feeding time

spring is indeed here.  today, at eighty degrees, every cell in my body was trying to trick me into not taking the day off.  but there's this to do, and of course that.  as the temperature rises, the pace will only grow faster.  today, two weeks before the first farmer's market, what feels like a hectic pace is still only the slow click-click ascent of the rollercoaster.  soon, out goes the bottom. 

the cows know it's spring as well, and they are itching for fresh pasture.  the winter was long and wet, and everyone is glad to see the grass greening up--both one stomachers as well as the multis.  in the video i am pitchforking out some of the last hay we will feed for the season, which for sure is a good thing.  pushing around a thousand pounds of hay by yourself is no joke.  at least my former trainer from nyc would be proud. 

next week:  the green, green life of grazing returns to fowler farm.
