Apparently someone has found another way to hurt and offend people for No reason. Here is a heads up for everyone. There is a new hack on FB. It includes a hurtful phrase coming from you. It is usually very dirty and appears that you have written it. You will NOT see it, but your friends will. This creates many misunderstandings. So to all of my contacts, if anything shocking, inappropriate, or indecent shows up, it's not from me. You may wish to copy this to your wall.

Old pic! Just a quick note to say I may have been hacked so if you get any friend requests or strange posts or whatever, please just ignore.

Relaxing after a cold snowy day: patting one of the Livestock Guardian dogs is turning me into a Sasquatch. It would be funny but I am worried about her. The wild temperature swings are costing her her beautiful winter coat which she needs. Anyone else seeing the same??

The big Baloo (and every caterpillar in the district LOL) is clearly expecting a deep cold winter. Within the past 10 days, his coat has gone from Summer skinny where you could run your hands through it and see the skin to what I can only describe as luxurious. And it's not fully in yet LOL he's going to be the size of a polar bear this year. Anybody else noticing the same thing with their LGDs?

Random thought this week on the farm: if asked, what would I be able to say is the most Canadian thing about me? Welllll, it is now definitely my awesome collection of plaid, followed by my strange camo.

Teamwork and fall prep on the farm: thanks to the hard work of Ray Smith and Pierce Dulmage Carpentry yesterday, the big wagon has a new hardwood deck. Today, Ray and I took on the sealing of this beautiful wood to protect it for the next 10 years from the rain, ice, and the snow that we know is coming LOL. I am just loving the color too, good choice, Ray! Newington Ontario

This week the Big Baloo has announced that our air quality sucks (8 again thanks to the Northern Quebec fires) and it's much too hot for him outside during the day here at Strongwell Farms. He is handling it his own way, in the air conditioning, and usually stretched full length on the shower pan where he could go more than end-to-end LOL. As Quinn at 65 lbs is fine with being outside all day as well as all night, Baloo joins her at full dark, and thus far we've never seen a yote between dawn and dusk, I am fine with letting him have his own way. He is a lucky boi living his best life.

The Welsh Harlequin ducklings I hatched last spring left their winter quarters and moved over to their summer pasture this afternoon. They have been laying an egg a day for the last several months so yes, we have duck eggs as well as chicken eggs for sale LOL. They are all very happy.

06/14/2023

We are in full late-spring swing! The Welsh Harlequin ducklings are three and a half weeks old, my Ameraucana chicks are 4 weeks old, our 4 Tamworth cross piglets got here Saturday afternoon while our 4 purebred Kunekunes will be here in a week and a half, and I just picked up my day old Cornish Cross meat chickens (25) and Broad Breasted White turkeys (15) over at . Whew! It's busy around here LOL. Ray has been very busy building separate quarantine areas and pastures for the two groups of pigs, and I have been busy creating the best possible habitats for all the birds. So it's now time for our two LGDs to add the ins and outs of pig tending to their poultry-minding chores. Wish us luck!

Spring is in the air, and seems to have knocked the pups unconscious LOL.

Couldn't resist posting my and Baloo's morning practice. After each night chasing 'yotes with Quinn, he comes in for a great big long full-body morning hug with me. Quinn takes the sofa. They will both stay in for an hour or so, and then it back at it again, next shift. They are so brave, and so noble. My heart is full.

Me, just sitting here being happy. Thank you again, my son! And yes, as we get closer to spring, the girls are laying better everyday.

Today is the Big Baloo's first birthday. He is such a loving and gentle giant with us, and such a hard-working soul outside with his partner Quinn guarding our flocks and the property.

It's a glory of a day here at Strongwell Farms . . . and at only -11C, quite balmy

Big and Little at the back door this morning, looking for treats and a snuggle LOL. Yes, they received both.

Big Baloo visiting inside tonight. At nearly 8 months of age, he is a truly big boy, and a great guardian. #
