May is a busy time at the farm and at the Inn. Yesterday we moved the new hens (and we actually got one rooster too) up to their new quarters in the fenced free range area. They still have to be separated from the old hens until they are not so small...that pecking order can get pretty hectic sometimes! We have named the rooster Steu and the girls are just The Girls. Be sure to walk up and say hello if you are up here on the farm.
Today Neal is cutting the grassy fields and tomorrow it is back to spraying as the mildew is pretty difficult this season. Too much moisture, not enough wind to dry off the leaves, and too much heat make the perfect formula for those nasty spores so Neal is riding the tractor listening to Cat Stephens...never thought that would be the way to listen to that great songster.
As most are aware, Oregon has "Seven Wonders" and we invite you stop in here at the Inn on your way between two of them, The Oregon Coast and The Columbia Gorge. We believe Oregon's wine is the eighth wonder so come join us here in the hills and have a taste of that wonder, Black Walnut's Pinot Noir while looking at iconic Mount Hood in the distance. You know it is also one of Oregon's Seven Wonders. Come see one, or better yet, see them all!
