Rain, rain go away..but only for a little while :)


Hello again!
Well the cold I had last week was actually bronchitis. So after a course of antibiotics, I am ready to go again. (Thank You God for antibiotics!) However, we are getting rain today, and tomorrow, and Wednesday and maybe snow Wednesday night and Thursday--so I get to catch up on paperwork, housecleaning and other sundry inside duties. I am fitting in little outside chores between rains, so am not completely shut-in.
As I wrote earlier, we have bottle calves, three of them, and boy are they cute! I did the ultimate rancher/farmer no-no. I named them. They are Phil , Teensy
(see photo), and Baby Girl (lying down). Phil is the largest, Baby Girl is the shyest, and Teensy is a preemie that has had a bit of a hard time lately. If it would warm up and the wind stop blowing, I am sure he would feel much better.
We had a hard frost late last week and lost one row of our peas, but the other 2 rows were a different variety and tolerated the weather better. Hopefully, this week will be the last of the colder weather, but considering I have seen snow on the 6th of June, one never knows!
We are still taking orders for CSA packages and broiler/fryer chickens so if you are interested, let us know.
Here's hoping you have a great week!
Donna
