This house was built in 1859!My neighbor is harvesting lettuce and parsley for me. Sheep, sheep and more sheep. No counting the sheep and no sleeping please. A bee gave me a kiss on my forehead for this photo.

nice blog. I grew up on a mixed farm in England and you aroused my fond memories of that simple life.Ive used a hoe for singling rows of young crops and my brothers and I competed to see who could complete a row the fastest .
