		<title>Meat in the freezer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Growing our own meat seemed like such a good idea at the time. I love lamb dearly, so I started with that, despite most of my livestock-raising experience being in beef cattle or pigs. Lambs are small enough to do well in the smallish pen out back and I had a connection who supplied some [...]]]></description>

		<title>A bad year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been going through some major crap in the family, mostly dealing with lawyers and custody and psychopathic ex-wives. It&#8217;s really been getting to both of us. I simply have never been exposed to the level of evil that I now have to deal with on a regular basis. But Karma&#8217;s name seems to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Suburban wildlife</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got to get up close and personal with a young Grey Fox today. A fire crew was clearing weeds near one of our vacant buildings, and they looked in a window and saw this guy. Foxes in this building aren&#8217;t that unusual, but the door to his room was shut. He must have fallen [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ringo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Poor Ringo was bounced around a lot in his life. My friend Big Jeff bought him when he was already grown. He had papers (which don&#8217;t mean much to Border Collie people) and Jeff was hoping to breed him to his female dog. She never took, but Ringo was his buddy for a few years. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Goat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last time I had a goat, it was at my house in town. He was a fun pet, but not really appropriate for town. The landlady would not have approved of a house-goat, although Elvis thought otherwise. After finding him in the living room for the third time, I finally cobbled together a fix [...]]]></description>

		<title>This crazy zoo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve got what&#8217;s essentially another animal pen in the far back, besides the garden and the two we&#8217;re using. It&#8217;s open to the concrete behind the shop and is more a utility area than anything else. The garbage cans are back there, and the dogs, and there&#8217;s a weedlot growing too. So I&#8217;ve been letting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chicken project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This poultry endeavor just keeps chugging along. I get so much fun from these silly birds that they&#8217;d be worth the effort even if we weren&#8217;t planning on edible byproducts. We moved the first batch out to the coop and left them locked in for at least a month. Finally, we finished putting up the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Standing in the traces</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are so many circumstances beyond my control lately that it&#8217;s infuriating to be so powerless. I can&#8217;t talk about the actual issue online at the moment but I will one day. Possibly after the flames stop shooting out of my ears. Possibly not. It&#8217;s kept me quiet and it&#8217;s time to stop letting this nonsense keep [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bird Flu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m clearly sick. I&#8217;m getting feverish in the most odd situations. I&#8217;ve developed a horrible cough&#8230;. hackcoughI&#8217;lltaketwohack&#8230;. I tend to lose perspective when in the presence of the chick bins at the feed store. I seem to have the chicken flu. The twelve original birds, ten pullets and two cockerels, were joined the next day [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oxymorons with whiskers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems to be a rule in life (or mine anyway) that one doesn&#8217;t buy a cat. No, one runs across cats, one is selected by a cat, or one inherits a cat with a farm. I&#8217;ve never had to go looking for one. When there is a cat-shaped opening, one will appear. My first [...]]]></description>
