This. Spoken firmly and decisively should make the point.

Tarlo Farm

Great news!

Tarlo Farm

Holy Schnikees! The place is gorgeous!! The photos are great, I like the persecutive of all.

Tarlo Farm

Gawd Almighty...! And hurricane season is only just beginning...

Tarlo Farm

I do too Boots. Geezus this is horrible! The rain... I've experienced 12" in 24 hours and 3' in five days - this is absolutely incredible. I haven't been to Houston in probably 20 years and keep remembering areas and interstates...it's incomprehensible. I'm so sorry for everyone.

Tarlo Farm

An egg. With tea. A little later I'll have some fruit. I save my coffee for after lunch to help with that afternoon slump.

Tarlo Farm

Everyone still ok?

Tarlo Farm

Have fun and be safe everyone! A weekend of music festival and possible cloud cover stopped my plans to drive south to totality today. Have to settle for 80%

Tarlo Farm

Michigan jingles for you! Jingles heading your way for a long, well-deserved vacation too!

Tarlo Farm

Family legend: Right after their wedding ceremony in 1944, my mom's sister pulled Dad aside and warned him his house might not be cleaned very well...but the yard and gardens would always look great!

I come by it honestly.

Tarlo Farm

Aghhhhhhhh!!! It kills a part of me every time. I'm so sorry.

Tarlo Farm

Awwww, what a sweetie! She'll be waiting for you on the other side.

Tarlo Farm

It all depends on the time and length of your growing season and how much rain you're getting. Grasses grow better, thicker, quicker in the spring, so you may get a week on each early on, then have to shorten the rotation until it's time to shift to hay. Watch your grasses and don't allow over-grazi...

Tarlo Farm

A land contract simply means I act as the bank for they buyer. I hold their mortgage so-to-speak. It's much like a regular contract a buyer would write with a bank: A significant downpayment, interest charged on the balance made in monthly payments, usually culminating in a "balloon", whic...

Tarlo Farm

Thanks. The aerial shot is a great addition and not so difficult to obtain with drones now. I had an old one taken by a photographer in a plane that I photographed with my phone and then posted.

Tarlo Farm

Just sold my 40 acre farm; 25 fenced acres in pastures, plus three individual paddocks with sheds; pond, creek, 3 bed/2 bath, walkout basement, indoor arena (154'X66'), extra horse barn/hay shed...yada yada. It was on the market with an agent for two years, I pulled it for two months, put it on Zill...

Tarlo Farm

Oh no! Ouch! Good excuse to eat lots of calcium too.

Tarlo Farm

You're getting lots of great ideas, Piedmont had a super list, as did Fergusnc. I'm a big fan of run-ins (or one big run-in) instead of stalls. I'm on my fourth barn and would never do it any other way. Make sure you have plenty of light in your barn; watch the roofline and snow slide/wind/rain; big...

Tarlo Farm

OMG, I'm so sorry for both you and the horse. I agonize over being glad I wasn't home when my dressage mare died of torque (essentially a suffocation) and wishing I'd been there to do SOMETHING. So helpless and frustrating. And so sad. Hugs for your awful situation.

Tarlo Farm

OH! I'm so sorry. As others have said, he was warm, fed, and loved when he died.

Tarlo Farm

hahahaha! Well done! Speaking of scammers, mind if I hijack and put out a caution to folks that online "free trial" (just pay shipping) are usually just ways of getting your credit card information to set you up for repeated withdrawals from your account. READ the fine print.

Tarlo Farm

Better a day too early, than an hour too late.

Tarlo Farm

I would much rather euth her a month too early than have her suffer even a few extra days, if that makes sense. She has been SUCH a good dog. Of course it does and of course she has been. IMHO, to do otherwise is cruel and disrespectful of her dignity and our role as caretakers of our pets. I'm sor...

Tarlo Farm

I saw the one in 1992 (?) It was total in our area. Don't expect it to be DARK. The sun spills so much light that the skies will darken, but not be dark. Hoping for clear skies for ya'll!

Tarlo Farm

"wrong height" Too short?

Tarlo Farm

Blistering.... bleh. Primitive IMHO. Fingers crossed for you.

Hey there!

The Stable Flies have very particular behaviors and needs: Warm and low. The heat indicates blood. I've got some traps from Farnam that are amazing if they're placed properly; in the sun, almost on the ground. The Stable Flies hatch about every two weeks and are active for about five days, usually w...

Tarlo Farm

Just a vent. I'm now using good fly traps and have the critters on a feed-through fly control, but damn...! When I lived 14 miles from the lake they weren't ever as bad as they get now that I'm closer to the lake. (These are the flies that bite you on the beach or out boating on a calm day) Bloody B...

And tell him those of us who have experienced random, sudden, deadly colic, cry with him.

Tarlo Farm

Please keep us updated! Tell Dave there are a bunch of us pulling for him and his new unicorn.

I know this is off the subject, but I couldn't resist. What about horses?

Tarlo Farm

OMG, I'm so sorry. Thank you for rescuing him and giving him four great years.

Tarlo Farm

My flashes have considerably lessened in the last years but I get them in response to anxiety/nervousness/stress and the sweat smells different. I can drip sweat when physically working but won't stink. Under the situation described - like finding my boat taking on water while a half mile from the ...

Tarlo Farm

When I was a kid we had a new Kitchenaid put in. Lasted 38 years. The second one lasted two.

Tarlo Farm

Hot flashes occur when it's 40 degrees.

And 80. And 20. When you're lying still.

Tarlo Farm

I'd guess a Linden also. Does it smell wonderful? Can you take a photo of both the front and back of a leaf pulled from the tree? And a close-up of the bark?

Tarlo Farm

My Kenmore is both quiet, and has an option to just wash the top shelf. All kinds of washing options actually. Very low energy consumption.

Tarlo Farm

If you do need one, I bought a new Kenmore three years ago. It's fabulous, has a great repair record, and you can probably pick them up pretty cheaply now.

Tarlo Farm

Saddlebum, it's Easy Living Flooring in Ludington. The last flooring I've had installed though not carpet, came from Lowes and their installers were fabulous!

Tarlo Farm

I went to a local floor place run by people I know and trust. Sorry. Look for "Industrial" or "Commercial" Application. The kind of stuff put in offices and banks. It's durable, low pile, and often not too expensive.

Tarlo Farm

Awwwwwwww, I LOVE fox kits!

Tarlo Farm

I like to wait a week, but it really does depend on how much rain we get. With my paddocks it takes a week to get around to the one I've sprayed anyway.

Tarlo Farm

My experience has been that horses will never eat the toxic stuff as long as they have good things to eat. My sprayer is about a 50 gallon unit I bought from TS. You could pull it behind a 4 wheeler as long as you can hook the electrical for the pump to the battery. On my tractor, I simply take off ...

Tarlo Farm

Horses at home for - oh gawd, almost 40 years now, in four different locations, same two-county area. I spray. I spray a broadleaf weedkiller on the pastures that need it, once, maybe twice a year depending on the weeds. I use a small sprayer, kind of like a backpack sprayer to kill stuff that may e...

Tarlo Farm

First grade. My mom was late to pick me up - I was the last one left on the playground - and when she arrived, she was crying. Just read a memorial to his service in the Navy. I'd forgotten that because he was such a strong swimmer, he saved almost all his crew by dragging them, sometimes one-at-a-t...

Tarlo Farm

Crazy to think of this.

Tarlo Farm

"Beautiful!" kind of wood.

Tarlo Farm

Great insulation, HUGE maintenance issues though. If the logs are round, they collect dust. No matter what shape they are, they need to be sealed as regularly as wood sided houses need to be painted/stained.
