We first saw the farm in January, in the dead of winter. We moved here in April and saw first hand the farm in bloom. And now... summer on the farm. Of course, we are now in July and just finishing up a major heat wave--which I can't quite talk about yet--still recovering from heat stroke :) So... let's go back to June when the grass was still green and needed to be mowed...
Our trusty lawn mower!
It takes J and I about 6 hours
to mow the lawn. We take
turns-- it's our new workout!
This is two bags full of clippings. We
get about 3 wheel barrels full, if we
mow the whole lawn in one day!
Typically, we just mow a few hours each day.
Here is farmer J building the chicken tractor.
More to come on this... still a touchy issue :)
In the summer, on the farm, you never
know what your child will find! JJ
found a deer skull!
My parents gave me this egg basket for my
birthday. It's an antique and will be very
useful when my girls start laying eggs. Thanks
Mom and Dad!
This is one of my favorite views
on the farm. All the beautiful
purple flowers in bloom.
Summer tea. After spending time
in the south, I've been
really into sweet tea. J made
me some homemade sweet tea!
Another gift from my parents-- a nice
place to keep all our kindling. This
will really come in handy next winter.
A summer boat ride at my parent's cabin-
Papa and pick-pick. I love this picture and
had to add it!
We don't have a sidewalk but
we have a lovely brick pathway to our
front door. I came back from work
to find each brick beautifully
colored by my family-- guiding me home.
Bright hot, pink petunias! In full
bloom in late June.
The garden in late June. Luckily, all of
farmer J's hard work (i.e., creating
garden Fort Knox) is paying off.
The garden is growing beautifully!
Here is one of our Rhode
Island Reds (i.e., no name meat bird).
Our roosters are getting very big--
and very noisy at 4:45 in the morning!
p.s. This blog is dedicated to Karina-- my number one fan!
