See how they've grown!

Wow! They've really grow tons. This was taken about nine days ago and they are even bigger now. As you can see: Bossy Britches (the one in the middle) is really a Bossy Boy. Oh well...

Pink Lady Slippers

Earlier this May, we found a small patch of Pink Lady Slippers growing in the woods, near one of our paths. It's a reall treat to actually see these plants growing in the wild. Until now, I had only seen pictures and read about them. It's good to know we have some growing here on the farm - especially since they are rare and in some areas, endangered. We marked the ones that were growing in the path with small flags, so we would avoid stepping on them when they finish blooming.

Night at the Drive-In

Just down the road from us, a local diner has opened up a Drive-In Theater in the front field

Here's Steve and the girls as we got set up to watch the movie at the Drive-in last night. Everyone was excited: I was the only one who had been to one before.

Here's the screen and some of the other early crowd. There was a swing set down near the front for the smaller kids. Lots of folks came early, set up, and got supper at the diner that sits just at the top of the hill, in the far back.

We enjoyed hanging out, and Becca saw some kids she went school with last year. By the time it got dark, the lot was pretty full.

The sound was sent over the radio, so next time I think we will bring a boom box to help with the volumn. We used the radio in the cab last night, and it worked fine once we turned it up.

The evening was gorgeous and clear skyed. The air had just a hint of summer chill, once the dew fell, and we had, all in all, a grand time.
