Farm Cruzin'

Austin and Alexa Gator cruzin' at the farm on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. 

Winter Morning at the Farm

 

 

Winter at the Farm

Spring at the Farm

Grandpa, Peyton and Austin went

fishing in the front pond at the Farm.

Oh how Peyton wanted to catch the "cat"on Sunday afternoon!

 It didn't happen.

But, Grandpa went back with a friend

on Thursday, and caught the "cat". 

It had grown in weight and length since it was last caught

two summers ago.

Grandpa threw it back in the pond and hopes

Peyton or Austin can catch it next time!

Snacks for Red

 It's spring in Kentucky!

Austin and Peyton fed Rescue Red 

a snack of carrots and an apple on Sunday afternoon.

What fun! 

I'm not sure if the boys or Red enjoyed it the most!

New Friend at the Farm

 

The new addition at the farm is a "rescue" horse,

 "Rescue Red" is Austin's new friend.   

 

 



Babies at the Farm

 

Glenn wanted a few sheep at the farm,

probably to remind him of seeing so many sheep

during our wandering along

the farms and country roads on various visits

 to England and Wales.

 

Our little flock has more than doubled in the

past 11 days.

 

The three children in our family spent Sunday afternoon

with Grandpa at the farm loving on these little fellows.
 

Making memories on the farm with Grandpa!



Boys at the Farm

 

PJ and his Mom came for a visit so he could

go to the farm to see Grandps's new toy,

er, I mean tractor.  Looks like PJ and AJ

had a great time despite the cold weather and snow! 

Happy Hubby

A new toy, er.. necessity for the farm. 

Tea on the Front Porch

I love the view from the front porch of the farm house.

It is a great place to sit and sip tea on a cool day. 

The leaves are beginning to turn to announce Fall is officially here.  

Summer Fun at the Farm

It has been a busy summer for our family.

PJ came for a visit, and the boys had a blast at the farm,

including a little fishing in the front pond. 



Mowing Hay

Ducklings at the Farm

PJ enjoyed visiting with AJ's baby ducks. 

There is always something new and fun at the farm!

Where One Goes, They All Will Follow....

Angel Tree at the Farm

This is our first Christmas at the farm house. 

We decorated the Christmas tree with angel ornaments.

These special ornaments were collected trough out the years from craft fairs, church bazaars, as gifts and from travels.

Each one brings back memories of the gift-giver or places where they were purchased. 

Holidays at the Farm

We decorated for Christmas at the farm during Thanksgiving weekend.

Can you see the three deer?

Shhh... don't tell the local hunters!

Danish Visitors at the Farm

Recently we helped host a group of Danish gymnasts in Berea.

They performed at Berea College and presented workshops at two

local elementary schools and at Berea College.

On their final day in Berea, they chose to visit our farm for part of the afternoon.

I took only a few photos, but they enjoyed looking around and riding the four-wheeler and AJ's dirt bike.

This visit was part of an on-going folk dance and gymnastics exchange between Berea College and Denmark.

Over the years, we have hosted teenagers and adults, and we have visited Denmark on two occasions.

Our youngest daughter, Laurel, now 33, participated in the middle and high school folk dance group, therefore beginning our fun experiences with the exchange progream. 

Pleasant View Farm

The family agreed on a name for the farm.

Pleasant View Farm

Sunday Afternoon Fun

A new toy for AJ

GJ and KJ riding the four-wheeler

Time for KJ to learn to ride the mower (no blade, just fun)

And, a little fishing to round out the day.

Wow!  That's an 11 1/2 inch bass out of the pond.

The fun is catching the fish, no matter what size they are.

They are thrown back in the pond for the next time.

A Weekend of Fun!

AJ is "hauling" PJ around the farm for a Saturday of fun.

PJ is here without his mom and dad for the weekend, and yes, he is getting lots of attention from Grandma and Grandpa!
