Down on the farm again.

We arrived at the farm on September 20, spent a couple of nights and took our home back to Columbia for a bit more repair.  We hope to be able to get it soon but for now we are in the house.  Of course there are a few things to be done to spruce up the place while we wait.

Here is the sunrise that greeted us the first morning we awoke.  God is STILL in charge.

The walk in door to the garage was rotting at the bottom as well as the framing.  After cutting a couple inches off the bottom and several inches off of the framing, replacing the removed pieces and applying a fresh coat of paint it looks like a new one.

 

The basement door wasn't in as bad a shape but it did need scraping and a fresh coat of paint.

 

Of course, the lawn was 4 to 7 inches tall and needed a clip.  This little piece shown here is less than 1/4 of the overall lawn and we have mowed it twice since getting here.

A highlight of the past couple of weeks was being here at the right time for the Bunck reunion. Mother was a Bunck and they hold a reunion every year, we just usually are on project during October.  The couple seated is mother's brother and his wife.

 

For a short time one morning we had several thousand grackles in the yard.  They were on their way south, like we usually are at this time, to their winter home. 

The turkey vultures are still here for a while but they too will be heading to the Andes for the winter.  We don't want to go that far.  Our next project, if God approves, will be in Phoenix.  God bless you all and don't forget to leave a note.
