uuu wee, it’s hot and lovely. Alright, farm update in 100 words:
The farm’s green. The cows are doing their best to keep the pastures mowed. The big chickens are hitting their egg-laying stride, the adolescent birds are growing like weeds, and baby chicks hatched this morning (Adorable!). The sheep and goats are tagging along with [...]
