Hard work that is. 5 hours with no breaks, except when you refill the chain saw. Well not quite that bad, there are 30 second breaks all the time. And it is only 2 days a week. And the person I’m working for, the land owner, is nice and good to work for. Too [...]

The past few weeks I’ve been picking up some equipment to help me in expanding my gardening into small farming. The difference? Gardening is for personal use and farming is for profit. Not to say that a garden isn’t profitable, but one can’t make a living on just a garden even if one can live [...]

Last night, actually the night before, someone stole one of our signs from the corner of Rt. 7 and Main street in Sidney. They then took our Chamber of Commerce sign, a yellow sandwich board sign that we were using for advertising of a couple of events and through it in the Susquehanna river.

Last week I had gone to the John Deere tractor expo, and I had promised to tell of my thoughts after I had gotten back. But it was late and then I had to do other things — and one thing led to another, including putting my father in the hospital the other day. [...]
