Summer Starting to End on the Farm

Image
It has been good spending time on the farm. I really had forgotten how quiet and dark it is here. It can actually be a bit unnerving. The leaf doodle bug was put to work in the forest. However, it looks like the car will be going back on the road. We can say it failed field trials,but that would only be partially true. The better utility value at this point is more suited to getting a teenager back and forth from high school. The mycological aspects of the farm did not disappoint. The pics of these shrooms are not photoshopped. The coal stove (very heavy) is loaded on the truck. It will be rebuilt in Georgia if I can save it. Coal stoves are increasingly out of production. When they are gone they are gone. The small wood stove is now in its place. The pic of the red sky in morning was indeed a warning of weather. We had strong storms and tornados in Upstate NY. Although I was travelling much that day in the area, I missed the worst of it.

It is Easter (again)! In our house we celebrated Chinese New Year earlier this year as well as the Western AND Orthodox Easter. I have been busy with neighborhood association duties and trying to get ahead of the house work. I have decided to plant corn on the farm in NY this year. It is a different path than I have previously taken with the farm in NY. I really like the property. It is a shame NY government is toxic to conservatives and "upstaters". We went and saw the Blue Man Group last night. I have always been a fan, but had never saw a show. It was fun. I (we) have quite a bit of travel lined up over the next month. In the plans, I counted 6 counties and 3 US states.
