Both sets of grandparents had farms and I love the >>country. Your place really looks wonderful. > >Where is this farm, how many acres? Temperatures are the same here in the NYS capitol district. When I bought this place the last owner had an oil burner for the furnace in the basement but also had a big wood burning stove along side that has a water jacket, and is connected to the oil furnace boiler and also to a separate domestic hot water tank... for 40 years he heated with wood, and prided himself that due to the few occasions the fire went low he burned less than 7 gallons of heating oil all year. There is also a huge, I mean a massive fire place upstairs in the living room, has heatilaters too, so it also can heat the entire house. But I'm not into wood burning, been there, done that, even done coal (I think chopping wood is more a male ego thingie), really there is no monetary savings, not when all factors are considered, especially ones time, and effort, not to mention having to chainsaw trees, split logs, haul and stack, tend to the fire multiple times each and every day (can't really go anyplace) and hauling ashes. So, with city slicker blood in my veins I had the oil burner converted to propane... got rid of the electric cook stove, and hooked up my Weber too. From going through all of last winter I discovered that heating with propane costs about 20% less than I paid to heat with oil on Lung Guyland, and that house was about 30% smaller and winters there averaged 20 dF warmer. I love my propane heat, no fuss, no muss, and most of all no stink. So, again where is that farm, and how many acres? I have 16 acres came with my house... but just last month I bought a 90 acre parcel a half hour drive north of here; mildly rolling hay fields, some wooded, and the most gorgeous distant 360 deg views of any property around here. Now all I have to do is find someone locally who can use the hay and is willing to pay my tax bill for the privilege... I'm not about to fall for the old ploy that you're doing me a big favor keeping my fields cut... uh uh... I'd rather spend a week brush hogging with my Kubota than give it away. Then at least I'd be putting all that organic matter back into the land instead of some smarmy farmer ******* laughing up his bib overalls as he steals my hay. Hey, I did my research, hay is big bucks. Hay sells for between $2-$3 a bale... more in winter. An acre yields between 250-300 bales each cutting. And there are usually two cuttings each year. All I want is $3,500 to cover my taxes... you do the math. ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

All > I want is $3,500 to cover my taxes... you do the math. 250-300 bales per acre per cutting? That seemed pretty high to me so I checked some sites. Average hay yield in the US is 2 tons per acre (per year) . Bales run 50-60 pounds, so using 55 that works out to about 73 bales per acre. The farmer certainly isn't doing you any favours by cutting your hay for free. It is better to work the land than to let it sit and get overgrown with scrub bush. My wife's family had a 100 acre farm that they had bought for speculation. Until it was sold it was rented out to a dairy farmer for enough to pay the taxes. The farmer had no complaints and we certainly didn't. |

My kind of perfect life for sure. Don't fault you in the least for being hard to deal with when it comes to parting with you little bit of heaven. Nothing on this earth more soothing than a babbling brook. On a nice sunny day. Hugs , Kate |

Now we've been asked over to some friends' house for dinner, so all I have to do is buy the hostess a bottle of Grand Marnier and a bottle of champagne. This is the launching of their newly-remodeled kitchen, which I haven't seen yet. They will have a large crowd of their old friends that we don't really know too well, so may not stay for hours. We won't get any leftovers so I will probably brine the turkey the next week and rotisserie it on the grill. I think I will try to put a disposable pan under it to catch the drippings for gravy. Since I won't have stuffing leftovers, I might just make some Stovetop. Don't laugh. I've read so many stories of cooks passing Stovetop off for the homemade thing and getting rave reviews. >"I stayed up all night playing poker with tarot cards.

For several years now we have spread dinner out with many spaced out courses, all small. Between courses, people take walks in the lovely village of Woods Hole and get caught up.
