Farm Livin'


Every night before Henry goes to sleep he and I spend some quality time together. We read poems, read lots of scriptures, but lately we've been dreaming about our future farm. I usually start listing off all the things we will have at our farm, including goats, chickens, rows of corn, a huge pumpkin patch (in which we will grow giant pumpkins that will be be big enough for him to fit inside of), etc. I've recently added that we're going to have grapes growing all over the fence surrounding our property and a few of each type of fruit tree so we can pick our own fruit every year. Henry gets so excited at the prospect that he can't even control his body. He starts wiggling and yelling and exclaiming his excitement as he's coming up with his own ideas, like dogs and cats, a giant patch of colored carrots (see hohlfoods.blogspot.com for a visual) and rows of beets and Brussels sprouts. lol.
I'm sure by the time he grows up on a farm he'll be sick of all the work, even if he loves the produce, but I wouldn't be surprised if he became a chef someday. He surely loves good food and animals too.

Hey- your little girl is such a happy face and beautiful. You all look happy. About sunjay- Sunjay has lost all his jobs and is really depressed and honestly takes a month to return calls if at all. He is in his same apartment. You know he loves to work, so the fact that he doesn't want to find another job is worrisome. phone number wise..try it again he doesn't pay his bill all the time and calls us from weird numbers all the time, hotel lobbies, resturant house phones etc. He explained he wanted to control who he had to talk to. So maybe stop by.
