Lambs on the Farm
With the ending of summer and the start of fall it became time to once again part with my lambs. Like previously years, I have purchased 10 lambs in late spring and raised them over the summer. This is a small and rewarding business that while not able to make me millions can be repeated on a wide variety of farms with very little in the way of risk.

Beastly Thistles; Part 2
Thistles are attractive to wildlife; they are also attractive to some people for their fragrance, and sometimes their appearance. But somehow, I don’t think they’ll ever be able to completely overcome the beastly stigma of being, well, beastly.

Wildflowers At 70 MPH: New Mexico
With the spirit of Jack Kerouac never far from the surface, my wife and I jumped all over the opportunity to return to California. Across the bottom of Mississippi, up through Louisiana and into Texas, highways were lined with sunflowers, varieties of goldenrod, Mistflower, and golden asters. And once we got into Oklahoma the most abundant wildflower was Maximilian Sunflower, a gorgeous species top heavy with blossoms. Such variety and abundance surprised me. After such bounty, I thought, New Mexico would surely be a barren, dusty landscape. After all, it was October. What else could possibly be blooming? Lots. Lots and lots.
