The past few days I've been going through all sorts of old photos. I've been looking for pictures of Snow, Daniel, Hannah, & Emmeli around the farm. We're now, officially, calling it a farm; and today, Ben was even driving around, plowing up gardens with a tractor. It was a little tractor, & a borrowed tractor, but a tractor none the less. So that was pretty exciting & it made the whole farm persona feel rather legit. But I won't talk too much about that now, because I already have a farm blog where I'm letting everyone know all about our herb farm adventures. So, once I dug up all those beautiful photos of the kids in the garden & in the trees & whatnot, I was really anxious to share them on the blog. See, the blog is two-fold. It's for random people who are interested in what's going on on the farm, but it's also for me. Of course I want to include those beautiful memories of our earliest days scratching in the dirt! But I just couldn't do it. About 5 min. after posting a sweet mini bio about Em, & after plastering her sweet face onto the interwebs, it occurred to me that that just wasn't happening. So I deleted it. I was going to do a little intro for everyone on the farm, but...well, now I'm not. For now, I'm just going to be redepositing this here for safekeeping. Anyway, this is what It looked like:
__________________________________________
A very good place to start...
"So my next few posts might be a little retro (retro here meaning- a couple of years old). We only bought this house six years ago, but six years is half your life when you're twelve. I never thought of it 'til just now, but Emmeli has spent half her life growing up on the farm. Well, it wasn't a farm in the beginning. We've gradually transformed this place from 'house with a very big yard' to herb farm with orchard, forest gardens, pond, bike trails, bridges, & bees. Emmeli is our youngest daughter. She's a barefoot girl with long blonde hair who sometimes stumbles right out to the garden in her jammies with a rake and shovel. She loves the pond with all it's frogs; she catches garter snakes with her bare hands; & she's looking florward to the day when we have animals. We're planning to put in a pasture, & hopefully someday get some sheep & possibly some goats. I'm hoping that we also get a guard donkey; & if we do, I'm going to name him Heimlich."
