June 21, 2011. Artemas, PA. We are Set.

We have completed everything on our list, here at the farm,  so now we are heading north.   Last evening we gave Brian a cheque for the purchase of the steer at the fair, so when we return, we will have a freezer full of good Angus meat.

 A friend from work has a client  interested in purchasing a farm in Bedford County, so tomorrow, they are coming to talk to us about the farm business.  They will arrive about noon.  It will be fun to show them our farm and to see the improvements.  The farm right now looks spectacular.  It is a working farm.  The fields of hay and corn are growing well and the herd of cattle is thriving.  We have 28 calves, one bull and 29 heifers.  The weather has been kind.  The sun shines every day, yet every afternoon the rains come too.  It is perfect weather for growth.  The farmers are smiling.

I have all my duds ready to put in the truck.  Ken has yet to organize anything.  My pattern and Ken's pattern is different.  But I am the one who usually forgets something important.  He does all the technical organization too.  I am sure we will all be ready to drive away at the same time.  Whether we leave tomorrow or Thursday depends on how much the folks want to spend with us.  It doesn't really matter to us.
