Winter is here full-force, and even though we have a lot to do, the wind especially makes it hard to spend time out there. We’ve been getting strong gusts from the west and the north, with the occasional break when we get wind from the south. I’ve been sort of missing Florida, and making plans to buy a winter property down there. But for this winter, we’re stuck in the cold.
We have a new crop of chicks both in the brooder and the incubator. 7 days from now we will hopefully have some new faces!
We (finally) started on permanent stalls for the horses. They’re sorely needed, as is a rain gutter. That’s the next project!
