That time of year again!
Half way through September as this blog entry is made. The geese have been active this past week with fly overs and some stopping in the harvested grain fields to see what morsels have been left behind and to rest their wings before setting off again.
School has begun in most areas now - different for sure from other years - our hopes are for a safe experience for all.
Here at the farm the two new additions are settling in - CeeCee and DeeDee, the little piglets we will raise throughout the winter months. Will add a photo next time.
As we go about farm chores this month our minds are always on the coming Fall & Winter and we add an hour or day here and there of a chore that gets things ready for that. Windows that are removed from barn to allow summer breezes to flow will be put back in. The outdoor grain boiler will soon be filled with grain corn to heat the house and workshop. Grain crops and hay are all accounted for - making sure there is enough to feed livestock through the winter months, as well as shavings and straw for bedding.
My 6 chickens arrived in August and have adjusted to life on the farm very well. They love their new coop and will have outdoor access next Spring. We enjoy their lovely offerings of fresh eggs for breakfast.
