Well, poor little sick guinea pig was fine when I left for work. Upright, moving a bit. But, by the time I got home, there was no trace of him […]
Well, this morning I moved Alchymyst to a temporary cage with a nesting box, as her and Magician were hormonal as all get out! While I was out, I got […]
I leave on Saturday morning at 7 AM to go to Long Beach, CA for the Soil Science Society for America meeting (so excited, many things that I planned and […]
Last night, I noticed that Albie was in labor. Her back was hunched and she was grunting. Usually, labor takes an hour maximum. Three hours later, she was still in […]
Well, I got my tuition refund, so it is about time to buy some much needed supplies for the rabbitry. I have a bunch of rabbits coming due, and needed […]
I really love my guinea pig farming experiment. Today, it is the once monthly sort, in which young males get moved to the male cage (they have fertility after 3 weeks!), […]

So, a few weeks ago, I was interviewed for a Women in STEM podcast, talking about my love for soil science, my Citizen Science Program, and the various people that […]
I do a lot of workshops with youth on weekends (including my Citizen Science programs). Most of these workshops involve teaching about the 12 different soil textures, which are made […]
I spent the night last nigh resorting my guinea pigs. Since all of the females that I got from VA had their babies, it was time to rebreed. One of […]
