Not enough good words in my word box to express my appreciation for all that you do and share. May your Geneva trip be the celebration you and your precious colleagues have worked so hard to achieve and the rest of us plan to cheer on with great gusto. THANK YOU, Drs. Malone!
Thank you for sharing. Have a safe and productive weekend.
I am attributing the stalled out "Treaty" to you and those like you. Enjoy the celebration and come back ready for anything Robert. You and this following are priceless!
We lost power today in Texas for a couple of hours and after 90 minutes I pulled out the fridge and plugged it into the batteries. It was sure nice to hear it hum!
We have about 10 paw paw trees. We rarely harvest more than 5 or 6 paw paws in a year. Since we live in Indiana, they are sometimes called Indiana bananas. I think they have the texture of a banana with a bit of the flavor of a pineapple. I hope you are able to harvest a few in August or September.
Paw paws are an interesting fruit. Hard to find any on the trees here, but we did find some in late September or early October once at an incredible place in WV. They were still edible, though a bit squishy.
So happy the power was taken care of immediately. Seems like yall have good power workers. The video of Jill with the animals is precious-they adore her ♥️ thank you for sharing farm life with us. God Bless everyone 🙏🏻
Technician: Dr. Malone, we've received report of downed power lines. Can you direct us to the location of the damage?
Dr. Malone: Yes. It's way down yonder in the paw-paw patch. Word to the wise: don't let any of your crew go streaking or skinny-dipping in the back-forty swamp. There are poison ivy, brambles, and snapping turtles.
James, Nice video! Thanks. Very fun to hear the whole Paw Paw song - plus a tutorial! I noticed the man's shirt had a Clemson logo - my cousin graduated from there. Paw Paws make me think of Suppernongs! (Mentioning them is actually a test. Only Southerners know what they are.) This video evokes a favorite childhood memory of mine:
You've traded me one memory for another. My late, beloved grandparents had next-door neighbors who cultivated a field that was probably at least an acre. Close family friends, they granted standing permission for my brother and me to roam their property and pick scuppernongs/muscadines in the summer. Long time ago; moments that now shine through whatever youthful angst was ongoing at the time.
Lovely! Mine is similar - distant relatives who lived out in the country off dirt roads had a scuppernong arbour where I would blissfully dine while the adults rocked on the porch and visited.
Glad all is well. Gosh I absolutely love your homestead posts. If only I had a do over. God Speed and a safe trip. Toast from us Americans against global tyranny.
You didn't get to where you are in your life by sitting on your you know what! The expanse of knowledge you both have should be put in a book too! Just what you need, another project. Thanks for the update, this is the validation of your humanity and careful and thoughtful living of life.
Thank you so much for this update on farm doings! Sounds like good progress on all fronts. Lotsa successful overcoming. Love all the pix! Here I have berry stalks just starting to produce fruit. The birds are having a field day eating them green. Have a 2nd pot and cherry tomato seeds to try.
Lastest report from WEF/Schwab - all bees must go. Spose he got stung? Between he & Gates we have candidates for padded quarters.
Roguski is reporting continued efforts re the Treaty but it sounds like they expect any progress to take a while.
In the meantime they are trying to forge ahead on the Regs
"At least three separate draft resolutions regarding the adoption of the amendments to the IHR and the continuation of the WHO negotiations are being considered by the 77th World Health Assembly:
Several nations have expressed their desire to reach agreement on the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations before the end of this assembly."
Love you folks! Wishing you safe travels! Satisfying success with the rally! All your efforts are hugely appreciated!
It's fascinating how social and what great pets the birds make. The farm looks and sounds amazing. Being self-sustaining is hard work (and I'm sure expensive initially), but the rewards are priceless.
We haven't been quite as wet here in Southwest Virginia but we've gotten some great rains for our veggies.
Edible stuff, yeah, the deer ate my wonderful Daylillies last year, every single one, and this year they've gotten 3 of them. I'm going to try some Irish Spring soap bars on a tall stick in front of my Daylillies and hope it works to save the rest of them...stuff sure smells strong enough. 🤞🏼
We run Red Rangers or Freedom Rangers. They take 10-12 weeks to grow out. Darker meat. Calm chickens. They will grow out and lay eggs. They are not broody so you would have to incubate.
Aloha: Tell Jill she may want to try taking some paw-paw cuttings dip them in root tone and then into potting soil and see if she can get them to root.
The video is great. The flock is drawn to Mama. How adorable is that?

Love the news from your farm/ranch. I used to have a miniature one, years ago in CA. Hope to start again soon in CO.

Oh yeah! "Way down yonder in the paw paw patch." Now that's a real oldie!

Thanks for the rush for getting power back on- that helped us out greatly.

Also Life Boy soap works well to discourage deer - and people...
🤣 I told my husband I'm sure glad he never used Irish Spring!

I really love the farm updates. Thank you!
