Blind Hog and Acorn are going to be refencing, and both had the idea of looking into a survey prior to doing any work. Much has been learned about the history of the farm, the only known registered survey (circa 1925), about how witness rocks were placed not at corners exactly, but in the survey line "near" the corners. Much fun trying to find them. They have 2 down, 2 to go...

Field fence will be replaced with high tensile grade 3 galvanized 1348-12. An offset hot wire will only be needed to keep the goats from rubbing their sheddy coats on the fence... Little tufts of white down everywhere, but the birds love it.

Acorn is down with week 8 of hip surgery recovery- 99% back to normal, but still not going for long walks down the road quite yet.

Acorn has been given the green light to move about, almost like normal. Who knew bending over would bring such joy?

Plans being made for the garden. Watering system discussed... Goats and geese doing just fine. Travel this year may well be limited to 1-2 nights away- Acorn wants to christen her senior lifetime National Parks pass... Someone's picture is NOT on the senior pass, just the annual pass...

A bit of football to entertain the farmers the next couple of days. Gives Acorn an excuse to sit down for a while. Speaking of sitting down, the guitars got dusted off and Acorn is back to learning to play. D and A chords in the works. Lol...

A brisk but sunny day- the farm is very peaceful.

Blind Hog and Acorn muddled through another year on the farm. 2026 looks to be most interesting, like the farmers need anything more interesting... Normal and dull sounds quite lovely, actually.

New Year's Eve featured fresh ham, New Year's Day had the usual ingredients.

Acorn is thinking about the garden, Blind Hog continues being "farmer in charge" while Acorn continues recovery from hip replacement.

Feeling very fortunate, just wish the world was a kinder, gentler place.
