Farm Happenings...enough with the rain!
We have lived in Adna, Washington for 12 years now and Washington State for much longer, so you would think we would be used to the fall deluge. (#pineappleexpress) We love the fall and the smell of damp leaves and grass (one of us is from Scotland for goodness sake). But each year and especially this year it just seems like the rain will never stop. Luckily the chicks are tucked away in the barn pen, the garden is harvested, all the tools are put away, firewood is cut and stacked (mostly) and the trenches are ready to divert all the rainwater from the emu pens (mostly). We are ready to watch the coming of winter, and all that rain, from our cozy spot in front of the fireplace. At least for a bit… then it is on to incubating eggs and preparing products for next year, and repairing the tractor that gave up the ghost this summer… it’s always something.
