The Wild Rose

02/19/2025

Getting ready for spring 😆 trying to stay busy around the farm with all of our snow. We are on our third round of chicks. I started our first ginger bug 🫚 🐛 I also planted some chives and some of our Walla Walla onions. Even though it's sort of late for onions better late than never

Wintertime chores are a 💩 show. No roosters were harmed in the making of this video yet

Oh let's have a farm it's going to be fun 😆 having a morning woke up to our first Farm Hound licking through his surgical pajamas because we decided to get two male dogs and one of them had to get neutered. I cracked one of the eggs putting it in the basket, it leaks all over the barn floor the chickens went crazy for it .Hopefully we don't end up with a bunch of egg eaters, then Mike decided to attack me. Nobody has any 💧 even though I totally clean the waterers out last night and top them up unfortunately the outside top is still frozen. Don't get me wrong I still love our farm, it's just a little more challenging in the winter time.

Farm Life

I'm only going to address this once because both politics and international trade relations aren't my forte and I have no desire to pretend that I'm an expert in either.

However, as much as I'm a proud Canadian (plaid wearing, maple syrup drinking, and all) I'm a decent person... Or at least I try my best on any given day.

What we've seen over the past decade has been a degredation of our culture, our beliefs and our morals - everythings on the table in 2025 and that's arguably why the world is in the state that it's in. Right and wrong are subjective and a slap on the wrist for one by the judicial system equates to years in prison for another, sometimes merely based on the color of their skin or sexual orientation.

Again, I'm not a political person and watching a pi***ng match between billionaires internationally just.. Well.. Isn't fun.

We have many friends south of the border and there has never been a greater time of connectedness via social media (though often it's skewed for one reason or another). I believe we can affirmatively say that the majority of Canadians and Americans didn't ask for this. Heck, most of what's going on politically I tuned out during C19 becuase I didn't believe the goverment had my best interest at heart.

I've spent time with politicians and heard hope filled platitudes and simultaneously been met with unanswered phone calls and emails where I have been hoping to address real concerns in our community.

At the end of the day and in my experience, the majority of Canadians and Americans (I really can't speak for other cultures, nor recent immigrants) are fantastic people - sure, we all have some nuts - but this trade war is going to hurt both of us. All of us. Heck, we may even be on the verge of a thrid world war if the current psychological warfare isnt counted already.

So, friends, we're all in this together and since the government won't tell you I will:

Grow a garden. Grow a f*cking garden...

Because the more you take control of your own situation on your counter top or in your window sill - heck, even on your desk at work! The more you take control for you, your family and your community. The more we sane people down here not friviously throwing around millions of dollars on useless projects can work together to keep each other safe, fed, happy and healthy.

We are well on our way 😆 we are finally on a real farm on the east coast of Canada 😆 you can check us on YouTube at Lupine Lane if You Dare 😀 there may be some swearing not really sure why ,I decided to do the YouTube thing but I'm still doing it .I really hate being on camera and I mess up what I say all the time 😆 farming can be really challenging and rewarding at the same time

We are going to be known as The Wild Rose Deux. As some of you know we decided to move to the other side of Canada 😂. So we could have a real farm or maybe you didn't even notice Facebook's kind of whack like that 😂. It's bee pretty interesting to say the least. Haven't done much to the outside .As we're just getting out there as it's finally nice. We are trying to make a spot for our garden and clean up our apple orchard.

Not much has been happening in the garden this fall winter. Whoever does end up with our garden I hope they love it as much as us. they're going to love their 200 plus garlic. Now these are some carrots I harvested them before it got really cold. I'm not sure if the rest that I decided to leave in will make it or not .it's a little experiment. That's what Garden is all about. I've learned the most from my mistakes

Things didn't really work out the way I was hoping this summer. I do have some exciting news though some of you might already know about it. We are going to have a real farm in our future.it's just on the other side of Canada 😂. A couple months ago we decided to put our house on the market and make a major life change. So we can have our own little piece of paradise and animals.Stay tuned for our YouTube channel. If anybody has any good names for a farm let me know.
