Is there such a thing as a NOT busy season on the farm?

During the winter you get into a slower, more predictable pattern of just feeding and caring for any animals who come up lame. Spring/summer/fall get a little intense. It took me years (decades) to get my business schedule in sync with the farm schedule. It still is not perfect (like this year where we took on two large projects in the spring), but it is manageable.
I would not trade it for anything else.
Except more bacon. And cow bells.

My Ex-wife was Italian she grew up hearing english and Italian on a regular basis. At the time we were married I was learning German, and she came to the conclusion that no matter what was said in German, it was scary, and gave her the impression that she was about to be shot.

Came across this today and you know, I think she may have been right

The Irony here is that 3 of the words she used as an example, to justify her statement were; Pen, Sorry and Hospital

Hey, you know... That's sort of the point - to find a kind of life you wouldn't trade for anything else. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, but I don't think I could swing a full-time farm life. Good on you!

My 10 pound mini weiner scared of a salon full of dog groomers! And she looks even more innocent!
When she sleeps. Like right now.

They are my role models. Small and terrifying - exactly the way I want to be when I grow up.

There is a war hammer I saw at the Ren Fest in Huntersville two years in a row - it's from one of the real weapons sellers, not the costume stuff. It's sooooooo pretty! I really want one.

I was just looking at CNBC's best places to retire. Thier number 1 was....drum roll please.....Nebraska.
I have never been there, so maybe they know something I don'r know, but the picture they chose for Nebraska did not sell me on the prospect

I know just what you mean xue. I'd be perplexed too if I were walking outside and I saw a bunch of old folk watching me walk down the street.

Many years ago, @gpseymour and I drove from North Carolina to Wyoming to visit his dad. Driving across Nebraska at 2 am was one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had. It was like something out of "Twilight Zone".

There are certain states which should be required to have no speed limits.

Decided to make myself a "kids meal" yesterday. Made 4cheese mac and cheese with cavatappi noodles, and bacon sprinkled about. Made enough for quite a few days at work as well.
