Getting Our Farm Started
We bought our new house on 2 1/2 acres in July of 2004. Unfortunately we didn't take pictures of it before we got started working on it. These are the earliest pictures we have of it and they are during the third mowing and cleaning of the yard. We began planting trees and trying to clean things up a lot.
These first pictures are of the house itself.

The kids all work hard on the yard and they are a huge help to Dad.

This gives a rough idea of how tall and thick the weeds were. It took quite a while to get them all under control.
