Hello folks. How are things in your corner of the globe? After a long layoff, the Farmer is back. Things are slowing in my day job, so now it's time to focus on the firewood for next year, getting ready for maple sugaring season and kidding time in the goat barn.
As the human children get bigger both the Farmer and Gatherer are continuing with our coaching duties in the softball, baseball and basketball programs here in town. It's fun to see our kids enjoying the benefits of growing up on a farm and getting the opportinities to play sports, a luxury for sure.
My latest project was installing a snow plow on my pickup truck. Back in 1996 I bought a 1964 International Scout with a plow for $50. It needed lots of work, but I had it running the first day, and it kept our driveway plowed for fifteen years. A good investment for sure. Last winter I decided it was time to enjoy power steering, a heater and brakes on my plow truck. So I traded the old Scout with another local farmer for a manure spreader. So it forced me to get a plow for my work truck, which I did. Let it snow.
I'll post some pics soon, so you can see the new sights here at Juniper Hill Farm.
