Tax day
2008
Today everyone
I talked to seemed grumpy. Is it because many of us had to write checks
from personal checking into accounts where the money is used for other
purposes which we can't always control? Sometimes it just seems like
everything that I'm doing for work is like straining against an elastic
band. One of my fellow PGA members said it well -- "Deals aren't
made, they are forced into existence."
Here on the farm
the weather is perfect, though. Beans are up, there is a cool breeze
and the sun is shining. None of the trees or chickens are at all worried
about anything but the weather, which is perfect.

On a bright note,
this week I started riding the young horse who was foaled here on
our property. He is a joy and I am looking forward to sharing adventures
with him for the next 20 years or so.
