A Pair of Presents from Peaches
Our Christmas presents didn't only appear under our tree this year, but were also left in the barn. Peaches, one of our original does (and also our most prolific) dropped a set of twins--buck on the left and doe on the right. Ralph has been sick so he didn't go along to the family gathering at my brother's over in Perry County. No sooner had we sat down to our holiday dinner when the cell phone rang with the good news. By the time we got home later in the afternoon, the kids were clean, dry and had bellies full of colostrum.
Sandra is a witty writer, farmer and damn good cook who has been slicing her finger open on the cutting edge of the sustainable agriculture and local foods movements for the last twenty five years. Her books, How to Sell At Farmers Market and How To Kiss A Chicken On The Lips will be published in Spring 2013.
That Peaches knows how to reproduce! Merry Christmas, Sandy.
