Sorry for the lack of posts.


Everything has been going good here on the farm. Sorry for the lack of posts. Since out last post there has been camping, fairs, first days of school, VBS at both Baptist and Anglican churches, play dates, swimming lessons and it goes on and on. Anyone who has children knows that there is always something going on.

We had a small problem with the well pump yesterday but that was fixed prompty. The headgasket blew on our Massey Ferguson but is now repaired.

We have had a lot of problems with the deer this year. But that is okay. This is just our second year and we are learning. We are already thinking of prevention methods next year. We are given these problems to learn from. There will always be issues every year and we just need to take them as they come.

The CSA boxes (bags) are going great. We are gradually becoming more efficient at the packing and harvesting. Sometimes there are issues but everyone has been very understanding and helpful.
Brucshetta (?) pizza. Pizza dough with Italian salad dressing spread all over the dough. Then I put peppers basil and tomatoes grated mozza and parmesan cheese. Bake at 400F for approx 15 minutes.

I will post again later. The girls have to get up for school.
