Willow Run

We've officially named our 22 acres of land...we're calling it "Willow Run." Here's a picture of the brand we've designed!



In other news, the County Fair is next week and we're preparing some entries! We'll be entering:

Amelia - Buff Orpington Hen
Laverne - Rhode Island Red Hen
Ginger - Mini Rex Rabbit
Applesauce
Apple Butter
Pickles
Apple Peel Jelly
Watermelon Rind Preserves
Peach Butter

Send some blue ribbon vibes our way!! My canned goods have to be entered Tuesday and the poultry and rabbits will be entered and judged on Wednesday night.

The Farm...

I know I've kept you on the edges of your seats about the land, but we did FINALLY close on it and it's all ours! We're just getting a chance to get out there and play a bit. Here are some photos of the farm...

This is the girls' favorite place on the land. They love to play under and on this old magical tree!


The front pond. This one's supposed to be very deep.


My pretty boy all saddled up and ready to ride...


I plan to make our own private campground between those two big trees you see in the center of this picture. Just behind them is the dam of the pond and a great shaded fishin' spot!


This is the pond at the back of the property. It's much larger, but more shallow than the front pond. We hear there are some great fish in there, though...hope to find out this weekend.
