Just felt like being silly today.
One Step Forward…
(sigh) At least three steps back. Just when I’m lulled into thinking we’re making progress, the back corner of the barn roof collapsed when a large branch came crashin’ down. Plus the 100 lbs. of pine straw, dirt and ice on the metal roof probably didn’t help much. Barn roof repair: Item #1 on Mike’s To-Do List…Part 5. Oh, and did I mention the four big, dead pine trees near the barn that need to come down? Item #2.
Renovation=Patience
I’ve made peace with the fact that this farm renovation thing is going to take a long time. Especially when you have a modest budget and a handy husband who insists on doing most everything himself. But! The dining room is almost finished.
‘Bama Backroads
One of Mike’s favorite things to do is to take lots of different routes to the farm. Armed with a map and a Magellan, we’ve been exploring small towns all along the way. Last weekend we traveled through Piedmont (http://tiny.cc/sPN5K) and then got lost in Nances Creek, a darling place nestled up next to the Talledega National Forest, where we saw farm after farm against the backdrop of the Appalachian foothills. I got so excited I forgot to take pictures! But here are a few shots of DT Piedmont.
