Happy Independence Day!! The time we stood up to a measly tax on tea. We’re now taxed on everything and completely complacent with that fact. We may have come a long way from where the founders started us, but there’s still a deepened pride of patriotism in my heart.
You can take my fiat, but you can’t take my FREEDOM!!
Trash Garden Weed Suppressor
Step 1
Collection of any cardboard or paper products. This is about 4 years worth of saving
Step 2
Apply the products around the raised beds to suppress the Bermuda grass.
Step 3
Cover the cardboard with hay or other mulch material so the wife doesn’t get mad when she sees all the trash in the yard.
Happy Gardening.

That’s the beauty about the protocol though; it’s a two way exchange I.e value for value.
We’ve been used to a one way trade when it comes to content. People want to support others who create value in their day. NOSTR brings that to fruition.
But are you getting value for those engagements?

Yes, that’s the goal for me as well. This is also my first time raising birds from hatchlings. The og flock were all 8+ mo when we got them. Lots of learning and adapting.
You just can’t pass up that deal. I have about 22 chicks now but my mature flock is down to 5 after the snake incident.
East Friesian dairy sheep providing fresh raw milk for the homestead daily
This is the second season milking our East Friesian dairy sheep. We are getting a little more than 1/2 gallon of milk a day from two ewes. Whatever we don't immediately use, we freeze, or make yogurt, ice cream or "farm cheese" (basically curding milk with vinegar). Still haven't tried to make proper cheese with the milk yet but looking forward to it. We also use some of the milk to make soap.
Last season, we kept the dairy sheep in with the main flock we raise for lamb meat. I would move the milking stanchion and equipment along as we rotated the sheep through the pastures. It turned out to be more work than it was worth keeping all the sheep together. This season we created a static 5 paddock system just for the dairy sheep close to the house. Now it's a short walk to milk in the morning and to separate the lambs at night.
Here is a note from last year showing how we moved the milking operation with the main flock.

Awesome work Rev. I always enjoy seeing your ingenuity.
The bees and myself love it. It does seem that we are about 3-4 weeks ahead of schedule this growing season. Blackberries are early, lots of flower blooms are early.

Many places allow you to bring your dog with you now. However, if you want special access, the key 90% of the time is to have solid obedience and stability in your dog. While I do have a Service Dog recommendation from my doctor, I’m almost never asked about it, because a well trained dog is obvious. #grownostr

Teaching and training dogs is so rewarding.

That’s good to know. We just got 10 more baby chicks since Tractor Supply had them at $1/per. With the rat snake gone, I’m thinking we’ll be able to finally grow some out to maturity. Fingers crossed. 🤞
