Ike!

Ike huffed and he puffed and he blew our hoophouse down!

Wet...finally

Two days of rain here with more likely. We're supposed to get the remnants of Ike on Monday.

This is the time of year when near panic sets in over all the things I should've gotten done over the summer and with the rain not much is getting done here this weekend. I can't complain though because we're coming out of our usual summer drought and really needed the rain.

I'm having trouble finding hay for the winter. My usual (and closest) source may not have any this year and another source tells me it will come down to his third cutting this month. I really don't want to have to buy it at auction but it may come to that.

Mobile blogging

This is my first blog post from my new smartphone. Hopefully this method of blogging will result in more activity here on the Liberty Farm blog. Now, if I'm in the barn or pasture and have something to blog about, I can just whip out my phone and blog!

Look for frequent short posts (if I can get the hang of this tiny keyboard).

I have a few happenings this summer to write more about later.
