All Activity

The actor playing MJ is his nephew....

It's an awesome place! Cafe, greenhouse, gifts, farm store.... and the dinner and craft events are wonderful!

The Indian and the dog statue ( not shown here ) ended up in front of the train station. I have a pic of that somewhere, I’ll try to find it. I think it was broken by vandals. Probably the same fate the others met.

I wonder happened to all the statues

I guess it was only a matter of time. Not something I’m gonna rush right out and watch though.

@Abby goes a couple of times a year for their craft and dinner thing.

They kept a lot of the old architecture, particularly when you first walk in and the auditorium. It’s really impressive. Hell I’d consider living there!

Beautiful. I remember when it was still a school. lol. I lived right down the street in college.

My sister in laws go down there once a month. Have been by numerous times and haven't stopped yet.

With the arrival of spring, Eldridge Park is reopening. So let's take a look at the park's earliest years! Dr. Edwin Eldridge, whose vision started it all. Eldridge Park layout, 1870's c. 1870's c. 1870's c.1876 The Dance Hall, exact date unknown Just a few of the statues found throughout the park Andromeda Horse races, exact date unknown c. 1875 The Springhouse, c. 1870's c. 1890's The Bear Pit, early 1900's

I'll start. We have about a dozen and a half laying hens who favor the top tier of a 6 sectioned nesting box. This causes them to bunch up in there as well as break eggs. They somehow managed to break the perch to get into the lower portion a long time ago so they simply didn't use it. Recently I was watching a Joel Salatin video and it occurred to me that maybe, in addition to the perch missing, the bottom tier was simply too low for their liking. So the other day I raised the whole unit up a foot or two. I also built a new perch, attached to the floor, so they can get in. I'm not showing you a pic because my tools are scattered all over and I was working with what I could find. Let's just say it won't win any carpentry awards. But it works. I threw a couple wooden "dummy eggs" in and rght away they started using the bottom tier. A simple fix.

This will be an ongoing topic for a potpourri of things pertaining to rural living in general. It could be sharing your new adventures with chickens, what you've been up to on the homestead, or perhaps asking a question. Pretty much anything goes here.

Afte seeing what can be done with an old school building at Academy Place in Corning, there should be more of this going on in the area.

For the time being, we'll stop doing the weekly "We Want To Know..." because it's not getting a lot of response.

A Bradford County business that's been a staple in the Towanda area for more than 20 years has been recognized for its success with a national award.

Seed is here , maybe one more time with prepping the ground … dang thats a lot of seed lol ! But then it’s a big plot so we shall see .

Well....I guess there's been a few more details. Source But apparently the locals are concerned it could still happen and held a Public Forum last week where Advocates spoke out Thursday against a proposal to build a nuclear power plant in the Finger Lakes region.

Liquidation sale would have been a better description. lol

I don’t get it, but okay. 🤷‍♂️

We watched right up until the astronauts walked (!) into the medical bay. You raise a good point. Neil DeGrasse Tyson warned that society shouldn’t get to a point of taking space exploration for granted again. Though I don’t know that we could, as each trip gets us closer and closer to Mars. On second thought, yeah, I’m sure it’d be all to easy to take for granted.
