Long time no see

My oldest son racing at his school's Olympic day.
My youngest son's class. He's the little boy on the left end.
My little miss. She was hamming it up for the camera.
This is what the house site looked like after they took down the BIG white pine.
These little cuties were born Friday. I think they are baby mockingbirds.

Hi again! Whew, boy do we have some catching up to do. For starters, this is the last week of school and we know how crazy that can be. Things around the farm have been progressing...a little. Two weeks ago, the house came down. It took a total of 20 roll off dumpsters, and that was after we stripped the house and it was just a shell. Last Friday, the 15th, I was finally able to get our building permit. So, the batter boards and string went up. Today they are grading for the crawlspace walls. Tomorrow we should start digging for the footers. All the while, I have been working on getting prices for the framing package. Set building aside, the farm is alive!!!! The pasture is lush and green, we have caught lots of fish, birds are everywhere, Lilly and Jose (the miniature goats) are settling in nicely and we even have a horse (Gracie) boarded. Hopefully I will be able to document our progress now that the ball is rolling. Have a great day!!!

  1. The pictures are as cute as can be.

    It sounds as if you all are really getting things going your way.
    Good luck on it all.
    I can't wait to see all your progress.

    Thank-you for your visit and comment on Belle.

    Have a great day.
