Farm Happenings

It's been a while since I posted last. Since that time I have kept myself busy working on the comp exam needed to finish my master's degree and working in the garden. I recently learned that I passed the exam, so I am officially finished with the degree!

We have also learned that there will be a new addition to Liberty Belle Acres. Currently I am 11 weeks pregnant with our first child. My first doctor's appointment was early this week, and everything is going great!  So I have also been busy trying to get the baby's room finished. Lots of steaming is taking place to get the 4-5 layers of wallpaper removed from the walls.

Not much excitement has occured on the farm with the cows. They are happily enjoying the sunshine that the summer has brought. Later this month, some cows will be making their exit from our farm, with new ones making an entrance. Our garden has been producing quite well this year. One day we picked 39 cucumbers. We are also enjoying lots of green beans! The onions, cantelope, and potatoes should be ready anytime now. The deer have been helping themselves to my sweet corn, but hopefully they stay away from the popcorn and ornamental corn. The pumpkins and gourds are doing very well. One of the many reasons I'm looking forward to fall this year!
