This is a continuing story of two people, four dogs, three barn cats, 8 pet turkeys, 6 guinea fowl, 20 ducks, 125 chickens, 1 rabbit, 5 alpacas, 4 sheep, a Llama, A Sicilian Micro-mini donkey, a Sicilian mini donkey and her baby and their life long dream to run a little 9 acre farm in upstate New York. After you read the blog entries, go to our regular farm web site, and then to our wonderful farm and fiber Shop that we built and opened in 2011. The links are on the left.
Thursday, October 15
Thurs. Oct 15th... Yep...Here We Are...Mid-way Thru October Again... Varooooom...
It's Zzzzzing.... and off we go again. Before you know it we'll be sitting at the dinner table with our families, eating turkey, filling, mashed potatoes with gravy and sniffing that pumpkin pie. After dinner...sit in the ol' overstuffed chair and take a little nap and when you wake up a little later, you'll have the entire family there opening Christmas gifts and before you can go to the kitchen for a little cup of coffee and return to the living room, everyone will have funny hats on and be shaking or spinning noise makers as they watch the ball drop for New Year. It's that fast folks!! That is, unless you're in the bracket of six to eighteen years old. In that bracket, the world turns at an amazingly slow pace. Summers are a year long...school is forever and a fun day lasts and lasts and lasts! At eighteen the old world and time seems to begin rolling around faster and faster and picks up speed every year after that. Sometimes, I believe you don't really die... and time spins by so fast that we're thrown out of our old, slow bodies and into another dimension. We're drawn so fast that our old bodies can't keep up to us and we loose them. Once the spirit leaves that old body, it just falls down and doesn't work anymore.... Hence, everyone thinks you've died! So much for that crap... anyway...if you're eighteen, LOOK OUT...you're about to start speeding out of control.
We took a few pictures of the gift shop when we finished yesterday. I'll post them at the bottom and after today's foray.... we post updates so you can see our progress. We hope to make a big impact on the building today. It would please us greatly to start with some board and batten today on the road side, then the opposite, which would close in the gable ends, then start the back, and then the front. After that we can install doors and windows. The purlin's for the roof are ordered and should be done before Saturday. The metal roofing still needs to be ordered later.
For the many inquiries I have received about personally signing my book "Poetry From The Heart".
Again.... for all to see here: I will gladly sign each and every book I sell. As I fill your order, I will look at the special instructions section for a designated name other than the purchaser...and if there is none there, I will address it to the purchaser. If you are buying it as a gift, please make a note of the name you want me to write to, when I personally sign the book. There is a space for "special instructions", on the order form from Pay-Pal.
