International Guests

Good Morning from the Knolltop! It's a typical clear cool fall morning here with the sun just coming up over the horizon and there is frost on the windshield of the tractor sitting out in the field behind the house hooked up to the grain cart that is full of that gold stuff that is now worth more money than it's been in a long, long time.

Today is an exciting and busy day because we are hosting an international delegation here on the Knolltop. Yes, there will be people from Austrailia and Canada coming to the farm today to see the herd. They are due to arrive after lunch and I will have a buffet of cheese and crackers, apples and apple dip, grapes, fresh, hot sweetrolls and of course milk, iced tea and coffee.

This all sounds so exicting doesn't it? It sounds like something that would happen at Arethusa Farm in Connecticut or Mohrfields in Ohio on a regular basis, but really I have to come clean. Jerseyboy, aka Russell Gammon, the executive secretary of Jersey Canada and two Austrailian fitters who are here to work a couple of shows with Budjon are on their way down to Louisville and they wanted to stop in for a visit.

But, they are international guests...and I will be feeding them all that stuff and they will see the herd...so while I made it sound a big deal, we're really a good half way point for them to stop and stretch their legs and get a free bite to eat. I guess it's all a matter of perspective, isn't it?

Well, I've got lots to do before the international delegation comes, I'd better hop to it! Don't worry, I'll take lots of pictures of them for everyone to see...people get so tired of being in front of my camera!
