since our last post, we have had all sorts of activity here on the farm. the school people have been busy cleaning and fitting out the front end of the barn. Tim has been helping keep up with the lawn mowing, with the weed eater, since the lawn mower has a broken solenoid. he has also doen a bit more on the chicken fence and spread some gravel. lorinda has been harvesting and cooking a lot. richard built a new goat fence and put the goats in there for a while, and then decided the time was right and took the goats over to Ray and Loki's where their big la mancha/boer cross buck will do the business... we've been putting in the sesbania's, gliricidia's and jacaranda's around the new swale and goat paddock...
this afternoon I went over my daily limit of two tankfuls on the weedeater in an effort to claim the ground in takako's orchard that didn't get converted to pidgeon pea cover. we have maybe just enough mulch, peanut, sweet potato and more legume trees to get that whole patch sometime soon... maybe this week before Tim leaves us???
Brooke has been here tonight getting the loft ready ads a temporary place for her and Susan to stay. So, we're actually getting pretty busy around here.
