Field Journal


Date:04/04/18
Day of Week:Thursday
Location:934 Sunrise Blvd. Old Stonehouse Farm, next to 512
Time:1200 hours
Observation:Andrew Dunne “My Boss”
Habitat: We are unloading 16 bales off our Allis Chalmers Loader. We are stacking it in the red horse barn that has 6 stales. 1 is filled with a black horse grinding his teeth off the rails and pawing his left hoof. The other 2 on the left hand side are empty. The far right one stores our goats and the middle one has the stallion in it. We are stacking the hay in the front right one so when we feed the horses we already have it close. As we are unloading it the goats who are out keep jumping on bales, butting heads and eating anything in sight. When I look through the barn I see 3 black horses and a white one neighing because they see the hay and are hungry.
Weather: about 35 degrees with the sun showing and 10 mph winds coming out of the west.
Remarks: I see goats and horses while trying to focus on getting that perfect angel to roll the bale to Andy so he does not have to move to pick up the bale and stack it.
Comments: I learned that goats love to eat anything and they have a solid head because they keep ramming them into each others head. I am motivated to keep working and put out more hay in 3 other spots.













Date-04/04/18
Day of the Week-Wednesday
Location- 96 Mount Bethel Highway...Miler's Egg Ranch...near the Trolley Shop and where 611 and 512 meet
Time-1400 hours
Observation-Alone
Habitat-I am sitting on a giant teddy bear made from 4 big round hay bales as the paws,body,and head. The 7 smaller square bales are for the ears,hands and nose. While I sit on the right paw I am looking over a 2 acre corn field that has no corn left in it. To my right are 2 big corn silos, the one is blue and the other is silver. The one corn silo has an osprey's nest at the top of it that has been there for 4 years now. On the outside of the field are bare naked trees blowing in the wind.
Weather-50 degrees out with overcast and 22mph winds, low humidity
Remarks-I am cold since I just have a red flannel on and my butt is getting damp from the wet hay bales. I am feeling peaceful watching nature do its thing.
Comments-I find it funny trying to watch the ospreys flying against the wind because they tr hard but never get anywhere. I am motivated to get back to work.

AF Camacho

Anissa Florence Camacho (A-nis-a)

Well my dudes I was lucky enough to have Anissa Camacho. She is 18 years old and was born on April 7th in Bethlehem, PA. She has two sisters that are both younger than her. Their names are Tat and Bella and we can't forget about her brother, Gabriel! Anissa has many exotic animals, such as a hedgehog(Mikko), two bearded dragons(Mushu/Duey), two geckos(Ares/Nyx) and two snakes (Daenerys/Drogo). Oh,we can't forget about her dog Max.
This is Miss. Camacho's first semester at Northampton Community College. Before that she attended Northampton High School where she was on the step team and was a captain for two years. She currently has a job at a pet store named Dart Frogs to Dogs. Coming into NCC she did not know what she wanted to do with her life, so she is just doing General Studies for now. She told me she wants her future to be evolved around animals so she is leaning towards a marine biologist.
Thee Anissa Camcho is a night owl. She goes to bed very late and wakes up very late. She normally wakes up around 10:30/11 o'clock. She does not like the morning whats so ever. She actually claims she is allergic to the morning!This girl right here is a vegetarian which is the complete opposite of me because I work on a farm where we raise live stock to butcher and eat.
Some interesting facts about her is she has seven tattoos (neck/survivor- fox/left shoulder-rose/right shoulder-hello Kitty riding a dolphin/right inner arm-mommy&daughter tattoo/chest-hammerhead shark/left thigh-sun&moon/right arm). She can beat box, but only for approximately 5 seconds because of her asthma. She owns a blue 2006 Volkswagen Beatle named Mikey, which is manual. This girl is so extra she took an Ancestry DNA test which came back saying she is mainly Italian and Puerto Rican, with 3% Asian. Her favorite food is her mom's homemade mac and cheese.


Anissa Florence Camacho is very extra and says my dude and man in every sentence.
