Uuuups!

Working on a farm includes plenty of memorable moments!

Somethimes tractors and their chaffeurs need rescuing, and these operations, well….. enjoy the show! Here are a few glimpses of what could be seen as the downside of farming.

Farming is fun! Tractors are fun, and sometimes playing in the dirt is not as much fun as one would think…

Et glimt av sommeren på Vaag 23/1 – 2024

Sommer og travle, men gode tider på gården!

Velkommen til verden, lille venn!
Kviger på sommerferie.
Enda flere kviger på sommerferie.

Kul, kulere, kulest!

En melkeskvett i fjøsdøra må til.
En del av melkekyra på gården, en rimelig tidlig morgen, og de  har absolutt ikke tid til å besøke melkeroboten riktig enda…
Hestene har også sommerferie, men har tid til å hilse på såvidt.

 

 

Desember i Ytre Namdal

Når solnedgangen setter inn tidlig på ettermidaggen er det verdt å ta en pust i bakken og bare nyte roa og det vakre lyset.

Desember i Ytre Namdal kan være villvær men også blankstille og terapi for sjela.

Just good lookin’ Scottish Highlanders!

A small series of photos of the part of our herd living outside year round.

Iris, Juni, Nigne, Olivia, Otelie, Pia, Rolf, Quart, Tomine, Tobias, Truls and Tix leading up to the latter part of 2023.

Enjoy!

Therapy!

Sometimes just being behind is totally all right!

Vaag back in the day – about 1965ish

This picture is from back in the 1960’s (probably), and the image shows Vaag, farm no. 23/1. The red buildings down left is Vågheim and above you it, the white house to the left is Nytun (still standing, just different color). Vågheim is where my riding track is located today. The buildings of Vågheim was torn down in the early 1990’s.

The area around was called Vågsgrenda, and consisted of around 10 little farms and severeal smaller houses. Today there are only two farms left. Some of the older farmbuildings are still standing, but most of them are gone. Modern times led to different patterns of locating houses, and now Vågsgrenda has sort of transformed into “Fikkan”. Fikkan is really on the other side of the bay Vågsvågen, but the name is now used for Vågsgrenda due to the school that used to be close by and now the houses built more centered in “municipal building areas” around the school-building.

First month of Spring….

The weather is warmer, still cold and an abundance of snow, but luckily the days are longer and brighter.

At the same time, the Moon has not gone quite away.
