    How’s everyone doing? I hvent been around much recently but will mke an effort to spend more time here. We have been running really hard at work, and moved to a mini farm this summer as well so there has been a lot to do and still seems like I have a mountain of work here. But we’re enjoying it. One of the many current projects is moving the firewood into the wood shed. It had been stacked at the old house but has just been piled here until now. So the last week I’ve just grabbed a few loads at a time with the ATV. Also have a bunch of bins that should have been ready for this year but I tried drying without a tip cover and ended up not liking the results. Leaves got stuck in there and held moisture in the wood. So I’ll move those as well and wait to burn until next year.

    Good to hear from you, We all know how much work a farm entails. a lot of us that "tip" :picard: cover, do it for just that reason. To keep the wet leaves out. Look forward to hearing more from you!

    yes indeed x2! Chickens really add a lot to a farm and those fresh eggs are fantastic. My wife won't agree to me having them again. Two of my kids have them and enjoy them a lot.

    Glad to hear you are doing all right. Farms, even small ones, are a lot of work but very rewarding. I hope you get the wood under cover before the snow hits.

    They help with livestock too. They eat a lot of bugs and help avoid ringworm
