After months of drought we have rain !!! It's overflowed Mr. Frog's bowl and creeks are flowing over. Franklin spent the night with Walker last night at Tuckasegee and the river was up 20 ft at the place we call Paradise. The horse's pasture was beginning to flood so they had to move them and the electric fence in the pouring rain at dusk. They have battle scars this morning from the blackberry bushes in the pasture. My garden here was all but dying and now everything is looking skyward. I know Fay hit Florida hard but we in NC can't wait for the next hurricane to swing our way.
This is Walker's abode on the farm, tucked between several pastures. He'll be back home tomorrow or Friday. Franklin hauled his motorcycle back here today among other things like homemade wine from wild blackberries. The cabin was built in the 1800's and is pretty rustic and rough around the edges.
Still, they've done lots of work to it in the past year. The kitchen is NOT as cute as this photo makes it out to be but there are new IKEA cabinets and a new gas stove.
Ditto for the bathroom. You don't want to know what I found under the bathtub when I was sweeping the house!!! The floors give the feel of the "Fun House" at the fair but it's a perfect bachelor pad for a Fairview-raised boy and Walker is so happy to be back and have a place of his own as long as he's working for the farm. It'll help him save more money so he can buy a piece of land. We're thrilled to have him nearby and to have Cameron in Jake's old room - speaking of which - that room is SOOOO clean now. Photos of Jake's dorm soon. Just imagine a sardine can packed full of odds and ends. Now add two sardines. HE
loves it.
