I raise Scottish Highland cattle, honeybees & have a maple operation on a small farm in Maine USA. In winter, I write books. Oh, and I love chickens : )

What is life w/o a pond? Heaven is sitting by the pond listening to the birds regale us & knowing the peepers & wood frogs are in the wings.

@MoiraDonegan @MaineMillennial I tell women they also need to have their own house, too, in your name only. And good gracious, if you live in his (or her/their) house and contribute financially, your name should be on that deed.

@elonmusk That's why God created women to break the cycle and clean up men's sh**.

@LovinRuralLife Right now the bees are pretty occupied with the goldenrod, haha.

Enjoying our 1/2 acre wildflower garden, and so are the bees, butterflies, and birds.

Day lilies starting to show off.

@LovinRuralLife We used to mow this 1/2 acre and I finally convince my husband to put it into plants. He loves it now.

[Jen Wixson 🐝 @ChickenJen]

Our front lawn. Somebody got a little carried away with the wildflower mix. #Maine #farming #gardening The #honeybees and #nativepollinators are loving the mix, and so are we.

On the case of the Maine milk-truck drivers who, for want of a comma, won an appeal against their employer, Oakhurst Dairy. https://t.co/rQU8Yjw50P

Windows open, it is so warm today. Let the sun shine in! (Oh, right.)

Husband just ventured to the snow-frocked window. I held my breath as he gazed at the vista of snow. He hates winter. "Well, at least I can take a day off from sawing logs today," he said cheerfully. "I'll just rest and put wood into the stove instead." Total shocker.

[Jen Wixson 🐝 @ChickenJen]

First wood frog croaked yesterday. More today. Guess they haven't looked at a recent weather forecast.

[Jen Wixson 🐝 @ChickenJen]

Winter finally arrived in Maine. Better late than never!

[Jen Wixson 🐝 @ChickenJen]

My husband has some blossoms on the little peach trees he planted in his greenhouse. Nice winter day to be inside there. Strawberries and herbs in the background.

Sun just came out. Time to go shovel.

@harrylitman @allinwithchris Can't we just give Texas back to Mexico? I think that would solve a lot of problems.
