 Today Is . . . Minimize

June 5, 2008

What a week!  I just got home from a great meeting of Wiregrass Beekeepers Association and am while I'm tired, I'm still pretty excited about some of the stuff going on.  The meeting was great.  Joe Burke talked about honeybee diseases and pests, and while its not a new topic, I still learned things I didn't know.  Be sure to check out our club calendar and if you're in the area, join us sometime!

I'm happy to announce a new page in the Fire Ant First Aid section of  the website.  On Memorial Day Norman, bless his brave soul, stuck his arm in fire ants to demonstrate the effectiveness of the product.  After documenting the bite, he applied Fire Ant First Aid to half of the contact area and left the other half untreated and took photos every day. The photos are around day two or three.   He mentioned several times that the greatest benefit was that it stopped the itching where he used it. 

Still no rain here on the farm.  It, elections and gas prices seem to be the current conversation in our area.  Norman and Becky turned the cows into the big pasture to take advantage of what would have been our hay.  God knows what he's doing with the weather, but we will definitely have to sell some calves come winter. 

On the upside I extracted honey last weekend.  I was only able to pull four supers and got around 11-12 gallons.  Two dozen jars were out the door almost as soon as it was strained.  There will be more to pull in a few weeks once more supers are capped. 

Currently Becky and I are getting ready for a show on Lake Martin on Saturday, the Lil' Calypso Art Festival,  a charity event.  This will be her first show as a vendor and we'll be neighbors with Bare Naked Bars (barenakedbars.com) and Nanny's Gifts.   Come see us if you're in the area!  It should be fun. 

Till next time!

 FYI for Parents Minimize

We're on your side.

Please know that as parents ourselves we are very aware of the the blessings and curses internet use can bring to a family.  While the technology and potential are nothing short of amazing, the potential for harm is equally enormous.

Hortons Farm and our home has been a 'safe place' for many years, even before we were a real farm. We've tried to maintain it as a place where kids hearts are safe; a place where they'll be unconditionally loved, encouraged, challenged and pointed to God. This holds true for every child and young adult who's been to the farm. While puppies, calves, canoes and bees are fun and interesting, we strive to convery the underlying message of honesty, integrity, love of God and hard work. Our own four children were raised in this environment and they appear to be catching the vision of ministry to others. 

That being said - the same philosophy has been applied to this site.  While it's not necessarily put together "for" kids, there is content for them and it's all very safe.  We hope you'll enjoy too.
