Happenings on the Ranch

Our opening day of the Lee’s Summit Farmer’s Market was yesterday.  I, as it happens, was not there.  I am writing this from my grandmother’s kitchen in Colorado Springs (on my mom’s new mini laptop!).   I’ve been here since Thursday so Arcenio had the task of managing our first market day.  While we don’t have produce ready yet we did have meat and eggs available and I’m happy to say it sounds like many of you came out to see us.  Thanks for that and I will be out there on Wednesday starting at 7am so be sure to come by and say “hi.”  And remember you can always order online ahead of time and we’ll bring your order to market ready to go!

I’ve also gotten reports that we have had four goslings hatch since I’ve been gone.  I love watching the babies being born so I’m sorry I missed it but will be sure to post a picture when I get home.

Our son Devon has also had his first two baby pigeons born to one of his pairs.  I saw those before I left and, I have to say, those little things are pretty ugly when they are born.  When the parent birds don’t mind me getting a little closer I’ll post a picture of them too, while they are in their “ugly” stage. 

I’ll post again when I’m back! -Karin
