Did you hear that loud clang?

Two day turnaround

Sigh. I am worn to a frazzle. I just drove 1200 miles in 2 days to go to a job interview in the area we are relocating to be told I was waaay overqualified for the job. Disappointing. I only need the job for a while, to get us up there and going. We will [...]

Farm updates

DJ and I are working on cleaning up beds, grabbing the last of the harvestable items, and just cleaning up in general. Our son will be taking over the whole shebang next year, and will be growing [...]

Still moving towards moving!

We have had a lot of movement (so to speak) towards our move to the coast. It looks like our departure date will be Oct 23, give or take a day or two. I will do a big update in a day or so going over all the details.
G-d is good!
We had fun making a [...]
