I haven't written in a while. Our lives here on the farm have been incredibly busy! I can't remember ever having a summer with so much to be done. BJ had to have major surgery on his right rotator cuff. It ended up being more damage than he thought but his surgeon, God bless him, did a fantastic job. He has been unable to do much of anything for three weeks and we have three more weeks before he can drive again. Before this surgery we had three projects to get done. The first, a garden, second, painting our livingroom and dining room. Third, making a space in our room for a recliner, for BJ to sleep in the first few nights after surgery. The garden ended up being very small but it taught me what I'm capable of doing by myself. The second, the painting, is almost complete. Just a few little things and we will be done, thanks to my daughters Maria, Ireland and Trinity. The space in our room is fantastic and the wheels are turning for how to modernize our room nex
