Dichotomy

Once upon a time, a young (and devilishly handsome) man had a whirlwind of activity disrupt his normally mundane and relatively peaceful existence. Shortly after the dust had settled, Brad found himself moving from New Westminster, BC to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, BC.

Certainly not the first move of my life, or the longest, but one that would completely change my way of life. I was living in an apartment. Working as an assistant manager for a retail movie rental company. Scraping by, but still almost to the point of being comfortable.

After a not-so-brief stint of living at my parent's place, I met a woman by the name of Erin. Erin's family has owned a farm for the last seven generations. Along with my daughter Caeleigh, we moved in with Erin. Soon I had my own coop of chickens and was helping feed cattle.

A gazebo was built, complete with firepit. This undertaking helped my father and I grow closer, finally having a large project to work on. I've never had any interest in building things, in fact things I did build were either too rickety to stand, or didn't look like the original plan I had going into it.

Recently, I've acquired a much larger coop and the current chicken count is somewhere close to 70. There's also a horse on the farm now, and the very real possibility of a second horse being added to the family.

This little blog is to keep you updated on the mundane and not so mundane happenings around the farm, from new additions of livestock (recent hatches too!), to new buildings and happenings.

Thanks for reading!
