Strep throat has hit our house. Claire and I are down and being treated. Caroline woke up this morning with a scratchy throat. Dang it.

What is happening on the farm this time of year.
Pics and a video of late August farm family life.
Sick day at home.

C1. “What if you crashed and got hurt?”

Some days just aren't a win. I took the day off today to hang out with the girls, as our babysitter had some things she needed to do today. The dog needed shots etc... and today was a good enough day for it. When I told the kids it was time to go and that... Continue Reading →
