Welcome September!!!!

With the start of a new month comes many new things on our farm! Believe it or not, we're still calving!!! We calve just about all year round. Many farms try to have all of their calves in a shorter (8-10 week) time frame. We have never got around to doing that. Ha! So, calving year round seems to work for us! We had two calves in one week recently. One was born on our oldest sons 11th birthday! So, of course, we let him name the baby heifer calf. 

We purchased all of the strawberry plants & most of the raspberry bushes at a local nursery this past weekend! We got them in the hard, dry ground last Saturday & have been hauling LOTS of water to them daily. We already have raspberries and strawberries producing! We are SO excited to be able to add those to our farm for ourselves & our customers!!!

As I said before, our oldest son turned 11 years old recently! Wow! I can't believe how fast time flies! He should still be a toddler! He is an amazing,,tender hearted, kind, caring young man. He has a sense of humor like his dad! He is a bit shy, until you get to know him! He is an amazing young man & I'm so proud of him! I'm so thankful that god chose me to be his mom! 

With the unofficial end of Summer coming up this weekend, we have been doing lots of things on the farm. We have closed our pool. :-( We are cleaning things up and preparing for the inevitable....Winter! Yuck!

Well, time to get back to the stove & finish fixing supper for my family!
