Dear friends,
Thank you for your patience for the late newsletter. Needless to say, the rain, renovations and typical Spring explosion of growth are wreaking havoc on our ability to catch up on the farm. Not even early mornings and lengthy to do lists are helping us (me) keep up ...
Fortunately, slowly but surely we are making progress. Harry and great friends were home for a week and Lauren is arriving soon for a few days, providing timely help and expertise.
First and foremost, the most fun update involves the new peeps and keets (young guinea fowl). They are all doing wonderful and growing rapidly. I now understand at least one major difference between the two ... keets can really FLY! While chicken peeps sadly flap their wings and hop into the air thinking they are flying, the keets truly take off and catch air. Closing the door at entry is now even more important as it is abundantly clear the keets look forward to escaping. LMK if you want to visit and see what Cyndi fondly describes as our little gremlins.
Next major update! We moved the egg and pepper sales to the tractor barn next door. Due to some renovations in the garage, we thought it best to move the frig to a safer spot. Please drive into 15-007 County Line drive (Terra Bella, next door) and look for the tractor barn on your right. The horses will be on your left. There is a yellow egg for sale sign and American flag hanging and ... "I left the light on for you" to show the way. Oh, and lest I not forget, the chickens are now laying a lot of eggs!! Please buy some
This week we delivered more firewood. Please let us know if you would like a delivery. I am excited to sell more to free room for next year's splitting and sales
Otherwise, the sheep are doing well (but very dirty), lambs are growing quickly, the duck is happy and visited every day by the geese and the cats will soon be missing their beloved, heated garage
Fun Fact: This Saturday and Sunday Jason Mraz is performing with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra at Severance Hall. The shows sold out months ago, will be his first ever performance with an orchestra and are going to be amazing!! I have a couple extra tickets available if interested. In addition to being a great singer-songwriter, Jason also owns his own farm selling avocados and fancy chocolate!
Have a wonderful week ! It is sure to be an exciting, busy one !!
Harry
