Everything's hopping on the farm. Emery moved the egg mobile to a new field with steering help from one of the hens. The chickens checked out their new homemade, automatic waterer and scoured over a new (to them) field, scratching and kicking over clods of dirt looking for emerging bugs and worms and snails.

I had been feeling like a big man with my four-wheel-drive truck, charging up our farm hill like it was nothing. But yesterday's and today's winds left two- and three-foot snow drifts, and even the new truck was no match for THE HILL. I felt like Charlie Brown must have felt when he faced the kite-eating tree, or when he trusted Lucy to hold the football. We got so close to the top ....and then started sliding down. Today, Emery and I walked the quarter mile to the back of the farm to feed and water the animals. But we will be back to conquer The Hill. Oh, yes, we will be back.
