September....

I am not sure how we got here.  The temperatures are cooling off and we are constantly reminded that winter is just around the corner.  

My brain is still saying it is summer...and there is so much left to do before I will admit that fall is here.  ​

Last year's calf is gearing up for the final show of her career....
Picture
And this year's calf is just learning the ropes. 
Picture
The schohol year is in full swing.  We are getting into a routine, but it is still hard to remember that there is homework to do.  At the end of the day, our minds are still on hay...not Biology and Math.
Picture
A quick walk around the farm reveals the weeds that have been left too long...

There just isn't enough time.
Picture
The asparagus...that seems we were just harvesting...is now preparing for next year.  
Picture
The bees are frantically preparing for winter....

And we are reminded that we haven't yet harvested the honey.

Maybe we will wait 'til next year...
Picture
How is it that such a nasty weed can have such a beautiful flower?
Picture
The days are still warm and we have a little more time before we have to bring in the hoses for winter.  
Picture
Evidence that Nash has been out to the barn.  He is getting better at listening and learning the ropes as a farm dog.  
Picture
When the cows are out to pasture, the stalls don't need to be cleaned.

Before long, this wheelbarrow with be a daily part of chores.  
Picture
It's about time to change out the mineral for the fall formula.  
Picture
The calves are growing...

Most aren't ready to be weaned yet, but a few more weeks and things will be getting a little noisy around here.

    Hello!  I am Heather... the city girl turned mom to manure loving country boys. My husband and I both grew up in the city, but spent weekends visiting grandparents in the country.  We are first generation farmers who learn best by almost always doing things the hard way.  I hope you enjoy following along with our adventures down on the farm.
