New Life

Thankfully spring has sprung, and just in time.  I was feeling old after a back injury and a broken tooth.  This week, however, the chickens started laying full-force, the seeds from Southern Seed Exchange arrived and our cow Daisy showed off her brand new calf, Myrtle Ann! This is nature's way of saying, "Wake up! Make the most of each breath!" Even though I will only be able to work short shifts preparing and planting this spring I am still going to do it and try and make the farm that little bit more productive just as I strive to every season. I am blessed to have strong guys here to help with the heavy work. I'd love your help as well - if you have tips for "working smarter, not harder" in the agricultural arena, please share them in the comments.
