  • Snow pack leaves evidence of wildlife

    Yesterday, 4:30 p.m., after shedding my city boots for my country boots, I headed back out the door with my egg basket and a jug of water.  
    Our two livestock guardian dogs were by my side as we headed back to the barn.  
    In the blink of an eye, Baxter and Finca took off in full defense mode towards our hens and the barn. Baxter took the front and Finca took the back.

    The 2009 January ice storm knocked down limbs, electricity and phone service across Kentucky.
    The damage to trees was astounding, to say the least. Last week’s icy “situation” brought back the memory of those dread-filled days as we slowly tackled the clean-up effort at the farm.  
    This year’s ice is not nearly as bad as 2009 but it sure left a mess in its wake. If you are among those with heavy damage assess the situation with an eye towards safety first and foremost.
