Catch up picture post.

Here are some of the things we have done since I last wrote in this blog. From most recent to least recent they are...

We went to Kona this spring and got a chance to see coffee grow. 

 Jess is still amazing. 

 We continue to have our fall festivals every year and raise money for the food shelf. 

 I went hunting for elk in Wyoming

 The views were amazing

 It was a great trip. 

 I backed out of this spot 15 seconds before that branch came down right where I was. 

 Our rhubarb is kind of overwhelming now

  I am getting a little better at catching smelt. 

We are raising geese as our only waterfowl now.

 Jess looking suitably aloof for springtime in NY. 

 We took a trip to New Yor.

 We cured and smoked some bacon on the farm. 

 The last few winters have been way too cold. 

 I tried to tan a deer hide. with mixed results.

 I got to meet Hank Shaw in person. 

 We have harvested and eaten shaggy manes.

 We added a poly tunnel for season extension. I still haven't got it quite figured out yet but I am getting better with controlling it. 

 We continue to harvest our hops and brew beer with them. 

 We were adopted by a barn cat named Florence. 

 We fenced off a large part of the yard as a field for annimals

 We attended the seed savers annual convention

 We attended a number of great lectures there.
