I Beg Your Pardon, Really

This is what I’ve been dealing with. Believe it or not, this is only one half of one vehicle. My mom and I took two to empty my apartment. Sadly, I will need at least one more trip, but most likely two! Whew, it’s going to be a busy week. I promise I am not neglecting, I am just busy unpacking!

Year One and Many More to Go

When I got started in Social Media I was very overwhelmed. Luckily, I happened to find a group of wonderful farmers that helped me find my way. They helped me find my voice in this huge world of the internet. Today, the AgChat Foundation is celebrating their first birthday! Believe me, they’ve done more in a year than most groups can say for the first 10 years.

New Journeys are Here

Well, a new journey is here that you all will be hearing about in the weeks to come. Although I’m scared and nervous, sometimes we all need a push to try something new and to get moving. I will keep you posted on what my new plans are and what I’m doing. Have a great weekend!

No New from the Calving Pen

Well, I’m sad to report that there is no news from the calving pen. I did not get a new birthday baby from Bambi. Honestly, she’s just having a great time lounging in the straw pack! My dad thought for sure she was going to calve on Friday so we are very surprised when she still hasn’t had her baby. But this goes to show that on farms we are dealing with biology and nature. Which means we never know what we’re going to get!

Today is the Day!!!!

Today is the day! No, I don’t mean my birthday, I don’t have much care for that. The thing I am excited about is that it’s Bambi’s due date! I will keep you updated on how she’s doing and whether she’s in labor.
