Saturday, December 12, 2020 11:43 AM
Escaping in a book is a lifetime passion of mine. Since I was a little kid, I have loved to read and have done so whenever I can spare the time. The winter months are perfect for reading.

Lending a helping hand
Monday, October 12, 2020 10:18 AM
Forages are all tucked in for the season at our dairy so there is a bit of time to breath before grain harvest and corn stalk bales.
