They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
Last Thursday but one (9/12/2025) we went down to Graham to drop off a load of trash, and then to pick up some alfalfa for Iris. Along the way we ran into a little problem. We're screwed! As soon as we got back to the farm, we moved the old hay to consolidate it and… Continue reading Man Work Time!
