Photos by Jock Gill

The kids and I took a long, rambling walk all over the farm yesterday with our neighbors Jock and Johanna. It was pretty fun. Jock is a great photographer and offered to take a family photo of us. The photo on our about us page is missing Henry, for one thing. The stars seemed to be aligned because not only had Peter shaved the night before but he also reached into the cab of the truck and pulled out a dress shirt to replace his very dirty work shirt. Anyway, I love the photo. Thank you Jock!!

The field behind it is a big new strip that we're planning to plant to crops that don't need much water, like winter squash, since it will be difficult to impossible to get water back there.

Speaking of water, we also showed Jock and Johanna the frog eggs we found the other day with Deirdre and Eliot, and the stream we use for irrigation (of which the frog egg puddle is an overflow elbow).
