WTF News April 20th

Wild Turkey Farms News- April 20

Another busy week has come and gone. We had our first pick up for the CSA this week, I spent plenty of time riding up and down the road hauling stuff, not to mention weeding the garden, grinding feed, moving critters around, feeding animals, and the countless other things that needed tending to. This time of year the days start early and end late. One night Domisty was putting Charlie to bed while I was at the farm doing something at 9pm. In the normal course of pre-sandman conversation, Charlie told her "mommy, we sure are lucky to have a farm. It's gives Daddy something to do all day since he doesn't have a real job." Now, alone this may be attributed to the cute ramblings of a 5 year old but the next week both he & Rosty started singing George Thorogood's "Get A Haircut & Get A Real Job" and have done so periodically since. So if anyone knows of anybody that's hiring please let me know so I can follow up on the hints......
