Calvin the dun colored Dexter bull stares me down in my neighbor Mac Whatley’s pasture in Franklinville, North Carolina. The Dexter breed is the smallest European cattle breed and was developed in Ireland. They were used for milk, meat and as oxen for work.

Seeds in the Greenhouse
Though it’s still cold, it’s getting that time of year to start thinking about gardens. Last week my 90 year old cousin Thomas Routh and his wife Lula Mae were out in their greenhouses planting and transplanting tomatos and other vegetable plants. Thomas and Lula Mae sell plants, but they also grow a large garden and sell produce through the summer at the farmer’s market in Asheboro.

Eggs in the Stable
(Photograph copyright 2012 by Dan Routh)
We have a chicken coop in our back yard in Grays Chapel, North Carolina, and we have nesting boxes for our chickens to lay in. But, we let them free range most of the time and they occasionally decide to use other spots. When we were short of eggs for a couple of days, I looked around and found a dozen in the corner of a stable in the barn.
