WOW - 2 days in a row, I am on a roll. We are about 2 weeks into self distancing in the Covid 19 pandemic. So far none of our loved ones have contracted it. Life must roll along on a farm and it does. Presently we are involved in pasture management. This is tricky for us because we have limited turnout pastures, and a whole bunch of alpacas that want to enjoy them. Spring can be so tricky. The new grass that emerges is delicate. It is so tempting to let the animals out to enjoy it, but you can’t do that. The grass should be at least 3” deep before we want to let them at it. If we want healthy grass for the entire summer I need to be patient now. Isn’t it interesting that to get the most out of almost anything there is a right way to do things. There are very few shortcuts. But how can you say no to the darling faces that are pleading to be turned out. ☺️Stay safe.
