I’ve been living in an apartment for quite awhile now due to my jobs; one being for a hospital where I was on call 24/7. It was advantageous both career-wise and convenience to live near-by, but I haven’t worked for the hospital for many years now and my present employer isn’t as demanding with on-call.

]]> Spring is here and chicken stuff https://web.emhmki.org/blog/farming/20220326_entry.html Sun, 27 Mar 2022 07:56:00 CST So I bought a few Buff Orpington chicks a week ago and today was their first time in the outdoors. Since they’re so young, they're still brought inside for the night. Eventually they’ll be moved to a more permanent area kept beneath a shade tree and beside a barn. The portable coop will continue to be kept in service though.

]]> Garden clean out update part 2 http://emhmki.org/blog/gardening/20211207_entry.html Thu, 9 Dec 2021 13:30:00 CST And there it is! Nice and clear and ready to be prepared into a seedbed!

Admittedly, I am a little late and this took a lot longer than I intended; but the weather was too hot and I only have the opportunity to work on this during the weekends since I am not yet living on the property.

I didn’t notice until a few hours, which by then it was too late and the damage was done. Fortunately they didn’t crawl up and bite me around the waist. The majority of bites are around the ankles and legs.

I might even be able to plant a few winter variety vegetables before the end of the year; roasted butternut squash with a little cinnamon, butter, and some brown sugar makes for a great dessert!
