For the next week, there will be no Clover.
No Giant Puppy.
No, not even any Mean Rooster.
This is so unbelievable that I can scarcely believe it myself as I type these words, but I am taking a vacation. I KNOW. Shocking. In fact, it’s so unbelievable that it would not be happening if not for the truly wonderful and generous gift of this trip from my cousin Brad, who is flying me and my dear little Morgan to Florida to visit with his family (whilst my menfolk stay home to go to football practice and work and take care of the farm). It’s a girls trip.
I am abandoning the farm, heading out of the holler, leaving on a jet plane. However, I would never leave you. I will be posting every day as usual, just, well, not about the usual topics.
In 2006, I took an amazing dream trip of a lifetime. I posted about the trip at the time, and maybe about five or six of you who actually frequented my blog back then in that misty, distant past will recall it. Most of you, however, will not have seen that series of posts as they are nigh on three years old and not indexed in my current archives. I will be republishing the entire series of posts from that magical trip, with photos remastered from the original files along with expanded content. It was incredible fun for me to take the trip again through this series of posts, and I hope you will enjoy it over the next several days, too, as you take the trip with me.
I will continue to post new content, reporting in from sunny Florida, every day on my Daily Farm Photo page, so be sure to keep up with our current trip there. (Every once in a while, someone tells me they have no idea what the Daily Farm Photo is. See the top of my sidebar? Where it says Daily Farm Photo? Click there. It’s not just a thumbnail photo in the sidebar. It’s an entire “sideblog” where I post a new photo from around the farm, with some small commentary, every day, and there is also a comments section.)
I’ll be back in a week with new farm stories. Till then, see you in Florida and….
….England!

I stayed home to finish (finally!!!) repairing the damage done to our house from last year’s Hurricane Ike. I got four 4-shelf barrister bookcases to house what’s left of our storm-damaged books.
For Kiddo, it’s been a rough year. She started middle school, then tthe storm. Then, eight months of chaos as everything, it seemed, was under construction.
Then, tragedy. Between her b-day in late April and Father’s Day, two of her friends died. Kids that we knew since she started kinder.
In December, there’s a big family wedding. She wants us to go. Hey, it’ll be fun!!! The groom knoows how to throw a wedding party. This will be his fourth.
