JESSIE MAE TENCH WISE, December 10, 1937 -- November 10, 2024. My so-loved, much-treasured mother died this morning at 6:20 AM. Here's the confounding thing: when my father died in the spring, I knew what I wanted to put in his obituary. It flowed out and felt accurate to who he was. Mom, I am confounded. Your life was so complicated and beautiful, and constrained and free, and unexpected and absolutely by the book. You were so Southern Baptist and 100% NOT Southern Baptist; you would never have

HE HAS A NAME! Meet Bartholomew Cubbins PHF, one week old today! And boy, can he run. He's made good use of that week. (Because we're going to register him as an Oldenburg cross, his name has to begin with a B.) | Susan Wise Bauer

Guys, this is my life right now. That is HOLLY POLLEN, which was so heavy today that we watched it curl and blow across the farm, as if we are in a particularly heavy-handed M. Night Shyamalan horror film in which nature is doing its level best to KILL us. Excuse me while I go wipe my nose (again). | Susan Wise Bauer

Well, y'all, I survived three pretty awful days of a violent cold in London, which definitely wasn't in my plans and altered my schedule quite a bit. BUT last night I caught the Caledonian Sleeper to Inverness, and although I'm still coughing, I'm headed for the Isle of Skye. Stopped halfway at the Cluanie Inn to meditate on a great mystery: why Scottish inns almost ALWAYS serenade you with the greatest hits of the 80s. Sound up if you want proof. | Susan Wise Bauer

I am home!! Here's a thing that horses do. When a member of the herd has been away and then comes back, all the other herd horses gallop around like crazy things to welcome them back. Here's my five-year-old draft-Hanoverian cross Firefly and my six-month-old draft-Oldenberg cross Tuck, welcoming me home. They were so glad to see me. And the feeling was mutual. | Susan Wise Bauer

Baby horse update! We're at the Outer Banks on family vacation but I'm missing my little guy, so my farm manager sent along a Sunday morning video of Tuck having breakfast in bed. Happy holiday weekend to all of you, and may you also enjoy breakfast in bed if the mood strikes! | Susan Wise Bauer

102.1 102.2 103.4 Three lovely numbers. When I first started shepherding, I spent every lambing and kidding season fretting over whether the babies were eating. Had we seen them nursing? Did their bellies feel full? Were they alert? Were they hungry? Then a second-hand book by a 1950s-era shepherd clued me in. For the first 24 hours, you TAKE THEIR TEMPERATURES. That's it. Sheep and goats generate heat from the inside. If they're eating, their body temps stay in the normal range (for babies, tha

Finally made it to Chicago for tomorrow's American Historical Association panel. Headed out to find a burger before bed...and every joint in the city has the Packers-Bears wild card game on the screen and is stuffed with fans. I love Chicago. It's so purely its own particular thing. I've missed being here. | Susan Wise Bauer

I was away at a conference this weekend (more about that tomorrow) and came back just in time to do bed check on the new lambs (my kids held the fort in the meantime, BLESS THEM). Three day old Leicester Longwool twins, internal dialogue probably sounds something like this: LOOK, I HAVE LEGS! AWESOME! WHAT ARE LEGS? OH, I FOUND THE LEGS! THESE ARE LEGS! LET'S PLAY! WHAT IS PLAY? THAT THING YOU'RE DOING! OK, I'LL DO IT SOME MORE! (Mom internal dialogue: What on God's green earth are you doing and

Our first ewe to lamb--just after midnight! This morning her two babies (dark ram lamb, big and placid, and his much smaller white sister, feisty and hungry) are up, moving around, and nursing. She's a first-time mother and was a little confused, at first, about the arrival of TWO lambs, but she's adjusted beautifully. | Susan Wise Bauer

LAMBING HAS STARTED, a little early! We weren't expecting our first lambs until next week, but our Merino ewes have jumped the gun a bit--white twins, girl and boy, and then an hour later a lovely black Merino girl with a white cap from a first-time mama. | Susan Wise Bauer

Just posted this on our farm page but I thought you'd all enjoy it too! Our first kids and lambs aren't actually due for another three weeks or so, and this Angora doe was NOT in a breeding group. She's a great-grandma, in fact, and was supposed to be enjoying a peaceful retirement. But we did have a couple of Angora-buck-jailbreaks that resulted in bucks escaping from their bachelor's quarters and hanging around the doe barn. Apparently, one of them (at least) did a little more than just hang a

After travelling and Thanskgiving, I'm getting back into the routine of a farm in the fall. My older dressage mare is finally back under saddle after injuring herself this fall; she's put on a wee bit of weight (draft horses do that in the fall) so we're doing long slow fitness rides. This one took us around the neighboring fields on an astoundingly lovely fall evening. (Draft horses also fluff up with a lot of winter coat, hence the very fuzzy rabbit ears.) | Susan Wise Bauer

It's been an insane week. Back home now. From Wednesday night, here's Neil Gaiman explaining why independent publishers (W. W. Norton, yes, but also Well Trained Mind Press and many other small, struggling, counterculture publishers) matter. One of my favorite writers, and one of my most respected publishers, at this crazy plush event at Cipriani in NYC. Most publishing parties are pretty grubby. (That's publishing.) This one was NOT grubby in the slightest. I still need to grab the photos of me

Just for fun. 馃檪 Some of you may remember that last fall I posted our very first effort ever at a musical dressage freestyle. We worked on it over the winter and last weekend we got our first qualifying score for regional championships. Lower level musical freestyles (this one is Second Level) are not the most exciting thing in the world to watch, but they're an important stepping stone as you work to move up through the levels, and I'm proud of the training we've put in. This is Third Ghost, No

Susan Wise Bauer wrote these words long before the rise of AI, but they feel more relevant than ever. We have endless access to data, but wisdom still takes time, reflection, and human thought. AI can summarize, predict, and organize, but it can鈥檛 understand. It can鈥檛 wrestle with meaning, emotion, or truth the way we can. That鈥檚 why the ultimate goal of education shouldn't be memorizing or mimicking; rather, it should be about thinking, creating, and connecting ideas. Let鈥檚 teach our children (

Two sets of twins in two days! Last night's big twin is here with his little brother, in the lambing pen next to yesterday's new mama with her boy/girl twins. They'll stay in for a couple of days until the babies are strong enough to keep up with the rest of the flock. | Susan Wise Bauer

Well, we've officially given up on our attempts to make it to the Shetland Isles, which was going to be our northernmost stop. Shetland is buried in snow and all the flights are cancelled, so we're staying in Inverness. But that meant an extra night in which we could go see Schiehallion at Hootananny, which is an Inverness pub known for live music. A definite silver lining! https://www.hootanannyinverness.co.uk/ | Susan Wise Bauer

SIDEBAR from the consideration of vital issues of national importance in education and history and so forth to announce that A NEW BABY HORSE ARRIVED THIS MORNING. My broodmare Cheyenne, mother to my current dressage mare Noel and future dressage prospect Firefly, was expecting her next baby sometime in May. That baby arrived, suddenly, this morning. He's a chestnut colt with white socks and roan legs and a tricolor tail, a little early but determined to make it in this world. Addendum, since th

My parents put a huge amount of thought, time, and creative energy into the great room that they added onto our old farmhouse. They used panelling from a turn-of-the-century barn on the property, put in a wood stove with a top-of-the-line chimney, and designed the room to be welcoming. In the last decade of their lives, their horizons narrowed. They were afraid of fire, so they pulled out the wood stove and put in gas logs. The great room became cluttered and dark. It was barely used and became
