(November 1998) The old homestead is still coming back to life one nail at a time. We've finished with the wrap around porches and screen room from now, have gotten all the electricity run, Heat&Air ducts in place, insulation hung, and now we're taking a deep breath, focusing our vision, and am about to begin the interior walls..... We spent this Sunday just relaxing and enjoying the moments. There are six new yearling colts that are in halter training. We spent the first part of the day with them down at the barn just observing, being quiet and still, communicating without voice or movement. By the time we left to go make some dinner, these wild animals were following us around the barn and letting us rub and touch them. We had a "mouth dancing" dinner fresh from the garden ...potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, cornbread, and onion greens. And if that wasn't enough to make any man rich.... we followed our country dinner with some homegrown mulberry cobbler. I picked my guitar for a bit while the mulberries settled and then we decided to take a hike around the ridge. Under a big Birch tree we sat and listened to the wind, watched the clouds, and inhaled the fresh, sweet smell of autumn. When the sun was only a shadow of pink in the sky, we made our way back to our old farmhouse and sat in the porch swing. I am so lucky to have lived this day in my life. With no words needed for expression, I looked at Sharon and she looked back into me.....
