As you can see, I've had much less time to devote to blogging these last couple months. If you've been reading for awhile, you may recall that we no longer have internet access at home so most of my internet use is at work. Earlier in the year, when we were working the night shift, many of my nights were just supervising which left a lot of time to sit at the computer. That was also a colossal waste of productivity. Now we're only running one shift and my computer time is much more limited but I'm also more productive. Anyway, my point is that I haven't abandoned this blog. I just need to manage my time better to post more often.
On the farm, the ewes are all bred (he says with crossed fingers). This is downtime for us where we just do the daily chores and spend lots of time reading and cooking and planning. Jennifer has been making killer chicken broth from our stewing hens.
We've set a goal to add two Dexter cows or heifers to our farm this summer. After lots of consideration, we kept coming back to them. Since we have a wonderful local source for fresh, unprocessed milk, beef is our primary focus.
We also have goals to do some home improvement - specifically replacing the concrete porch with a new wood porch and adding a roof over it. Then we hope to replace the siding, soffit and gutters and remove three exterior doors that are no longer in use.
It was 67 degrees at our house yesterday afternoon.
Be well.
