The winter drug on and on and on and now all of a sudden the leaves are coming on the trees and the grass is FINALLY starting to grow. We have the manure hauled (well most of it), pastures fertilized and we are shoulder deep in getting cows bred.
Our W2 jobs keep us all plenty busy but add a couple kids, too many cows, a chronic short in the fence and a woods clearing project gone wrong to the mix and you're looking at an exponential increase in the stress level. And oh yeah, we're hosting a stop on the summer Hereford tour so that has added a few extra projects to the to-do list. My dad has an expression for this over abundance of work but it wouldn't be appropriate. Not here. Not now.

Fortunately, we were presented with the opportunity to have an intern this summer and the timing couldn't be more perfect. Intern sounds so formal but it is just a little nicer way to say summer help. Plus, when you have gotten a little ahead of yourself on commitments, it's good to call in reinforcements.
We'll no sense in getting too chatty . . . there is work to be done after all. I figure if I can get one little project done every day, I'll be doing pretty good. Tonight, I got flowers planted and the kids fed. Some days, you can't expect much more than that!
Head over and take a look at our Facebook page for some pictures from the winter and early spring. We appreciate you stopping by and we hope you'll join us later in the summer on the tour. In so many ways, the excitement is just beginning!
