OK, I've turned over a new leaf and have recommitted myself to keep this farm blog up to date!
A most marvelous, wonderful, much anticipated and longed for thing has happened since I last posted on this blog. Monte, (Loverboy to me), my much adored husband has retired from his contracting business and has "come home to the farm"! I could never, ever have supposed that this farm would someday develop to the point that it would literally provide a viable income for us. It really helped push us in this direction when the construction industry crashed.
Although Monte's business was able to hold its own, it gave us pause to dream of working the farm together and now it has become the most wonderful reality! It is not all bliss and merriment as the work is hard and the hours are long, but we are enjoying every minute together and the farm is so much better for it. Monte has longed to have time to work on building and improving the farm. Little by little it is improving every day. One of the new improvements is that while he can work the farm with the help of our interns, I can spend the time needed to keep track of all the details such as time to return emails, write newsletters, keep the books and make new posts on this blog!
