The Terrible Twosome and Bessie got excited when Ron pulled up. He usually brings them fresh hay. Bessie waited so patiently. See how sweet she's being?

I DID IT!!!
This farming thing just got real, folks. I signed today on 10 acres and a big building (electric! cement floor!) that I'm going to turn into a barn and raw milk herdshare operation.
