Webster Ridge Farm was an old apple orchard

Brandon O. Sussman Born :June 5, 1955 Died: September 20, 2018

My wedding was over 34 years ago... but I still remember my 3rd date with Brandon(we met through Together Dating service, he was my 5th date)....I knew when I left the restaurant I was in deep trouble....I was falling in love with this guy and after reading some of his journals from before he met me...he knew there was someone for him...it was me. God , I miss him!

---

We brought the 91 acre property in 1998 and moved in April of that year. Brandon always wanted a apple orchard. But this property was long out of use when we bought it.  It had been the largest orchard in Merrimack County in the 30's and 40's with 3,000 standard apple trees. 

Brandon was a tech guy , but was extremely good at any craft or skill he took up. He built a pole barn, a shed for the donkey, shelters for the goats, a free standing chicken house and a chicken house attached to the pole barn. He also helped to put up the timber frame kitchen  Addition and did most of the work himself on the interior and exterior structural panels. He was a very handy guy!

He also was the only person I knew who could read computer books and manuals and understand them! 
He was taught to do plumbing and other skills from the master plumbers, masons and carpenters  who worked for him when he owned a bath and kitchen renovation business.

Have a look around

Welcome to the Daily Page

The flock is outside and the lambs sleep on the snow, but they also go into the barn to play!

The lambs are starting to hang out more together. The two lambs who were singles hang out together quite a bit and I found them standing on top of my big ram Drummer, then they jumped to an overturned stock tank that I use in the summer. They are fairly adventurous, I frequently hear Presto's mother calling her, but she doesn't always come when she calls. Presto's mother is Tempo and she tends to be a more hands on, overprotective mom...but her daughter is not a shy flower....she keeps up with Bandit's boy, Bandoleer with no problem!
Soon all the lambs will be running around like a school of fish....practicing jumping, running and wiggling....learning how to be a sheep and what their body can do. Being a prey animal , this is important as they need to have a quick fight or flight response!  It is very fun to watch them ...I guess it is like the zoomies, but a bit more choreographed.

The 5 former hospice chickens enjoy hanging out in the doorway of the first barn....especially if it is sunny!
