Saturday was delivery day for our new gator. Up to this point, we have shared a gator with Mike and Becky. However, now that we will be on the farm full-time, we have need for a second gator. We have found this to be the essential farm work horse. It is the perfect piece of equipment for any job, with its' handy dump bed. Before an hour was up, I had loaded it full of manure and put it to work.
Here is Kelley and Jack. Kelley is Jack's secretary. It did not take her long to become a real farm girl.....feeding goats, cleaning chicken houses, mucking pastures.....
The help was greatly appreciated.

Ok, enough is enough! We have had a total of 3 foot of snow so far this month.... and we are not even half way through February. Although it is beautiful to look at, it does make farm life a bit more challenging. Yesterday was a crazy day! I went out...

"One misty, moisty morning, when cloudy was the weather....." I was reminded of this nursery rhyme this morning when I went out to do the chores. A thick blanket of fog had settled over the farm since last night's torrential rain storm. Fog like this...

New Wheels and Farm Help
Saturday was delivery day for our new gator. Up to this point, we have shared a gator with Mike and Becky. However, now that we will be on the farm full-time, we have need for a second gator. We have found this to be the essential farm work horse. It is the perfect piece of equipment for any job, with its' handy dump bed. Before an hour was up, I had loaded it full of manure and put it to work.Yes, it came complete with a pink John Deere hat!
Addendum: A special thanks to our friend Kelley for volunteering for farm duty on Sunday morning. Kelley and her hubby Donny showed up right after dawn to "dig in" to morning chores.
The help was greatly appreciated.
