Summer in Virginia
 |
| Our Parking Spot for the moment |
We apologize that you haven't heard from us in a while. We've been super busy, but the main reason was because both of our computers died in the same week. So, it's been taking us some time to get back up and running. We're almost there.....I must say, it's nice to be back on the blog....even for a brief moment. We have a large land survey job that has just come up, so the next couple of weeks are going to be pretty hectic again.
We have been enjoying the summer here. I really missed these nice hot summers while I was in NY. And, I think it's been fairly mild so far which is nice. August is usually the hottest month, so I'm sure more hot weather awaits...Chad has been doing well with the heat, so that is good. I was a little concerned it might be too hot for him down here.
There's always much to do on a farm and this Spring/Summer this place has been a bee hive of activity. Last May, the dam broke on the pond and it has been getting repaired the past couple of months.

There have also been many other repairs to do. My dad has also been working on installing a bathroom into his barn, so the septic tanks were getting installed this past week.

And, we helped with getting up 220 hay bales when the field got cut.

We've also been doing some work on our vehicles. The heater core went out on our car last week, and Chad also did the body work that it needed to repair the hole in the bumper. And, this was in addition to our volunteer work. Never a dull moment....

My family has 8 outside cats as well....who we are grateful for because we really don't want any problems with mice. They're pretty funny and cute. Chad especially loves them.
