Well, in addition to our single jersey bull, 23 chickens, and 4 turkeys, we added an additional jersey calf! We purchased him through a local auction barn today for a whole $4.02!!! He is only a day old and already has a special place in my heart.
We actually have the option of nursing calves back if we take them for free, as well. I wish that I had more room to put them and more funds to supply the starter milk that I would need (It costs about $70 for milk and grain to get them through until weaning).
So, if anyone would like to come for a visit after next week, you are more than welcome to stop by and visit all of our critters...It is a great place to come and bring a fishing pole!

Another adventure begins...
Well, so many things have changed since my last post. I have been busily working throughout the summer months photographing truck and tractor pulls. I absolutely love the view on the track and get to stay involved with many of the local farmers. I have also been commissioned to take photos at several weddings and a 50th anniversary party this year. Things are progressing faster than I have ever imagined.
I have also been putting together a business plan for a new biomass business right here in the Southern Tier of NY State. I have been in constant contact with many people who are looking toward the future and reducing the dependency upon Foriegn Oil and Fossil Fuels. It is great to see such a response from the farmers and landowners within our area and I am looking forward to working with the various companies for electricity production. If you would have told me a year ago that this is what I would have been doing...I would have flatly told you that you were insane. This has all happened so quickly but it has been a great adventure.
My goal for this year is to continue to do things that take me out of my "comfort zone" and continue to explore what new and exciting options are out there for me. I thank God everyday that He has shown me that through tragedy comes triumph and through total despair comes hope and faith. I feel so blessed where I am right now in my life! Thank you all for your continued and enduring support.
