Hooray for spring break….

….increasingly we plan our calendar around grandson Church’s school breaks.  He can do anything Grandpa ever did…and better.  He’s always loved the farm but now his physical ability is catching up with his enthusiasm.

On this Spring Break he eschewed the usual Florida getaway of many college students….even a vacation in Sicily….to give us a hand at Thistle Hill.  The chores including fence and gate repair, putting out minerals, seeding a recently reclaimed wooded area for pasture (it had grown over with scrub trees), and most important sorting and preg checking cows, then bringing in the bulls.

It was a full week of work for a “vacation”.  And I’ve by no means listed everything.

On our annual trip to England this summer, we’ve decided to take Church along.  It’s time for him to meet our friends and partners in Devon, Somerset and Cornwall.  They’ll be his partners soon, too.
