ReplyDeleteDebbie, I love the century farm celebrations. My sister and my sister-in-law both live on century farms. It is so incredible to me to think of what it would have been like for families to settle these farms in the late 1800's. It's great point of pride I think to keep these farms in families for 100 years or more.
ReplyDeletewow, that's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDeb: I love your entries about farm life. It is a life totally unlike mine and I seem to be captivated by it. The bass player in my son's band lives on a large farm here in Maryland and when I listen to his stories about things that happen ... the horses, the litters of puppies, the work, I love hearing these stories!
