Time marches on...he's 5 months old already!

Classified Tech, that is! Better known to all of you as Isaac, the stowaway colt!


Seems like just a week ago, Grace burst into the kitchen shouting, "Mom, Sassy's having a foal!"

But, alas, summer is but a memory, and even autumn is passing quickly as we approach the end of 2016.

A lovely fall it has been, but sadly, we're now into CNY's "cloudy for 10 days straight" pre-snow weather.  (Definitely keeping the vitamin D supplements handy!)

 Ah, well, we're that much closer to our new adventures!




Thought I'd take a moment and share a few photos of our little rascal....

Isaac at 5 days old.... 











Isaac at about 5 weeks old...

By 14 weeks, Rosie and Don have him leading fairly well!

Today!

He's growing nicely.  We weigh-taped him at just over 400 lbs.!  And, Sassy Anna is looking pretty terrific for a 23 year old broodmare, all things considered.

This is the last of our decorative, brightly-colored trees.  The rest have either lost their leaves this week, or become more of a rich golden brown color.


Any other news?  

Well, Don begins his new job in Pennsylvania pretty soon.  If you are curious, you'll have to give him a call.  He's very excited about this new opportunity and loves to share!

I'm optimistic that this is a great career move for him at this time, not to mention allowing us to move much closer to the family and friends we love...and, have dearly missed these last four years.

And, it is with a touch of sadness that I share...we sold most of maple equipment today.

We still have to sell the Reverse Osmosis machine, and we are keeping some of the odds and ends items, so we can make a couple gallons of syrup for ourselves in 2017, before we move.  But for the most part, that chapter of our lives is complete.  We will hold onto many fond memories of our maple sugaring times as a family, that's for sure!  I'm so glad I chronicled our adventure with this blog!

We still have syrup for sale through Christmas!  Nate has some available for our PA friends and family, too.  So, don't hesitate to contact us for a purchase.

Visit right here after Thanksgiving for my last post in this blog!

Don's fun little project!
