    For me this is the best time of year , it has its up and downs , the stress of calving / lambing is nearly over, , then the weather begins to change, there's new life , new energy, the land begins to dry, its a great day ,when all animals are fed and healthy and the sun is shining... damn near to contentment as you can get.

    Dad, loved the GREEN ACRES reference. That was funny. I loved that show when I was growing up on a Kansas Farm. That’s when I learned how ‘not bright’ city folk were. Then 30 years later I moved to NYC. It’s true. They don’t know a thing about farm living or how to fix anything even around an apt.
