How Do They Come to These Conclusions?
Bienenbuettel farm. Does this name ring a bell? Germany’s version of the CDC has determined that the recent outbreak of E. Coli, a bacteria that normally occurs in the lower gut of warm blooded animals and manufactures Vitamin K for the host, but of which, virulent strains can cause severe illness and even death when … Continue reading
Green
The theme this week is Green. I know, first glance, even I have stretched the concept too far. But I’ve had a piece, an article, an opinion, to unload for nearly a week now. The topic has welled up anger, resentment, sadness, grief, depression and on back around to anger. I knew I had to … Continue reading
Makin’ Money
So after Dirt did our taxes now that we’re a farm business and all, he said the IRS would be after me if I didn’t turn my columns around. I seem to be “in charge” of the only division on the farm that has ninety percent of the outgo (monetary and labor) and zero income. … Continue reading
Hand Wringing and Doom and Gloomers

Wow
I’ve been going in and out all day listening to the different retellings and rebroadcastings of the Lunar Landing. It is so amazing that we, man, did that with the limited tools that we had at the time. The girls, while they were around have been getting an earful that is for sure. So the … Continue reading
Fly Me to The Moon
Two weeks ago I came up with a great idea to have a party for the fortieth anniversary of the moon landing! Man, two weeks goes by fast! Having not realized that days were actually passing, I got to Saturday and said, “Aw Sacagewea.” I was going to have homemade moon pies for desert and … Continue reading
Did You Know That Story?
Taps has always been a favorite of mine. I suppose it comes from many years in Bluebirds and Campfire Girls then years as a Girl Scout leader and camp counselor. Even as a little bluebird we sang it at the end of every meeting, and what camp would be complete without taking down the flag … Continue reading
