This week, we have ... http://www.stahlsfarmvacations.com/appiesnet/wordpress/?p=83 You will never believe the conversation going on at our house this morning. First you have to understand that we live in Rural Ohio, where in spite of the fact that it is 2010, we do not get cell phone coverage. We live within 60 miles of the ... http://www.stahlsfarmvacations.com/appiesnet/wordpress/?p=82 Home Away from Home advertised on the Superbowl and all heck is breaking loose. The secret is out, and people have been “flocking” to vacation rentals, ours included. Of course, at our place you can really see sheep, cows and horses. You can check us out at ... http://www.stahlsfarmvacations.com/appiesnet/wordpress/?p=81 We got hit pretty hard this year with snow. Right now there is still snow on the ground, and Frank started separating sheep yesterday for lambing. He’s got them all in little pens, about 4-6 per pen.

And you know, ... http://www.stahlsfarmvacations.com/appiesnet/wordpress/?p=76 Well, here it is another Thanksgiving - and I was thinking that this really is the time to give thanks for all that we have.

We had our first frost last week on Friday - hard frost. It killed a lot of the soy-beans that hadn’t quite dried out yet. I think they were mature, and ... http://www.stahlsfarmvacations.com/appiesnet/wordpress/?p=73 I went to this convention on Friday - for non-profit organizations, and how they can use technology to help manage their overall costs. It was put on by Groundwork Group. It was really interesting. I’m not a non-profit, but there was still quite a bit of information ... http://www.stahlsfarmvacations.com/appiesnet/wordpress/?p=72
