I should add that to my farm reading list. With no TV out there, a nice book collection will be a necessity and I'd like some farm theme books.

You know, when I started this blog, I hoped it would become close to what it is now. It's not 100% there but I'm settling into a routine and other than the garden plans I had wished for that just didn't happen this season, everything is coming along nicely. It's a journey and the whole purpose was to share each little step, and sometimes missteps, along the way. <br /><br />I am glad we were able to help him. I didn't think about the fact that more often it's a business sponsoring something like that. He (she?) will definitely be updated here. I need to have a special day of the week for pig updates, ha. Pig Monday? Pig Tuesday?

I hope that if he is somehow sparked into doing something great in the agriculture business somehow, we can say we had a tiny tiny part in the nudge that direction, ha. <br /><br />Keep us posted too via your blog about the girl in the community, what an adventure that would be!!1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-57142195986727777442012-10-06T20:39:20.680-05:002012-10-06T20:39:20.680-05:00What a wonderful thing to do for "T" and...What a wonderful thing to do for "T" and his family.
