Insect Eaters...

We are grateful for the creation of insect eaters.
I can't imagine what it would like with out them helping
At The Farm.

This N That

The spinach is almost ready to eat.
Dirt work is serious At The Farm
and requires a team.
The irises are beginning to bloom
and May apples are coming up in the woods.
The kitchen garden is doing great
thanks to all of Beverly's and Marcy's work.
Not much time for reflection At The Farm,
lots of work and rewards to reap.

Tonight There Was The Moon...

and then there was our star...Andrew.
Andrew was invited to audition with a band in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas.  The band decided he should play with them.  They performed three songs with Andrew as lead guitarist.  They rocked the house!!!

He played a blues number, Johnny Be Good and Back in Black.  The members were all very talented.  The lead vocalist was Melodie Clemmons but many members of the band also sang.  After Andrew's three songs, Doc, the drummer, said he had to rest. 

This was Andrew's first ever experience of playing with a band. Andrew is completely self-taught and three members of the band who have music degrees are interested in helping Andrew advance in his musical talents.A magazine reporter was also there, taking pictures and talking with Andrew and the band members.  It was almost more excitement then this old grandma could handle.
Mother and son,
Long time family friends and owners of the Gibson SG,
and the whole group, pleased as punch to witness the performance.

Gone Fishin'

Ki says, What's a fish?
Leg long catfish
caught on a six pound test line, a ultra light rod,
and a fishing lure.
Hanging for cleaning,
Andrew had to show off,
even if Papa caught it.
What's for supper, Grandpa?
