Apple Harvest & Our Creamery Tour Date Set

Monday, September 21, 2020
Hello friends,
              Wow!  What a beautiful stretch of nice weather!  This is the time to go outside and enjoy!  Sure, there are still bugs, but the sunshine is waning and you should go out and catch some rays before it turns to winter.  You KNOW how it goes.  Bill and I went down to Ft. Scott on Sunday to walk around the park.  Yes, we can walk around the driveway, but it’s nice to get away for the day.  When we got home, we took that famous Sunday afternoon nap, then went out and picked about 5 boxes full of apples before chores.  I suppose we need to learn how relax, but it was an enjoyable day.
              The baby chicks are over a week old now and starting to get feathers on their wings.  They are not too sure about us, and they all crowd to the end of the stock tank where we can’t reach them.  Well, we can reach them, but I need a little scoop to nudge them out.  I can’t help but grab one and pick it up and pet it.  Not sure they are responding to my affection or just a reflex to close their eyes.  Doesn’t matter.  Soon I will begin picking a little clover for them to peck at.
              We are thinking ahead for the Creamery my Tour day on October 17th.  It just so happens that it’s the same weekend as the Miami County farm tours.  That’s not necessarily a conflict.  I recommend starting down here, and work your way back north.  We will have samples of cheeses and milk, and plenty on hand to take with you so bring your cooler.  If you want to see the cheese cave, you’ll need to take your shoes off and wear protective covers, but it is interesting.  The cows will be nearby, and so will whatever calves have been born by then.  We have three cows due in October, so we’ll see how it works out.  Gather your questions and come on down!….
