An evening drive at CVF


Christa & Joycelynn return to drive Jack.

Flashback: Pool at the farm

The kids all learned to swim, but it was alot of work.
We filled it in many years ago.

Great to have a mother-daughter helping

Lots of things happen.

Looks like a good hay crop this year

Lots of red clover and trefoil.
Now to get it off without rain.

There are always things to fix on a farm

Great to have handy friends.
Thanks Chris.

Dorothy's bees are buzzing again.

Let's hope for a good honey crop.

Photographs of CVF as summer comes

 A weaned bawling heifer and a steer
 The horses don't know what to think.
 Despite all the rain, the gardens thrives.
And more Wood Ducks on the way.

Another trip to Countryside Harness

 Abner has a new hitch for his 6 girls.
I just had to give it a try.
 He had just finished a new marathon harness.
Above is the bridle.

Flashback: 32 years living at CVF

As you can see from this photo, nothing in life stays the same.
One must adapt to what comes along.
The trick is to identify the opportunities when they appear.

More horse birthdays at CVF

 On the 16th Jack turned 6. He sure has matured since he first arrived.
Laddie is 9 today. Hard to believe that he was born here at the farm.
We all seem to be getting older.
