When it Rains, Sometimes it Pours!!

Just as I was leaving work and heading home last night......

Another Fire

In Case You Were Wondering

It's 17:42 on a Friday.  I am about to leave work.  Exhausted.  This was an interesting and exhausting investigation.  Here is the report.  Enjoy the weekend; I still have alot to do, but am getting closer!!

News Report

Wednesday Fire

Yikes!

Expanding Herd!

Today, our cow herd doubled in size!!  Welcome to the world, Michael Martin Murphy - we were talking about the song writer before Mike left for work - seems like a good name for the little guy.  I considered "Freezer Burn" too, but that seemed harsh!!

30 Years!

Thirty years.  Thirty years of dedication, service, nights of training, calls into the black of night.  To help.  That's what it's all about - helping someone who needs to be extricated from their crumpled up vehicle.  To move someone into an ambulance.  To pull hose and keep LPG tanks cool in the heat of a fire.  It's about a Team and working with others.  It's about doing this for 30 years!  Congratulations, Captain Trumbower.  We are all so very proud of you and your leadership.  I stand, humbled, by your side.

How to Age Gracefully

Spring in so many Ways!

 Welcome chicks!  Five new barred rock chicks reside in our warmed (72 degrees) bathroom.  Cheep, cheep, cheeping they spend their days growing.  In 24 hours, tiny feathers sprout!  It's amazing to watch them grow.  Outside, we harvest 4-5 eggs/day from the others.  Chickens are pretty darn easy, kind of fun, and the eggs are really great!  I recommend them for even the busiest folks. 

 

On the window sill, some other babies!  They look out to an overcast and wet spring day!  Perfect! 

 

I spent 4 hours cleaning the inside of the Hoback roundabout yesterday, pulling all the snaggly woody week skeletons out.  Then dropped and raked down $40 worth of flower seeds.  Couldn't ask for a better day to be optimistic about their sprouting futures. 

 

The greenhouse climbs into the high 90s during the day, but overnights are still a bit cold dropping into the mid 20s.  We're getting there though!
