Posted on January 27th, 2024

Catching up on Cold and Wet

Posted on December 2nd, 2023
Although damp and cold isn't our favorite, we were due for a change in the weather.  The dry and mostly warmer than average fall allowed us to get some things done around the farm.  We are glad for the rain even if it makes outdoor work a bit less comfortable.  We still have a few mo1 read more »

Back at it after a Happy Thanksgiving
