I'd love to be one of your guests this year, but have to get hubby to agree to it. (well heck, if he doesn't want to come, I can bring my tiny little mom and my tiny little sister with me - also bringing along some good food of course!) Wonderful thought. I'm only a few counties away, in Kanawha county, near the Lincoln county line in Tornado. I really hope to make it!

I was being shown the "old" world by a couple of locals. As the car zipped by and I saw that fella out in the pasture, I'd said "Whut the HELL is THAT?" before I could contain my North Carolina ignorance. It looked like a Texas longhorn crossed with a woolly mammoth! Why is it that the Hereford and the Angus have roots in Great Brittain, and they're here, but nobody imported Scottish cows to the USA? Maybe there are some. I've found Bison in NC pastures...but alas, no Scottish cows yet! The very first time I saw a Highland cow was in the Lake District of England.

Poor little thing. That is the reality of the farm, though, isn't it? You're just a little closer to the cycle of life than those of us in more urban environs, including the reality that some creatures just aren't able to make it. At least you tried to help.

Needless to say, your Grandmother Bread is FANTASTIC! Our family ate the whole loaf last night and this morning I made your Cinnamon Swirl Bread -- WONDERFUL!! My family comes from Waverly in West Virginia and I love visiting. I'm so glad I found your blog -- I can live on the farm through all your adventures and pictures. Thanks so much!

So sorry to hear about poor little Spraddle. I was thinking she may have been the reason for the one-legged chicken rumor, even though she had two. I can't help but wonder how many people will show up for your party in the fall - you may end up overwhelmed with guests! How many showed up last year? Did you write about it in your blog? If so, I missed it. I just started reading it about 6 or 7 months ago after I read one of your articles in the Charleston Daily Mail. You are a great writer and photographer, and also very funny. 52 is a lucky man, and your kids are lucky to have you as their mom! Keep up the good work, you make my day! :wave: Hi Suzanne!

They are big whiners when it comes to any work around the farm (or the house), one more so than the other. My daughter, though, is an excellent helper. Even a cheerful helper most of the time! She says, "Helping is the polite thing to do." I don't know what planet she came from, but I'm keeping her! Re 52, he better be off the market! If you see him on the market, smack him.

I have a hard enough time getting my 12 yo to keep her flip-flops in her room and empty soda cans in the trash. Is 52 off the market? I think my dear husband needs a good scare.
