It must be spring because the Schraffts left work/school yesterday and hit Richardson’s Dairy.
The boys got gift cards in their Easter baskets and, since it was a whopping 50ish degrees after school, they naturally wanted to go get the first official ice cream of the season. With the Red Sox game on the radio (they won 8-0, by the way) and the windows down for a stretch of the ride…off we went….because, really, how do you say “no” to that?
A couple of years ago we were fortunate enough to see a calf being born this time of year. It was pretty awesome for the boys to see. Yesterday’s wildlife adventure on the farm was led by a hawk…who apparently thought that Easter was not over because he was clearly still out on an egg hunt.
Check your calendar, Hawk. Easter is over….and, you can sit there looking all threatening all afternoon, but those birds aren’t going to give up their eggs.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Sounds like a winner of a day!

50ish now that’s a heat wave as of late…There is always something special on the farm life at it’s best and always a new experience like going out to pull the pots. I remember we used to get into an old 1950 chevy truck 2 1/2 ton at Young’s Farm non-running, up on high street in a field that faced days pond and play driving. Everything was fine until the bull got outside keep us stuck in there (truck) for quite a while until – they brought in the herd for milking time. We stayed in the truck stuck for at least 2 hours scared of bull known to charge you…Truck driving days were over at that time! 🙂 Dave & Kim-)
Thanks for the memories! 🙂
