Man oh man, farming can be really difficult sometimes. I often joke to people that farming is my hobby.  But more often than not, it feels like a full time job.

There is always something to tackle here on the farm.

Sometimes its the animals, and you wake up to your neighbors livestock in your yard, or even worse, your livestock in theirs! Sometimes there are projects to be tackled in the house, like preserving vegetables, or preparing for an event. Other times there are trials and tribulations with equipment, or moving animals, the list goes on! Although the work sometime feels endless, I always try to remember how worthwhile it is. A hard day’s work always makes me appreciate the easy days.

 

That being said, my chances to connect with you folks have been few and far between these days!

During the summer I find myself daydreaming about lazy fall days. In my head, whatever season is next seems to be the easy going one, but that is rarely the case. Even the fall isn’t always peaceful when you have to handle all the preparations for winter…and winter brings a bigger workload…too bad these cows can’t feed themselves!

All that to say, I really appreciate your understanding when there are times that it’s not easy for me to keep in touch.

I have, over the past few weeks, collected some pretty funny tales that I am chomping at the bit to tell you all! Sadly, there have been some things that need my attention that simply cannot wait. I guess that’s what makes this blog a bit different than most others, farming isn’t much of a science…it’s a lot of rolling with the punches and doing what you can, when you can. So that’s what we are doing, same as always. You’ll be hearing from me soon, I promise you that! We have some pretty exciting things on the way! Christmas is right around the corner, and the endless preparations for that will lead to even more stories for you.

As always, if you ever have any questions drop us a line. We love hearing from ya!
