Day Begins

"As the leaves blow in the cool fall air, I am reminded that winter will soon be here. The hay is stored in the barn, the firewood in the shed, and meat and produce preserved, I feel secure. My family sleeps as I kindle a fire in the cookstove. The kitchen warms. Fresh eggs and milk, bacon for breakfast. I am a father, husband, farmer, hunter and provider. Another day has begun." RW

Up to Camp - Working Vacation

Spring is racing by so fast as we say goodbye to May and welcome to June. We managed to make it to New Sweden last weekend to enjoy the clean air and beautiful views, and to work on the camp. Vacations for us are usually enjoyed best with busy hands. This weekend we insulated some more, installed some interior sheathing and built the porch deck. The kiddos were helpful and we are glad to have been able to spend a few days away. If all goes well we will have the camp ready for a winter visit this year.
Girls enjoy some quiet time in the camp loft.

This trip north we also delivered two of our spring lambs to our neighbor in Stockholm. The Small's 50 acres of grass fields will be a nice home for the lambs. The lambs will also enjoy the scenic views as they grow big and fat this summer.
