We had to cut down a broken and low-hanging branch from the apple tree Sunday, the pony and donkeys were not interested in it, but we threw it over the pasture fence and it was a great among the sheep. We very rarely have to throw anything edible away around here, if the chickens don’t want it the donkeys or the sheep or the horse will.

The sheep swarmed over this branch like a bunch of locusts, it was stripped bare this morning, they are now working on the bark. We are wasting less and less here, simplifying, tidying up, organizing, thinking about what we are using and needing. For most of my life, I would have just thrown the branch into the woods. We always think about sharing wast here.
