A Rooster Mood Booster

(sorry we are late, he had to spend the morning crowing!)

Your jiggly bits are just bits. It’s the whole you that we love. Tis the season for affection expressed in baked goods. You deserve to gobble up every delicious bit of love and warmth that comes your way.

Here’s What’s Happening At Good Spirits Farm

• The newsletter is late today because we have our AirBNB back up and running and our first guests in a good long while arrive tonight! I wanted to make sure everything was perfect and give it one last vacuum and dusting this morning. We’re excited to welcome new friends to the farm!

• We are about halfway through replacing our road frontage fencing. The farm sits on a really busy highway, and I have been so worried about Veli or Juliet slipping between the barbed wires on the old fence and getting hit by a car. Fencing is a huge cost, so we basically had to play the “what thing do we need the most game.” Ultimately, a newer, more reliable farm truck lost out in favor of a safer fence for the critters. I’m excited to sleep more soundly at night knowing there’s a strong barrier between my animals and the highway.

• Nurse would like me to tell you that she loves you. And she would like you to boop her snoot. In fact, I have a line of sheep just waiting for snoot boops! Happy Friday! *boop!*

  Here’s What I Loved This Week

  A thing that has made our rural life a little bit richer is Goldbelly. (I promise, I get no kickbacks for these things!) You can essentially order meal kits (with really minimal cooking) from restaurants all over the U.S. While it is a bit on the pricey side, it’s not any more expensive than a special meal at a nice restaurant with drinks and a tip. We had Korean Barbeque last weekend, and it was such a delight—especially considering our nearest Korean restaurant is two hours away.
