Summer Is Upon Us
I guess Summer has arrived - you know that old saying “Time Flies When You’re Having Fun”? Well, I’m thinking that it should be more like “Time Flies when You’re Busy”. I’m wondering where the spring went to - while it’s still beautiful here, and we’ve started feeding the humming birds, the time has just flown by. Here it is Jun 7th already - and Frank’s got most of the top of his barn filled with hay already. He is going to do more hay today - cut several days ago, and now ready to bale. May was a busy month here at the Weston House, we had reservations at the end of April for 3 of the 5 weekends, and ended up renting 4 - with a last minute drop in Turkey hunter. That worked out well, we were empty. They were a family from Germany with two toddlers and a black lab. Great dog - obedience trained - but didn’t speak a word of English! Then we had a whirlwind of groups of young couples with babies or toddlers. They loved coming over to the farm and petting the horses noses. Laurie and Rose both happy to comply. Ellouise (last summer’s bottle fed porch sheep) is still a great hit because she comes down to see us, and let’s total strangers pet her, unlike most of the flock who are paranoid of strangers. She’s raising her really cute little white ram, but he’s not friendly like her - he’s a real sheep.
Anyway, the people have been happy at the house, but the time has just gone by so fast. I look down at my computer date, and can’t believe it’s already June 7th and where has the time gone? Rach finished school for the year, and now is working on plans to meet up with friends over the summer. I guess that’s the way it is when you’re busy!
