"Oh, my favorite animal!" "Goats are your favorite, Grampa?" "I've always loved goats!" . Phoebe and Rachel, the newest cute animal ambassadors at Rivers End Ranch, came home today. Thank you to @spenkerfamilyfarm for getting us started! 💚🐐 . . #conversationswithGrampa #dwarfnigeriangoats #babygoats #wegotkids #riversendlivermore #riversendranch

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a blogger and that someday I'll write things for publications with titles other than "Biological Control." So I procrastinated on a pub for Biological Control by writing something on my blog. Link in bio. ✌🏼️💚 . . #biologicalcontrol #riversendlivermore #riversendranch #wheresguera

Pretty much sums up our #ranchlife: getting dirty, drinking beer, and laughing with my Grampa. His photography skills are on point, but to be fair, he said "I pushed the button, and nothing happened." 😂💚✌🏼️ . . #conversationswithGrampa #buildingpatios #takingnames

Happy International Biodiversity Day! #soapbox alert: A few, large mammals anchor this photo, but they feed upon multiple grass species, which are supported by a soil filled with a multitude of insect, nematode, spider, bacteria, etc etc. species. Those soils also support our majestic oaks, which provide habitat for countless birds, shade for deer and cows, help harvest groundwater, and even provide food for patient humans in the form of acorns. I've been feeling pretty lucky lately that this is the spot that cultivated my appreciation for diverse ecosystems and cultures. 💚🌎✌🏼️. . . #internationalbiodiversityday #biodiversity #biodiversidad #diadebiodiversidad #llamas #dominothellama #riversendlivermore #riversendranch

"Grampa, here's some loquat jam." "Well I only eat hiquats!" "Good one Grampa!" "What are you doing?" "Bringing you and Mom jam." "OK, whatever works." . . #conversationswithGrampa

My butterfly pancakes didn't look like butterflies, and that was the worst thing about this weekend. 😂🙄🦋 . . #ranchlife #homesteading #cabinlife #riversendlivermore #riversendranch #alamedacounty #piesandpickles
