Last night I was watching the monitor and ran down to the barn at 2am, sure the baby was on its way. But, false alarm. Cori is staring to shuffle her back feet [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our place is 15 acres in Christiansburg, VA. It is small compared to the 300 acres at Tanbark Acres, 65 miles south. But I like it nonetheless. And it is hard enough to work 15 acres thank you!  We&#8217;ve been putting up a barn and fencing the pastures for what seems like an eternity, [...]]]></description>
