my biggest guys are on the coast, the pacific coast, enjoying the beauty of california and the company of awesome family.

i know, you all gaze upon my son eating fresh harvested crab and my man hovering over the cliffs of big sur and think i might be envious.  i thought the same as i anticipated their departure. wallowing in self pity about the chores i would have to do solo, tending to everything in their absence. alas, that is not how it is playing out here on the farm. with 2 big eaters hovering in someone else’s kitchen, i have so much time on my hands. me and my other two wander in the woods before and after chores, meal time is a breeze, the hollow is calm. we are having a staycation of sorts and while it is perhaps less exciting than  winter travel, it is lovely.

friends, before you think me too entirely selfless, i am already beginning plans for OUR trip to the relatives, watch out Mann Family Farm, the rest will arrive in June!!
