Welcome Back

I'm gonna give blogspot another try after a failed attempt a couple of years ago. My last post on another page was back in April of '07 and boy has alot changed since. Jorge's new job and all that entails and of course the addition of little Miss AnnaBelle Farrar to the gang. Our family feels complete. Nathan will be 4 in November and is a great big brother to his baby sis'. Ellie is Queen of the Hill, still and has been the Great Protector to the children even on these hot summer days.

Little rain this afternoon left the garden still begging for more. We rec'd a quarter of an inch and believe me i'll take anything i can get out there, but we will be replanting snaps and butterbeans and utilizing the well in between the smokehouse and root cellar.

I should let you know that we live on a good size farm in Virginia 400 acres of land with a good portion of that farmed. This year we have planted corn, soybeans, cotton, and peanuts. A local farmer rents the land. We have restored an 1846 Federal style home since moving in May of 2000. You can read more about the last 3 years at:
