Thank You

Let's all take a few precious moments this Memorial weekend to think about and thank our military and their families.

Rain comes just in time

"It's springtime in the country and the pasture grass in greenin up real good" Dave Mallett. The spring rain is welcome after a dry few weeks. The grass was just waiting for some water to take off. After watching the PBS special on the Dust Bowl, I'm glad we don't have a drought here very often. We are busy with firewood, spreading manure and getting a new garden spot ready for planting. We've got 5 goat kids, two calves and 20 meat birds in the barn. A dozen new laying hens are getting their feathers and getting bigger every day. Maybe we'll get a pig in a few weeks as well. It's not easy to grow our own food, but I'm sure it is worth it. For all those who want to try it themselves, now is the time to get to it. Don't forget where food comes from.
