It is definitely January in Indiana. Gloomy with melting, thawing muddy mess everywhere. I made the mistake of going to the barn in a pair of crocs yesterday. Wet, cold feet are not a good combination in the winter.
The girls (chickens) are finally laying again. We are getting 5-8 eggs per day. Not a good ratio due to all the girls we have but much better than the past couple of months of nothing. Buying eggs from the store hurts when you are paying to feed the girls and they aren't doing their part.
I haven't seen the grandkids since Christmas. We have been passing around the flu (swine flu?) since a couple of days past Christmas. I sure do miss those rugrats. Sam called to tell me she was mad at me because she hasn't seen me. She was coughing the entire time she was talking. What do you tell a 2 year old? Tucker and Lauren are growing like weeds. Wyatt is doing well in school. He seems to like the 4th grade pretty well.
I received an e-mail response from the economic development people about the Hymera project. They have been working closely with the town on infrastructure (water, waste water (that used to be called sewage) and stuff like that. Good for business attraction but not for promoting the town. I plan to meet with the gentleman soon. I'll post as soon as I have the meeting.
Getting ready for our first show of the year. It is in Robinson, IL. It is called a Winters Day in the Garden. If you mention this blog I will give you 10% off your purchase of Appleseed Farm products at this show. Hope to see you there.
See ya on the farm

howdy charlotte - i am in hibernation too! I decided to take a "walk" over to your house/farm. Everything sounds good - like that spirit i hear - new girl - pitching to all sorts of people - financials - etc - sounds great - i had a v busy year - sold a lot more frames than last year - i just did my books - i made 800 frames last year! no wonder my hands hurt - did not sell all 800, but most of them! went to columbus ohio for a show - that was a bit of hike! i have new goals this year too. sounds like things are going well for on the farm - i will continue to pop in now and again. still loving the blog...got 7 new wholesale accounts this year - but it took a lot of time...and work at the office is busy ... so i am burning the candle at both ends - i am loving this hibernation. ciao xo m
