These past few weeks at the farm have been long and tiresome. Jon and I are working towards a number of goals for this year, but as a result we are required to put in lots of extra hours in at the farm. Some days we get so wrapped up in the work that we start to forget what it is that we are working for,....much like our battle with the "w-word". We get so busy working with the "s-word" that we forget that we are working towards spring! Nothing like looking through some pictures from last spring to remind us of that. So as we continue to work towards our goals for our cows and ourselves...as well as battling the eliments...we are reminded: there's a light at the end of the tunnel!
I'm with you! We're so ready for spring here in Northeast Ohio also. The sun was shinning most of yesterday which was a welcome change. Spring always provides a fresh new outlook on the year ahead. Hope it's a good one for the dairy industry!
ReplyDeleteWe share your feelings. This winter has been unbelievably exhausting. Back in December I changed the wallpaper on my cellphone to a picture of a cow and her newborn calf out in the pasture; the little bit of green grass and blue sky remind me that this is Minnesota, not Siberia.
ReplyDeleteSadie: I love it! Definitely not Siberia for the forecast next wk!
