Chip is rapidly becoming an old hand at using the farm's backhoe, but it's going to be a long day of digging to get these trenches finished for the new water lines. It'll be worth it though, to not have to worry about another busted pipe !

We posted a while back about how we obtained the seeds for the Orange Cosmos we planted . What we didn't mention is how much pollinating insects LOVE this plant - and here's the proof. This is the prettiest, happiest-looking Monarch butterfly we have ever seen!

Granny would sometimes find pretty native plants and then carefully transplant them to her backyard garden. This tall pink phlox (Phlox paniculata) we recently discovered might well be one of her treasures.

This beautiful old wallpaper remnant gives us an interesting hint of a story we'll never know, but it's heartwarming that it lives on in these little artifacts we keep finding in the farmhouse.

Every step of our renovation reveals some interesting new story about the origins of Granny and Papa's farmhouse !
