The Farm Side, the newspaper column I write for our local weekly, is usually on the pay page.
Thus normally I don't link to it.....
However, this week, there is a link in the daily email so I will share it with you.
If you wish to read the critter that was the forerunner of Northview you can do so here.
Apple Season has Arrived.
On the way over to the fair for the Holstein show the other night we followed an isolated, but intense, thunder storm to Altamont. The gigantic, flashing, grumbling cloud spewed rain and lashed winds as it hurtled eastward, then jingled half a dozen double and triple rainbows behind it. We stopped near an orchard to take a photo of a particularly vibrant one, arching all brilliant and glorious over shaggy farm fields. It was a quick point and shoot, across in front of the boss and out the car window so there was little time for frame and focus.

I didn't know your border collie was so good at herding turkeys. Did you get any for Thanksgiving dinner? Or does Alan have to wait until later??? Mom
YUM! i love apples.
and one of my favorite hiking snacks is homemade dehydrated apples. (i LOVE my dehydrator.) soak the apple slices in orange juice to prevent browning and add a burst of sweetness. so very good.
heh. wv: rednet
Dani, they would probably move right into your garden if you let them. This is the first I have seen them in the heifer pasture since spring....
Linda, they were amazing, although we were hustling to see if the kids were all right over at the fair. The storm was short, but it was a humdinger.
Ericka, drooling here. I have always wanted a dehydrator. What a wonderful way to make yummy stuff. I do a little in the oven, but it isn't the same at all.
