I inherited our family farm, but it was in danger of being sold. For reasons beyond my control, it has become run down. I hope to save it and restore it to it's former beauty and perfection.

Chimneys
It had been a cold rainy spring when I arrived in early May. None of the spring flowers I love were blooming yet. It remained cold and rainy, so I cleaned house. I was happy to be able to use the fireplace. A fire in the hearth is the feeling of home. I detailed the kitchen and dinning room. I'm no longer steady enough to use my chain saw, so I hired a crew to trim the ivy and cut brush. It was gratifying to get that done. The wheat looks good, but since the weather has become warmer and wetter, we may have to stop planting wheat. Wheat likes cold, dry weather. I'll be sorry because I like to see my wheat fields waving in a breeze. I've been getting black mold in the bedrooms, so had had my chimneys rebuilt. That should keep out moisture.
