Were did the summer go?

Here are some photos of stuff we did this summer around the farm and to the farm, there are photos of the wildlife we see daily - hummingbirds, wild turkeys, and deer.

We acquired chickens, finished the chicken coop,

played with the grandson and visited with friends and family,

and even went to Florida once for my parents 50th Anniversary.

Currently we are finishing our front porch roof. When that is done I will post the finished photos and then probably only post on Facebook. Enjoy!

An update.

Becky here!  We spent the weekend at the barn and I told mom I would post some updated pictures.  They have done so much work and it looks great!

The entry.  Not quite done (most projects follow this pattern out there, ha ha) but looking good and so much better than the mud that used to be there.

Look at all this grass!

Some outside shots of the barn.  I'm sure there's some before pictures on here somewhere.

The door to dad's workshop.

The garden has been their big project lately.  We are all enjoying the wonderful strawberries and there are so many other things planted!  In the distance you can see the chicken coop where we now have little chicks!

A country flower planter with the gorgeous grass in the backdrop.  I can't believe how dad has cleared the land!

And these are the christmas trees, yay!!  There are 100 of them and they will be moved and spread out when they get bigger.  It looks like it will be a while before we have a tree.

I didn't get any inside pictures, next time maybe.  But I did catch a picture of the great room downstairs.  You can't see the fireplace but you get the idea. What a fun room to relax in as a family and watch movies!

Sandy spent her day off in Chattanooga with Becky and Carson - Here we are having fun "driving" around the mall and going up and down the escalator!

New pictures.

I took these pictures when we were at mom and dads this weekend for Thanksgiving.  It's coming along!

The sights.

A few weeks ago when John, Carson and I were visiting my parents at the barn I got these shots.  We were sitting on the upstairs back porch and saw 2 deer and a hummingbird.  Mom is so proud that her hummingbird feeder works.
