15,000!

I checked our visitor counter this evening and it looks like somebody beat me to 15,000!

At the Farm...

June 7 2014 - We were invited to take a tour of family farm of some of our friends...

Being greeted by our tour guide who gingerly asked us to pay for admission ;)

Buster certainly made some new friends

Checking out the Brooder House

This photo has too many obvious caption possibilities, so I won't even post one.

Checking out the stalls and farm equipment

Talking about the sawmill

The logs are pushed out over these rollers after being cut

Exchanging stories

The tour continues!

Carefully...removing the lid to the hive and removing a frame.

Checking out the bee hives

Chickens inside of the "Chicken Tractor"

Wait...a "chicken tractor?"  Let Joel Salatin explain.

Lose those eyelashes!

Heading back to the house…where did our tour guide go?

What follows are random shots from around the farm:

Can you tell that [our] Ben is gross-motor movement dominant?

Is there any better way to end?

The Day of Death

Most of the time the only things that are posted on this blog are the highlights from our adventures, but today is a little bit different.

This EXCELLENT message was given by Matt Scheffer at the funeral of the grandfather of some of our friends.  It’s only 15 minutes long and it’d be well worth watching.

Photos of the Bros

June 1, 2014 – This photo was actually taken secretly this Sunday afternoon.  My Mom had to attend a wedding shower directly after church, so we drove home separately.  Color coordination like this is so rare, that I knew we had to take a photo and surprise her with it later that week.

She actually pulled in while we were taking the photo in the front yard, so we had to scramble to hide the camera and tripod and had to explain what we were doing outside with a quick cover story.
