It’s amazing how one’s life starts at one place and through the years, via twists, turns, highs, lows and things unknown, ends up someplace so distant from where it started. So here I am today totally enveloped by my love of being a farmer and the excitement of creating something new and meaningful. How lucky can I be. But wait it gets even better….we have an announcement to make, we, or should I say, Georgia, Dave and Gideon are expecting a baby (yes, a human baby)!!!!! What joy this brings to Ed and myself to be so lucky to have this extended family in our lives on a daily basis. The addition of youthfulness into our home makes us feel young and vibrant and adds meaning to our existence. We now have the opportunity to pass on to this child the love of family, how to be a good steward of the earth, the importance of growing and eating good and healthy foods and treating the creatures of the earth with the respect they are due. This gives me a sense of purpose and reason to keep on living. So this bundle of joy should make its grand arrival somewhere on or about May 1st, 2013.
Somewhere on or about June 1st we will also celebrate the opening of our wedding/event/celebration site. Dave and his crew have been busy excavating the site so it can accommodate a tent with the capacity for 200 guests, building magnicent stonewalls using stones from our property, building a road leading up to the site, creating a parking facility for the guests, cleaning out the pond and putting in a well that will feed the pond and its fountain, and creating a landscaping design that will evoke an ambiance of beauty and tranquility, all in our farm setting. Together with our team and chef d’cuisine Michel Baumann we will make this a day to remember. This also instills me with joy to think that I am instrumental in helping this couple start their new life together.
And let’s not forget our animal babies that will be born starting in the latter part of January when Sable, Midgey and Brownie are expecting kids. These babies always bring a big smile to my heart watching them romping and jumping for joy just to be alive.
Oh, the joys of being a farmer and it’s not even June…boy it’s fun to follow your dreams….Irene
