Okay, how's this?

First off, we're Christian agrarians, so church-y posts work for me. The tense banter in the comments on the previous post have been deleted to maintain the positive, encouraging bent of this blog.

But to get on with it and to please a miniscule portion of a miniscule readership, here goes on some agrarian stuff:

We mulched today. I generally consider that to be more suburban than agrarian, but the main reason we did it was for the asparagus, which qualifies it for agrarian.

Keith went in to work early so he could get home in time to do some fencing, with help from whomever was able to give it. We were just finishing up mulching when he arrived, so we got all the shovels, forks, etc., put away, then some of us headed out to help him. I stayed in long enough to move forward on laundry detail--hang out a third load and start a fourth in the washer--and to get 4yo down for a nap. My mother stayed inside to get some things done and to have supper ready by the time darkness fell--and oh, it smells good! And with six of us outside, we got a good bit of fencing done.

I forgetfully wore my good tennis shoes to the pasture--not very agrarian. But they now have cow poop on them--very agrarian.

Oh, and I keep thinking in alfalfa (inside joke).

Is that a little better?

You sure do have a beautiful farm! Wish we could do our work in short sleeves; we are into long underwear and winter jackets!
