Life in the Country


Poppa and Millie on the 'tractor'

Tonight Christopher and Joshua are catching the fourth baseball game of their cross-country journey. They're in Denver/Boulder with my brothers enjoying a Rockies vs. Nats game. So far they've visited PNC Park (home of the Pittsburgh Pirates), Progressive Field (Cleveland Indians) and Wrigley Field. Next up will be Chase Field (Arizona Diamondbacks) and potentially Angel Stadium (Los Angeles). Not too rough a trip, huh? All of this with our sweet dog Casey in tow. Lots of generous hospitality has been extended to these boys...thanks, friends/brothers/cousins.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, we are having quite a summer. We've been to a church chicken dinner (an annual event that I will be so sad to miss), visited lots of produce stands, made bi-weekly trips to the local hot-spot -- an ice cream stand called Jimmy Cone, and are eating grandma-grown tomatoes and sweet corn at every meal of the day except breakfast. It's a pretty great time to be out here in the farm country of Maryland. We're missing Christopher and Casey, but definitely making the best of this sweet time with Yammy and Poppa.
