (and heck, maybe we are! We're thrilled and blessed beyond measure! Hi Diane, and thank you! Our 9 week...
