Things are really progressing. The farmer who rents our land plowed the fields yesterday. The ducks are getting their white down and the chickens are thriving.<\/p>\n
Our garden went through a dry spell, but there seems to be peas and greens coming up. The thunderstorm and rain last night should help. Of course, you know it rained because I watered the garden!<\/p>\n
We have lilac bushes and what looks like an old-fashioned rose hedge blooming. A crab apple and old apple trees in the fence rows are also bright with flowers.<\/p>\n
I was sent the house history by the former owner. I learned that in 1840 this property was one of the original land grants of Bunker Hill Township. The house was built in 1910 or so, block until 1\/2 way up and no insulation under siding. The upright stone in the front yard is a head stone for the first owner\u2019s beloved dog.<\/p>\n
Since the house was built, it has gone through many iterations. The previous owners restored it beautifully and we are thankful for all their care and attention.<\/p>\n
This month we\u2019re looking forward to getting sheep!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
