Much enjoyed this long awaited update on the mayhem and misgendering happenings at EIVS. How I envy your plethora of fresh cow and goat milk, unadulterated by homogenization and other terrible things done to perfect food, but how blessed you and Ed Jr are to have it. May I suggest that you post videos of the cheese and butter making? I'm sure you will have some clever upgrades to the process we would all like to know about.
Even though I have no rustic wood burning stove or fireplace, I am going to begin making the EIVS Cob-400 to have in the event of some catastrophic event that may take out my modern electric heating, as I have a lovely river birch right out my back door, and a build up of cobs I've collected in the overflowing trashcan in my bathroom.
Tell Susan that his manly maleness far exceeds the embarrassment of his female appellation and not to go being a brute just to overcome it.
And last, I'm in love with the rotunda. Please don't ever dismantle it🙏
In your second-to-last photo with Susan and Sabrina on their high perch, there is a painting with an ET piloting flying saucer beaming up a cow next to the barn. Perhaps I missed it if you posted this in the past, but it is quite good! The work of Ed junior, I presume?
Oh my gosh! That was amazing. I have been giggling away at your cob-400 in action video, so funny and an excellent idea ... Candle wax also makes an excellent fire starter more like thermite than nuclear though, hehehe.
Wasn't John Wayne's real name Susan, or Tracy or something ... I think cats choose their own name and implant it in your mind via the wormhole link they set up when they decide you are good enough to be allowed to share the house they find themselves in ... So if he wants to called Susan ... Then Susan he shall be xx
Tovarich, this is an ancient Russkie pro tip: after plying yourself and all of your animals with vodka the genders could never matter, thus it becomes impossible to misgender.
Vyipit' do dna (not to be confused w/ Modified nRMA slow kill bioweapon "vaccines")!
Started to make a fire then got distracted and read your post. The little ones so full of joy! I had a kitten that was a girl, and named accordingly, that turned into a boy too! (The best cat ever!) Then I made up a Cob-400 to light my fire. Thanks for getting me to laugh at the start of my day and for spreading the joy!
I'm so sorry this happened Riley. What a coincidence. I recently misgendered my parents' cat too. Perhaps future cultural changes will shape the image of feline feminity. 😾
I love the Cob-400! When I in Vermont, I used toilet paper cylinders and birch bark to light my stove, but never together like this. What a great invention!
Here in the Sierra Nevada, there are no birch trees, unfortunately. So I use hand-split pine kindling. I miss the birch bark, a fantastic fire starter.
Johnny Cash had a song about your cat.
My thoughts exactly.....and now I can't say the same thing too !

A cat named Sue? ;-)
What a blessing that was. In this crazy mess of a world, I couldn't ask for anything better. God bless my friend.

That excellent painting is actually the work of Ekaterina's daughter. It really ties the room together.
Great report----delightful videos!

John Wayne's real name was Marion Robert Morrison.

Thank you for getting me grounded with the beauty of life before we are all MRNA'd
Your cat has a song! 🐈🐾😻🎸

I loved watching this God activity.

So impressed by your hardiness to the inclement climate not to mention your adaptability to tough rural life.
