Christmas has come and gone and with the closing of December we have seen record rain.While temperatures have been moderate the amount of rainfall has been extraordinary.
Winter is coming on quick and the farm/garden is getting ready for the cold weather.The Japanese Maples have gone from green to yellow and then red in a matter of three days.Not much for the fall season.
A lot has happened in the past few weeks.Money (our 32 year old horse) has been pining after his pasture mate passed on.We purchased the Scottish Highland cows thinking they would serve as pasture mates, but that experiment did not pan out as we could not put them in the same pasture, so they are over the fence companions.....
May showers bring spring flowers.This adage is a little off this year as April was wet and then dried out.The grass is green, the horse and cows are munching on nice pasture and I am spending a lot of time on the mower.
