Wolf Branch Homestead's Project 365

Hi everyone, and welcome to our BYC Project 365 thread, where we will attempt to document some of each day's happenings through photos here at Wolf Branch Homestead. Based in Alabama, my husband and I have worked alongside eachother since 2014 on this beautiful land. We enjoy sharing videos of the wildlife, crafting, raising and training our animal friends, among many other projects. My goal is to document a little bit of everything, not just with the flock, but daily life. This journal will be a great way to remember this year. We are getting a late start, but will attempt to carry out every single day for 365 days. Thank you for joining us!​

Day #1:
In the last hours of the day, we sit listening to James Spann our state’s wonderful weatherman with live coverage of a storm system moving into and through the state. For years we have trusted his wisdom on these storms and will be listening intently through the evening. Almost the same time last year, we stayed awake during a particularly horrible storm system moving through where he was live for hours warning and watching. We were alert and prepared and fortunate. One can hope all will be safe tonight. Here’s to safety of the people, the animals, the homes, the livelihoods. No major damage or power outages.

Day 2: March 12th, 2026
I went to visit my friend this morning as colder and windier weather moved in. I have been missing her alot as I always do, but as things change here I wish she was here to see everything and be a part of it. I know that she was ill at the end, but there were so many years of exploration and togetherness. I don't know that I will ever encounter such a well-rounded pup again. She would have loved meeting the new ducks and turkeys. I hope she's been able to meet back up with her old puppy and kitty friends. Time has been weathering her marker and collar. Wolf Branch has become a lot of what it is because of her and lessons learned from and with her.

(didn't get to finish writing yesterday, but photo and beginning on day 2)

I used to live in Alabama, and spring is soooo beautiful yet scary at the same time! I miss the abundance of flowers and emerging life everywhere - but not the tornadoes! Praying for safety!
