Another great one

I don't know if we are talking about the weather or the great Bean-hole supper we just had. I guess there was about 80 people who came to enjoy the meal. We were real busy over the weekend. Afternoons here get a little crazy with lots of tourists and creemees. Some times I really wonder where they all come from. WOW....
WE have a few pints and half pints of beans,potato salad, and cole slaw left to sell, so if you want some you better get here quick. We still have plenty of creemees. Enjoy this beautiful day.

Think we got some rain.

Wow what a day Wednesday at the Morse Farm. We had 2 buses scheduled for 3:00 and 3:30 with sugar on snow. But before that a small van came also so Burr gave them a tour and soon they were on their way. Sometimes during the day it was sunny other times it was pouring. Take your pick. Soon our afternoon buses came. It rained HARD. We were busy enough so I had forgotten the windows being down a little in my car, no big deal. So by the time the second bus was ready to leave it was dumping it.
The driver decided to bring the bus up to the front door to get people out of the rain quicker. Well out the front door there was a river, somehow the sign for Tommy's
beef got knocked over and they were using it for a bridge over the water. Good thing most of them had on sandles and short pants. I heard some "oh my goodness" and " how am I going to do this", I went out to see if I could help. Well I ended up standing in the water helping ladies across with their canes and walkers. Needless to say the water soaked up the back of my pant legs and when I got in my car other parts got wet too. Oh happy day. Let's just have sunshine.

UPDATES

A couple things to talk about, first the white-faced calf is a bull and the little all black calf is a heifer. So now we can all tell them apart since they are about the same size. Our Bean-hole supper is coming right up on the 24th of July which is this Saturday evening. We will be serving from 5:30 til 8:00. Call ahead to reserve your spot. It's always good, plenty of food, and you'll probably see some of your friends and neighbors here too. Dessert? MAPLE CREEMEES OF COURSE. Buy one out front and let your supper settle while you sit on the porch. See you soon.

Learning to fly

Yesterday I heard a lot of noise on the back deck. Birds. I saw some tourists out on the enclosed deck taking pictures of 4 to 5 baby Barn Shallows all lined up waiting for Mom to return with breakfast, then the racket really began. The mom took turns feeding each one then a couple at a time they flew a little ways testing their wings but hurrying back to safty and to see if mom had more food. Very cute. Little buff colored bellies all in a row on the railing. Test your wings today try something new. Have a great day.

Another baby.

Well,baby # 2 is now out in our pasture with Mom. Same color, black, but I haven't heard what it is yet. They look so cute out there next to their huge moms. By the end of the year they will be almost as big as their mothers. Our other animals seem happy and well fed. Otis certainly gets a good share of the food, just start walking over there and you'll probably be followed by that little brown goat,up the ramp and put something in the bucket and watch our showoff. Hasn't refused a snack yet.

Holy Cow.

Just when you think you've heard it all, someone else makes a statement that just leaves you shaking your head. People are strange with some funny ideas. We were asked if there was a real cow buried under the granite cow statue. What? Are you kidding? I wanted to respond "No, it's a horse", but I politely said it was a gift to us from a local lady about Vermont family farms. She said "okay" and walked away. Have a great holiday weekend.
