The Rock Harvest

We arrived on the farm mid-day yesterday after a wonderful stay in Williamstown with the generous Whatley family to Martha's smiling face and a delicious lunch. Straight to work afterwords planting broccoli and peppers. The work went by quickly as we became acquainted with the other farm hands. The other intern, Mike, is a total baller. 

Dinner was a bit elaborate as it was Jeff's 53rd birthday. Faith, the youngest daughter, is quite the culinary expert. We can only hope that some of this rubs off on us. Supper was accompanied by stimulating conversation and mild celebration with the family. We find ourselves quite at home here. 

After christening our new home with our first slumber, 

we hit the fields and finished digging up the pepper rows.

The majority of the day was spent clearing rocks from the lower filed to prep for plowing. We prevailed.

In summary, things are good here; the work is hard and we are still adjusting to that, but the great company, weather, food, and beautiful surroundings are making it as easy and pleasant as possible.

Much love,
