Lots of farms are gone now, it's a real shame. Many of us are trying to hang on, but it gets tougher each year.
I haven't been around much, just a few 'fly bys' lol to read here and a few other boards quickly.
The fields are planted,finally, and the garden is growing great! Tried a few new vegetables this year, things I haven't planted in a long time. Some parsnips (love them), lots of carrots that are doing really well, celery that amazingly overwintered here and is growing like crazy too.
At the end of last year, I had brussel sprouts and collard greens that were still growing, so I left them alone. This spring they flowered like wild and very soon I'll be cutting the tops off to dry the seed heads. I have enough to supply great numbers of people with seeds! Glad I left them in.
All this and having fun running the normal business too. Sigh.
The house in KY is coming along great, lots of traveling.
Sent a number of fattened calves off to market.
Plus an abundance of kittens this year. The ferals come into the barns to have them and then I scoop them up and humanize them before they become feral too. I'm at 15 kittens and counting now. Thankfully, most are eating food and only a couple need to be bottle fed. Anyone looking for a great kitten?
I did have a beautiful foal born 6 weeks ago, a truly lovely baby. I'll try to post some pictures of her for you.
So, all in all, a fairly typical spring in the asylum!! LOL
Hope your surgery went well and life is treating you great.
