I was just walking around the yard this morning, thinking about our summer and how slow the birds have grown this year. It rained alot, and that's putting it mildly. Now we've broken out into a crisp dry fall, but it was a long time coming.
Then I came inside to do my computer work and compile orders and browse a few blogs... and I saw that the folks down in Washington have had similar challenges this year. Bruce King at Ebey Farm had just posted this morning on the same note.
So, as I went on in my reading...I was really psyched to see that Jessica at Olde Sow Farm and Creamery has figured out how to have a cheesemaking dairy and have a baby. That's something that I'm aspiring to do, but I haven't figured out how to do both!
Yay for inspiration. It's good to know that there are other farmers with the same obstacles who are finding their way through the maze. The internet is a pretty cool thing... otherwise I'd just be up here on the mountain, unlinked. Life is good.
