Shorter Days Ahead, Barbecue Special!

On Our Farm

This morning a mist of fog covers the land. The birds are singing joyfully, as they do after the passing of a storm. I am reminded of  how special these foggy mornings have seemed to me, ever since moving here 28 years ago from the mountainous deserts of the west. Fog seems so mysterious and special. These are the mornings I like to encourage Jim by telling him "Look, we own the land as far as you can see."

We did have a major storm last night. As the house vibrations lessened after thunder that came simultaneously with lightning, we realized we were in the middle of the storm. As you know, we move the chicken hoop houses daily, and one house was now in a lower elevation. Checking after the storm, we discovered almost 80 chickens that did not survive. This is part of farming.
