We were at the farm last weekend after Emily’s return from FL. Â She was exhausted so we sent up an awning for her to sit under (and sleep). Â That was the idea anyhow. Â It turns out the wind was so bad that she ended up holding on to the thing so it wouldn’t blow away. Â Meanwhile, the kids and I scurried off to do other things.
Isaac and Abigail found the neighbor kids. Â Isaac borrowed a bike and the kids pedaled about 3-4 miles down the old dirt road. Â Someone had a phone to call a pickup truck to haul them back (the up-hill part). Â Abigail played in the mud mostly and made some serious mud-pies.
I have not yet seen the entirety of the property so I took off exploring.  I was hoping to find some morel mushrooms on my hunt for the property lines.  I know it’s prime mushroom season right now but I found not a single one.  I did find one edge of the property line though so that was cool.
In my hunt for stuff, I found a few interesting things…sort of an impromptu scavenger hunt. Â I love a good scavenger hunt. Â I also love peanut butter and waffles and pina coladas and getting caught in the rain…and the feel of the ocean and the taste of champagne…wait…sorry…channeling Jimmy Buffett (EDIT: Â apparently this song was actually done by Rupert Holmes though there are tons of references to JB too…) there for a second.
Anyhow, it turns out there are at least three small streams on the property. Â I am not sure whether they run all year but as I was walking, all I could hear was the sound of running water. Â No cars, no horns, no planes. Â It was magnificent. Â I walked several deer trails (which wandered past the water of course) and stepped in deer poop. Â It was magnificent. Â I saw the tiniest white and blue and purple flowers everywhere. Â The trees had pink and green tinges to them as spring appears to finally be taking hole. Â It was magnificent!
