Tired but Gratified

It's been a pretty slow news day - at least on the computer/technology front. However, back on the farm, it's been anything but slow.

I managed to get all of the wood from our lost redbud tree collected and moved into the east paddock. I also got the old woodpile outside of the garage reloacted to the same location. The goats and lambs love it - they have a new obstacle for their course, and I have a unified pile of firewood.

I posted a sale notice this morning for Lyra, a Highland heifer that we've scheduled with the packer for the 26th. Within less than 6 hours I had sold the entire animal - and this to a list of less than 30 names! Better still was the fact that we had two repeat customers in the bunch - it says something about quality when they come back for seconds.

Hopefully, I'll get my "moot post" completed by tomorrow night, but right now I'm gonna pop a squat and watch Koyaanisqatsi. If you've never seen this movie, rent it or buy it. You will not be disappointed - it's essentially a 90 minute music video: but the music is by Philip Glass, and it's nothing short of exquisite.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
