Farm Life: Too Busy with Retiring

Farm Life: Stimulus
During the past year, we have received various forms of economic stimulus funds. Some of these came in the form of federal bank deposits, and for those of us who work in health care, our paychecks were heftier as we … Continue reading
Farm Life: Spring is in the Air, and Winter 2020-21 Fog in August Wrap-Up
Spring, a time of renewal, beginnings, blooms, thawing out. In our part of the Appalachian Mountains, Spring arrived quickly, with 20F’s giving way to 70F’s in a few days. Now frost and sun dance, with days gaining in length. Time … Continue reading
Fog in August: Winter 2020-21 Forecast
I’m a bit late in posting my annual Fog in August report, on November 1st. But, this past week, we had temperatures in the 70’s, even up to 82F. Our part of the Appalachian Mountains should be in the 40’s, … Continue reading
