Rainy Days and Sunshine

It rained again this morning, for the “bazillionth” time.  Okay, maybe that isn’t a word but once again, Allie and I sloshed our way through not-so-tiny rivers that are running all over the farm.  But in the past few days, there has been a difference.  Today the clouds unfurled, revealing blue skies and sunshine.  And here I sit in short sleeves and sandals, anticipating temperatures that promise to be comfortable.  Our cold spring is waving good bye and a warmer, friendlier summer is smiling at us.

I do not believe I am the only one rejoicing.   Last night, the goats eagerly scampered up and down our hill, gobbling up the tall, sweet-tasting grass.  The hogs are creating new mud baths and are now more commonly found outside of the barn than in.  The sheep are more easily ushered out the door to spend the afternoon in the pasture, and the meat chicks are peeping their pleas to be allowed outside–very soon, guys, but first let’s see a few more waterproof feathers.

Almost ready for the great outdoors

Lois learns about the sweet taste of spring grass.

I share all of this for fun and to remind you that as swiftly as summer approaches, it will be gone.  So before you pack that beach bag and camping gear, heed this gentle reminder:

Don’t forget to order your meat chickens.

We still have plenty but they will sell out quickly.  Whether for barbecuing this summer or soothing soup next winter, make sure your freezer is filled with the best free-range, gmo-free chicken you’ll ever taste.

And for a fun summer spot to bring your children, why not plan a visit to Love Led Farm?  Contact us, and we will be happy to arrange a friendly tour.

Enjoy the season, friends, and let us answer any questions you have about our farm and products.

Warmly,
