Today was a beautiful late summer day to work on projects.
Katelyn is learning how to maneuver the lawn tractor in this picture. She's moving the cornstalks to the front of the house so we can try selling some of them for fall decorations.
Marc and I helped Wayne build a new hay rack for the goats in the barn. We needed something a little easier to fill and accessible to all of the goats at the same time. This seems to fit the bill nicely. The milking stool has been moved and then we created a new 'worm bin' underneath the rabbit cages.
We've read that worms and rabbits are a good combination since the worms use the rabbits' waste and help reduce the odor from the rabbits. We benefit with castings for potting soil and worms to add to the garden, feed the chickens, or sell to fishermen. It'll be interesting to see how this new project works.
I sold some fiber this a.m. to a woman who moved to the area from Manhattan. The town librarian gave her my name when she learned that Maurine was interested in purchasing local fiber for felting projects. She placed an order for some additional fiber so I'll be processing that over the next few days. It's great selling some of the 'harvest' of the farm.
To close the post I'll include the latest picture Katelyn took of Captain. He's such a sweet little guy.
