Trees for Fall Planting

We returned home late last night after a Friday picking up Christmas trees from western Michigan and a Saturday in Shipshewana at the Hoosier Sheep Symposium, learning about good sheep and grass management.

Five hundred trees now sit on a hay wagon in the barn yard, ready to be planted. We're again hoping for rain once the trees are in the ground. The forecast says to expect stray thunderstorms.

I wonder where they're straying from...

Thanks for Reading!

And I hope you feel refreshed and rejuvenated for the week ahead with this moment preserved in picture and prose. Consider:

This Week on the Farm

Coming soon: Subscriptions to Light in Winter, Season 2 will be opening up! Last year's Light in Winter was a hit for the whole family, and we're excited to again offer this newsletter series.

From the first week of November to the last week of February, you'll receive one illustrated story from the farm each week to brighten dark nights and warm cold days. Lydia Stewart will again be joining me as the illustrator.
