Snowmobiling is a Blast!

We have gotten the first half way decent snow fall of the year, although it only amounted to a couple of inches and then turned to ice as soon as the sun went down. It would be nice to get a real good blanket of six inches or more, that would make the idea of dragging out the snowmobile and go for a nice long ride, we certainly have enough land to make a good time of some snowmobiling for several hours.

SLEDtv.org has some great snowmobiling videos that are always interesting to watch and learn from, their well established forum is always full of good stories and information about this sport that just isn’t get much attention, with our lack of a good snow fall so far this year. We still have over a month to go before spring comes back around and the farm will be getting way to busy to even think of taking a ride.

1st Party at the Farm, Birthday Style

The celebrating of my nephew’s 1st birthday is in the planning stage, my sister is extremely excited about this event, she tried for so long to have a baby and is loving the whole experience of motherhood. She wants to hold the party here at the farm, in the spring, I believe the date is May 28th, a reallygood time to have an outside party, if the weather doesn’t interfere, the springtime rains do come and go as they please.

A farm barn and animal theme birthday party will do just fine, we have a few ponies here that we can give pony rides on, which is always a hit with the kids. Spring time brings with it new life with several of the farm animals here, there will be baby goats, cows, ducks, geese, pigs and hopefully a few colts or fillies will be gracing us with their company by that time. So we will have our own personal “petting zoo” for them to enjoy.

There hasn’t been a party around here for some time, it will be good to have a large group of friends and family around the place for the day, a lot of work, but worth the time and effort and I’m looking forward to it come spring.
