We have been questioning the force of Mother Nature this year with the wild fluctuations and dramatic scenes on television. The hurricanes, floods, drought... The canal that we and many others get our irrigation water from was washed out in April this year due to a mudslide.

There has been so much going on around here... where do I start? Our family was fortunate enough to purchase a parcel of property that seems like an ideal fit for us.

Oh what a month! I keep asking for more hours in the day, but worry that I would probably fill them up. We have started to calve, and so far they look pretty good and healthy.
