One thing that really sucks about living alone and tending to the farm as much as I do is that holidays like April 1st (April Fools Day) are just another day on the farm. There is no one around to play a joke on, what a bummer. I used to love playing pranks on people as a kid, any day of the year was a good day to get a good laugh!

It’s a good thing that I can get a lot of what I need delivered right to my door by ordering items via the Internet. I don’t do a whole lot of printing here at the farm but just [...]
