Had to give it up thanks to a nasty case of rotator cuff tendonitis. :o[ I felt proud of myself for noticing that you are knitting on the diagonal. I used to do that too; it was more fun for some reason. LOVE the goat in the kitchen, comfy-cozy, just like a dog!

I think I like these blog posts the best - an overview of what is happening on your homestead and in your busy lives. I always learn something and I often emphatize because we are experiencing (or have experienced) something similar. Enjoyed the update.

I just wanted to say I enjoyed meeting you and Jules the other day. Your home is beautiful and I enjoyed the conversation! I hope I didn't interupt your hard work! :)Also, I wanted to mention that you guys are already battling the invasive bugs through your use of diversity and allowing the good bugs to thrive. Through my work I've seen (informally) that the worst infestations occur where people ignore "the laws of nature" and depend on monocultures and chemical control.If I can ever be of assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me!

I started raising ducklings in my backyard because my mother is allergic to chicken eggs, and duck eggs would allow her to eat eggs again. Unfortunately, the town found out about my backyard ducks and are trying to make me get rid of them. Currently, only chickens are allowed, but I'm trying to change that! If you have any advice that would be amazing. I've also created a facebook group that I'll be updating as things progress and an online petition. Thank you!http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=147806406185http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/ducks/ Hello, my name is Ava Koo, and I'm trying to legalize backyard ducks as pets in residential areas in Huntington and Huntington Station, NY.
