I’m not really one for resolutions, but I did get a nice Moleskine calendar notebook with room to write some basic notes on each day. I’m hoping to take notes each day about what went on — what was planted, what was harvested, how many eggs, etc. I forgot to do it the past couple of days but today I noted down 2 duck eggs and one chicken egg when Garth went out in the morning, and two more when I put them to bed when we got home from Seattle. Also, Stripes and one of the reds have bald butts for some reason; their butt fuzz has apparently fallen out. But today I noticed that Stripes’ butt fuzz feathers are coming back, so I wrote that down too. (Red was facing the wrong direction on the perch and I didn’t want to crawl around in the dark and freak the ducks out. I’ll check her butt tomorrow.)
Anyway, I don’t figure I’ll transfer the daily notes here, but on the other hand it may provide a handy outline for quick weekly updates, or ideas for bigger posts, etc.
GUESS WHAT
CHICKEN BUTT
A farm journal is a great idea…. If you could post even a few of the observations on the farm, I’m sure it would be informative, but of course it makes sense on the time factor to limit it. I don’t have anywhere near enough land to do anything like that now, but in the spring/summer/fall I might follow your lead with some quick jottings-down of how the plants are growing/yielding each week….
Hope the chickens are okay.
