Ride your bike to our farm

If you hop on the Silver Comet Trail in ATL and go west to hook up with the Chief Ladiga Trail in Alabama, you’ll be almost at our farm’s door in about 85 miles. Who’s up for a bike ride? http://epic.jsu.edu/clt/

RIP, Virginia Matthews

So it’s raining and I’m sitting here in Atlanta reading every story in the newspaper to pass the time. And I come across the obituary of Virginia Matthews, mainly because the title catches my eye: “Family’s 50-acre farm meant the world to Winder resident.” And I read every word of this story, too. Mrs. Matthews and her husband, Jack, bought their farm in the 1960s for $7000. It became her most treasured possession, a place that gave her and her family peace. Grandson Chris Griffith likened the family retreat to Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden,” in which the author sought a better understanding of society through quiet solitude in nature. Coincidentally, the newspaper notes, the farm is on Walden Road. Virginia Acree Matthews, 79, died Tuesday on her farm in Winder, Ga. Here’s her story for your own rainy day reading. Rest in peace, Virginia. http://tiny.cc/kRbR2

Lapses

A friend just told me she checks this blog every day. Yikes! That’s a lot of pressure for a blogger newbie. So for those of you who are kind enough to check in often, please forgive any lapses in posts. It probably means that A.) We’re workin’ really hard and just too busy to write; or, B.) I’m feeling rather uninspired at the moment. And isn’t it funny how sometimes A and B can often go together? Anyway, both these phases usually pass so please don’t go away. 🙂
