So latter today we are heading down to Jeff’s parent’s house for Christmas (for more info on my opinion of Christmas check out my blog post on my other website)… which is about eight hours away. I am probably going to have an ulcer by Sunday, this is the first time we have left for any extended period of time sense getting all of the farm animals and I am a nervous mess. Luckily my father is taking care of all the bigger animals behind his house and we have a friend stopping over to take care of the chickens. I don’t foresee anything going wrong, but still I worry!
Well, we will be back on Sunday and then we have to start working on our site plan for the Town Planning Meeting. We received an email this past week saying we had to either submit something to the planning board or face a fine, so yah. We explained to the Town that Jeff is being laid off and that we were holding off until we knew if we were going to have to move or not; luckily Jeff has found another job locally so we won’t have to move. We are scrapping the barn plans though, and will just be putting up movable shelters instead. We figure with the movable sheds we can rotate grazing so one pasture doesn’t get over grazed. We have to have everything together before January 18th (might have the wrong date) for the February planning meeting. I am actually looking forward to butting heads with the local anti-farmers again J I have given up on being frustrated and now just find amusement in their useless attempts to get us to remove our animals.
