Labor Day

It has been a pretty busy day for Labor Day.

We have had a family staying in the cabin for the weekend.  They are from West Virginia and have goats and chickens.  They are thinking about adding sheep, so they picked Cabin Spring Farm for lodging while vacationing in the area.  I told them to bring farm clothes so they could trim sheep hooves while they were here and they took me up on it.  We did a few the first morning they were here and a few more this morning.  My business advisor says we should charge more when we let them have a unique farm experience, "like a dude ranch", she says.  Somehow, I don't think people would fall for that.  So we let our guests help out for free and they were so great.

One of the mental stresses I have had, while being out of commission, with my broken ankle, has been not being able to keep up with animal needs.  Today I feel great.

One of the kids in the family this weekend, is a 6 year old who knows how to crochet. so she came up to the fiber shed and spun some yarn to crochet with.  As they were leaving, two women came for a farm tour.

John is still trying to keep up with the grass, so he has been mowing a lot today.

 Not much relaxing yet, and we didn't take the boat to the beach, but we are planning hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill for dinner.  That will be good enough for a Labor Day celebration.
