          @jordanscollected That photos really seem to capture the beauty of that place. I'm no expert on photography, but the first is a great composition. I absolutely love the symmetry in that photo.

            We added 2 new furry family members to the farm this week, both girls. Hecate (black) and Artemis (grey/orange). We haven’t had any signs of mice in the barn yet but with the weather getting colder it’s bound to happen.

            Hecate is super playful and comes around when we are in the barn, but Artemis took off the moment she was put down and we hadn’t see her in 3 days. She is currently hiding in the pallets under the hay but she is getting food and water so the wait is on for her to get comfortable with us. She was found in a dumpster behind a gas station so it doesn’t surprise us that trust will need to be earned.

            Also, I’m lucky the IHV-24 is Cordura because those claws are serious

              Well done @jordanscollected ! Be patient with Artemis, she’ll turn out to be your primary mice-controller.

              The journey is the objective.

                @motojobobo That's a great thought. She may be the protector of the barn while Hecate is just a playful cat.

                  @jordanscollected and you’ve probably already planned for this but I would recommend they both get spayed or you will unintentionally have a cat farm before you know it

                    A spell of cold weather and shorter days have made farm life pretty mundane the last few weeks. Today we got a warmer day and put out hay. Everyone got in on the action.

                      In other farm news, Artemis has come out from hiding but it still very skittish. Neither of us have touched her yet, but she at least shows herself more often.

                        Winter update from Nightshade farm. A white Christmas turned green after a couple warm days, one with a lot of rain. The ducks and chickens were staying mostly in their enclosures but are feet over feathers to get out and forage for eggs and bugs, seeds and slugs.

                        The horses are back on pasture for at least half the day and full of energy.

                        Some dense fog has provided a pretty backdrop to what has been a mild winter this far. MN was over a month behind recording its first 1” snowfall.

                          For comparison this was Xmas day. I gave hay rides to the family around the farm on my fairly gangster setup.

                            We hosted our monthly group energy healing in the barn today. Bare feet for earthing. Horses help with the energy healing as does the copper pyramid. My wife runs the show and I scoop poop and assist with whatever.

                                  @Fadez thanks Adam. A friend of our built it for us. Many people took turns sitting under it and all said they can feel a vibration when under it. I can too and I’m not big into the energy stuff. We use copper as well inside to help the indoor plants.

                                        We were saying hi to the neighbors horses this weekend and we could hear an Arc coming from the electric fence. We dig down and found a crack in the wiring causing the issue. Our horses offered their services if needed of course.

                                        We ended up replacing the whole line that goes under the gate, digging the trench a bit deeper.

                                          Living in the country has its benefits, but also comes with some odd happenings.

                                          Towards the end of our annual corned beef dinner with family, we hear a loud scratching coming from down the hall. Thinking it was our cat my SIL headed down the the hall to investigate, where upon opening the door to the garage she let out a blood curdling scream. Turns out there was a large musk rat standing on its hind legs scratching our door. The garage was shut so there’s no telling how long he had been in there. We left the garage open overnight but alas in the morning it was still hiding in the garage. off to tractor to get a live trap, and in about an hour we we had our man. We drove about 5 miles and let him out near a small pond.

                                          In other farm news, the cats figured out how to get above the stalls.
