Springtime at the Farm

We have returned from the farm and, boy oh boy, was it ever cold and windy up there! Luckily, quite a few relatives showed up to help plant the trees on Saturday, and we completed the job in less than two hours. One cousin from Traverse City brought sloppy joes for lunch, and did not inform us until afterwards that they were made with venison. I wanted to say eeeewww, but they, in fact, tasted delicious. It was my first time sampling deer meat - if you don’t count the time I choked down reindeer stew in Finland. (Now, there is a game-y flavor.) Late Saturday afternoon, we ventured out to Lake Michigan to watch the waves, then dropped a little cash in the casino at night. All in all, we had a fun time, and Jacob was able to get some driving time in at the farm as well.
