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.

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!



The House is Finished

After 9 months of renovations, GJ, the hubby, declared the house is finished!

Hmm... is a house ever "finished"?

He is ready to move on to the barns, fences, gates, fields and more. 

And, he has a landscape plan for the front and back of the house. 

That man loves to play in dirt! 

The back of the house has a porch like the front. 

 

                            

More Improvements

Sidewalk, steps and porch rails have been replaced. 

Hopefully, the project will be completed this week with the addition

of rails down the front steps and a little more finish work.
