When you live in Florida, you must get used to the total indifference of the weather to personal comfort…

Today was our first heavy-duty thunderstorm for the 2019 season. All those “bent pines” we had been discussing earlier…well, four of them came down and took out the fence around the hogs’ happy home.

Not to be deterred, we set about immediately to order the mess. And in no time flat the downed wood was cleaned up.

There are lots and lots of bent pines on the farm. We know that as they fall, they give back to the soil what the soil has given to them. The good news is that the spot we had planned for a new hay barn is now cleared and ready to start construction…a good sign. Hallelujah!!

Happy Homesteading,
