Three Years Later

You know when you have a great idea, you get everything in place to make it happen... and then do nothing with your project?

Yeah, that's pretty much been the theme of this blog.

Besides, what farmer really has time to blog? If a farmer has time to blog, he probably isn't farming. Because every minute of every day could be consumed by all of the farm chores. Milking cows, bedding the livestock, fixing fences and other broken things, mixing feed, chasing loose livestock, fixing more fences... and so on. Oh, and somehow a farmer is supposed to squeeze food, family and checking the weather in between all of the usual chaos.

Really, when a farmer says he is going to blog, what that actually means is that this farmer wants a blog and he wants his daughter to do all of the blog maintenance for him. And create the layout. And pretty much be the farmer's professional, unpaid, genius ghost-writer.

That would be me, the daughter, finally getting around to updating the farmer's blog. In between milking the cows and trying to maintain a blog of my own. It only took me two years to hack back into this blog... after a million failed attempts at guessing the farmers blog password, which he'd also forgotten.

Somehow, I need to find a way to teach, convince or trick the rest of the family (including the farmer) into updating this blog as well, so that I'm not the solo writer on this webpage. ...and if I'm the main author, well.... you might as well read my blog instead. ;)

So here's to another attempt at keeping a real farm blog. 2nd time around, 3 years later, and dairy farming organically instead of conventionally... but I'll save that story for another post (and maybe another author)
