I enjoyed my time with Stu, Melisa and the kids. They were very gracious to me when I got sick and was not able to give 100% on those days. I started helping out with the calves, but spent most of my time there taming the jungle into a manageable garden again. I hope the Winter veges are growing nicely for you all now.
