It's a beautiful day here at Lindenberry.

I have tried to get some of the pretty gardens even prettier this year. They are coming along nicely.

 

The veggie gardens grow well too.

 

It is quiet here.

Nice for a day or two, but then I miss 

my helper. 

Sheep counting is really important!

 

and all the grands.

Lucky for me one will be back this weekend. 

We will have so much fun.

One Papa, Four Boys and the Railroad

Cass, West Virginia

 An old saw mill company town and now home to a scenic railroad excursion.

Long on Papa Fritz's bucket list to do with some of the grandsons for a while now,

{and I am quite sure there will be a return trip with Tucker and his family some day}

discovered on our bike trip along the Greenbrier River Trail.

 

 

I do believe it was a successful outing!

My Kate and her family start their journey to their new home this weekend.

So happy for all the time we've had with them.

Safe travels my loves.

So Grows the Family

New baby boy is home with his family.

And ready for a life time of love.

Welcome to the world Griffin Michael.

Marme loves you so. 

A Sheep Over!

That Time of Year

Ummmm...Papa, that doesn't look like apple cider in your glass.

Hope your weekend was wonderful too.

Good Fences

....were made to be climbed.

Because that's what boys do.

When they are not making mud, 

I didn't know they knew how to turn on the hydrants.

or playing with animals,

I have the friendliest sheep.

or exploring their world on their own, using their imaginations and enjoying the bonds of brotherhood.

And making a Marme and Papa very happy.

Return of the Farm Helpers

Wading in the Shenandoah

Simple and good fun.

As it should be.
