And So It Begins...

Well, I've done it; I've jumped on to the blogging band-wagon. It has been suggested that I blog so that friends and family can hear all about my exciting (or not so exciting) life on the farm. I think that's mostly because no one can believe I actually live on and participate in a farm.
A little background: I live on a small 10 acre hobby farm in Tipton, Iowa. We raise 2 pigs to butcher every year (the last set were named Pork and Beans), chickens for eggs and our newest additions are Helen and Keller, our mostly blind Black Angus calves. I do a lot of gardening in the spring, summer and fall and I seem to always be mowing the grass so I get a pretty good tan during the warmer months. I'll try and post pictures and keep everyone up-to-date on the latest farm happenings! But, being that it's winter there isn't a lot going on so you will just have to read my ramblings until spring.
I've been told that it is very enjoyable and even cathartic to blog. So far I'm enjoying myself!
So here it is, my first blog. Enjoy!
