Home, Home on the Range


Dan came home from college for the first time last weekend! It has been great to see him!
Some students paid a visit to the farm a few weeks ago!
Yikes!

November 2013

The fall colors have been beautiful! This red maple was originally planted in front of our red barn, and we could never enjoy its color! A few years ago Tom dug it up and switched places with a yellow maple. The farm aesthetics are much improved as a result.
We went to the folk and roots festival in Urbana last weekend.  I attended a songwriting workshop where the leader wanted us to sing songs we've written and then critique them. I got to play "The Pharmacy." While it was well-received, I think I'll keep my day job.
Tom's organic farm is planted in winter wheat!  Next June it will be a golden sea.
Shadow slept soundly as these deer walked across our lawn.
 The new addition to the barn is underway.  This is looking south.
The builders say it will be finished by Thanksgiving.
