Yesterday was a BUSY day...then again, thinking back, so was the day before ..and the day before that, smile. Still a bit shell shocked about the ramifications of Gregs news but it just means a new direction and a new plan, life is good. One of the great things about the ranch is that we have met some amazing people/ families who just "pop in" for eggs, fruit ..custom meat orders ...or just for a chat. Yesterday a great family arrived just as we were getting into a project and they all pitched in, by the end of the afternoon we were all in the round pen, hauling on different ends of a fish net that seemed to have no end..no beginning and holes in the middle. Michelle, family mom (mum) found that she was height challenged but ingenuity jumped in and she was walking around the bars, taller than the rest of us, thanks you guys, we appreciated the help. Brian my honourary Brit and Stephanie, enthusiastic and fun, thanks for brightening our day ! Why were we putting a fish net on the round pen ? our turkeys need rehoming and we don't want a new fast food outlet for racoons eagles etc Time to go, cuckoo says 7.30 am, Bran is waiting at the door and Destiny has taken up her position at the gate . Take care, M

This has been a tough week, I'm sorry that I haven't been around over the past few days but a few "issues" have popped up and we are trying to figure out how to deal with them. Almost 2 years ago Greg had a serious back injury which left him struggling with problems in the nerves in his leg. Last week he had an MRI scan which shows a degeneration of the discs in his back and which is now causing problems in both legs. Life on the ranch is very busy and the manual work entailed will obviously not help him to heal so we are working out a new business plan. Sadly this means that Bandit, Jolene and their happy little bands have to go. We are not going to leave the ranch, we love it here and we love the community that welcomed and support us, we couldn't leave. Possibly we will do more horse boarding and keep up the fresh egg sales, chickens and turkeys... something that isn't too taxing on poor Greg. We will have to have a business meeting ! (OH NO !!!) we know how that goes. I will keep you up to date on how things are going and want to thank all of you that follow the "goings on" on the ranch. Take care. M
