Greenhouse people
The Peacham Historical Association put on a wicked fun Groundhog Day Dinner last night.
Though it seemed odd to me at first, it is very socially appropriate at town events to ask new acquaintances where they live. In fact, people often offer up that piece of information. Oh I live in South Peacham, the house with the big wraparound porch, across the street from where the Johnsons used to live.
Anyway, used to be that when we explained to folks where we lived they'd often say, oh, you live in the old Shaw place. That's why we named the farm Old Shaw.
Now we more often get identified as the people putting up the new greenhouse. As in, oh, yours is the place with the new greenhouse. How big is that thing anyway?
