Beautiful photos. I can imagine it's hard work but very rewarding to live on a farm. I respect people who have that lifestyle. Very neat you're growing grapes!
Quite a menagerie and farm you have! And it looks like a lot of work has been done already, though of course there's always more to be had. The peaches are gorgeous, and the grapes are striving to be heard. Re honey, in NorCal, there's a lot of star thistle honey (b/c there's a lot of star thistle). It's actually one of my favorites, and herbalists told me that it's good health-wise, against allergies etc. But with bees, they'll decide which their favorite flowers are. Good luck in your endeavor!
There is so much that happens every day, I'm not sure whether to make it factual or fictional to protect the innocent. We have to talk about this in France.
The learning curve sounds intense! Good for you. I look forward to more updates.
There's something that happens every day. I think the chickens are my largest worry. I know lots of things about farm life, but zilch about chickens.

I’ll remember your positive comments through all the chaos! Thank you.
haha yes my pleasure! At the very least the chaos is an excellent source of writing inspiration.
What an exhilarating adventure. And how great that you get to go to Bangkok when all the poop is delivered!

I’ve never heard of star thistle honey. I’ll have to see if they have it here.
It's a good one--not too sweet-- and I saw all your star thistle. The CA fields are strewn w/ it as are yours.
Oh my, this is incredible! I love what you've posted so far of the journey and look forward to reading more.

Which clone of Cabernet Sauvignon did he plant?
I will have to ask him. I'll make a list of everything he planted and send it to you DM.
What an adventure! Hats off to how intrepid you guys are!
I'm not sure intrepid is the correct word Michael. Given the geese fiasco we've had over the last two days I think insanity is more appropriate.
Let's go with intrepid insanity then!
