46ºF on the farm today!

They say the rain is on it's way but it's great outside right now!
I've been out pruning our Mulberry trees. I've never really pruned them before but noticed this year they have lots of sucker shoots and have really filled in. Our little guests love picking the mulberries and climbing the ladder we usually have set up in them. Their mom's really like their purple hands and faces when their done too!
I took the snowmobile out this a.m.. Couldn't resist. It was just setting there. We still have some snow-cover but there are certainly lots of bare spots too, especially on the side hill where you can see deer eating every afternoon.
Yesterday we took what seemed like an endless drive to NY to pick up a new fullblood Boer buckling for our herd. He is only 8 weeks old. We went all the way to Halcott Center to find him. I'll try to get a photo up of him in a day or so.
Made a soft cheese for dinner tonight. We'll serve it w/ crackers for an appetizer. I think I'm making chili.
