Happy November Friends! I can't believe we are in the last two months of 2023. We are 22 days from Thanksgiving and just 54 days from Christmas! But the most exciting countdown on the farm right now is Trexy's due date. We are only 17 days away but with the weather fluctuations we have had... I wonder if we will have an early delivery. We will be keeping a close eye on her from now on. Do you think she will deliver before Nov 18th??
