Dam, Beavers & Fallen Trees Iwent to the farm today and busted up some beaver dams (the beavers have turned our property into a swampy mess) and I cut 3 hackle berry trees…I wasn’t paying attention and my saw tip got pinched. I tried to use some ratchet straps to release some of the tension but that didn’t work. I had to use a handsaw and cut the tree to get my saw unstuck. The cross section of the tree was probably as big as a laptop….it wasn’t too bad…

So, this is kind of how I feel about the farm
So, this is kind of how I feel about the farm, kind of caught off-guard, like this deer. Three years ago, I was single with no children, just me and my umpteen year old cat, Willie… Now I have a husband, a son, and eight and a half acres in Smalltown, Alabama. It’s kind of low and will need some work to improve drainage, but we couldn’t wait to get started on our farm, so my husband brought home some week-old baby chickens (and a duck!) and we kept them in…
