One Flu over the Cuckoo's nest

Yep, I still got the flu. Coughing, sneezing, and all the rest. The good news is the farm is starting to come together and the system seems to be working. I have not gone into detail yet on what part everyone plays in this little drama so maybe today is a good day.

Isabella and James visited the farm today. Isabella wanted to take a picture for you all and I got one of them with the cows too.

We now have a full grown 3 year old Holstein bull on the farm. He is a big big boy. I have a grainy photo here for you. I will try to get a better one on a less rainy day.
