Lunchtime Walk...

Hope everyone is hanging in there - safe from the corona virus. Yesterday the VA governor issued a stay at home order, but travel for work, groceries,
etc., are allowed. I?m still working (social distancing) away from my day job in a makeshift office on the farm. Internet and laptop make it possible.

Couple days ago, I took a little farm walk and the link below is a short video of it.

Always nice to see green things grow. Sounds like some good intentions, may they come to pass. Jim

Thanks

Thanks - we are chipping away at it every year.

I?ve got a 10 acre that we are clearing it of autumn olives and will become a very nice dead flat hay field.

That is a very pleasant place and I can really now see where you are is something to appreciate, having spent a couple of days in VA a month ago. I like pondering over a place like you have been showing us, it is relaxing and times of the year like this are to be most thankful for. I always hope and pray I'll get to see many many more spring seasons, when the weather turns in late fall and it gets dark for so long.

I cannot resist the smell of hay crops, and within reason, filling orders in the hundreds, I never minded the work later in life, so much so I partnered up with a long time friend and farmer putting up all his hay and even baling my own to fill my order for our place. I wanted to work with him and these fields before the inevitable and was so glad I did, was a great time before he passed which ended a long era of farming here.

We have rolling hills and nice views, much of that has now grown houses, not all, and those untouched places are hidden treasures, more so if you have one of your own, like this one you have narrated for us ! I've got a high place, a ridge of mature trees, 11 acres worth, I can see all around for many miles and always enjoy walking to the small area where I can see the steeple of the 18th century Gilead Lutheran Church a few miles away. The sun shines on it late afternoon and it stands out nicely in the binoculars. Even in the cold, I'll go up there to sit and ponder for awhile.

Except for the trees, and deer that looks like my part of southern California. Stan
