Welcome back! I've been enjoying your auto-schedule postings while you were away.

One thing that really worries me about our pending move is how much more difficult it is to "get away" for awhile. Did you have someone watching over the place?

Pictures! More pictures.

Don't worry --- you'll be swimming in pictures next week. I'm saving the good ones for our lunch time series.

Everett, we did get my brother to come in and check on the farm in the middle of the week, but we've been gone for four days with no one checking in before. Winter is harder, since you have to worry about chicken waterers freezing (until Mark makes ours freeze-proof, that is.) The biggest problem we have when we're gone is deer damage, and having work pile up --- definitely obstacles that can be overcome. Of course, the more livestock you have, the harder it is to leave!
