And The Wind Doth Blow

Wow - big wind here in our part of Minnesota today - enough!

Our ancient manure spreader has finally had it.  This weekend, Kevin borrowed a nice one from farmer friends Scott and Allison and put it to good use.  Rollie assisted with Bob - loading from the big pile of composted soiled bedding and Kevin spread it on the front field. 


Hoover and I have been enjoying walking in the woods.  He gets pretty exciting about all the things he is smelling while I enjoy the tiny wildflowers.  Spring is such a gift!



I looked this one up - it's a Sessile-leaf Bellwort. 

I also enjoy watching the ferns develop.

A little shake up in the goat world.  Kevin move Hickory to a pasture shelter and paddock just a little ways out from the barn.  He was Very Unhappy about this move and demonstrated his displeasure by complaining loudly if any human was in view, and breaking out a couple of times.  After a week or so of that, we moved Tamarack in with him.  There was a bit of drama for an hour or two but now they are buds and Hickory is much quieter!

And that is all I have to share for this post.  We are pretty busy this week - more so than usual - getting ready for the first farmer's market of the season.  It will be different for sure with mask wearing and distancing, but hopefully it will go well.  Locals, maybe we will see you next Saturday!

Until next time, be well friends.
