Everything seems so normal here ...
We're milking and feeding and harvesting as always
The boys are playing baseball
I just finished teaching 91 students in swimming lessons
My brother, sister, cousins, aunt, uncle just visited from various states
However ...
There's an executive order to wear masks
There's a question about in-person school in the fall
The news is filled with horrible headlines
It all, really, just seems so far away. Our lives, as much as we can control them, are the same.
The cows don't care - they're still getting milked. The boys are still doing calf chores. Our wonderful team - plus all the vets, nutritionists, hoof trimmer, custom harvest guys - are all working just like normal. There's never been a time they didn't.
That's what we do ... not only do we do it because it's our job, we do it because we all need to eat.
Looking around at the farm, you would never know anything was different. Let's hope we all get back to that soon.
