January 2008


Just an announcement–the website was hacked and some malicious code has been running. Hopefully, this has been corrected, and hopefully it did not effect you. It did take some time to figure out, and I am not 100% sure it is all fixed yet. Meanwhile, I have also updated the website software, so if you notice anything out of the ordinary, please let me know.

Gastrocast #135Today dawned clear and cold. A rare day in January for around here. It is the first day in weeks where it hasn’t rained or been blowing over 20 mph. On Saturday we had winds up to 60 or 75 mph. The power went out during the night, but was back on in the morning, meaning the outage was on the mainland.

The day was so unexpected the girls, I and dogs went for a long walk before 7:30. A Realtor was showing the property and it got us away to feed the beasts and enjoy a chilly, but heartwarming sunrise. Now, it is all sniffles, mugs of tea and coffee.

There is so much to do, seeds to order, and video to edit, but I must take advantage of the weather and get outside to work in the garden. I’ve also got to clean the chicken tractor and get it ready for a breeding set of cockerel and hens. I’d be out at it now, but for the girl’s school.

Must cull some old biddies. Already reduced down to one cock from seven. Over 40 hens, but only 1 egg today. Should plant in the Polytunnel this afternoon.
