I decided to "move" our blog to a different site. I like Blogger very much, but found a site called Homesteadblogger.com, and decided that it "fits" better.
So-- come and read our continued story here http://www.homesteadblogger.com/thedowneys/ and don't forget to bookmark the new site and come back OFTEN

Company and catching up!
We had company last weekend. A couple friends came to visit and brought Shawn's son G. along. It was the first visit to our new home for all of them.
I had to work 3 shifts while they were here, so I missed most of the visit, but still had fun, despite the rain and black flies. I know that G. had fun, and hope the grown ups did too!
Since I haven't done a lot of exploring on my own here yet, I got one of the adults as well as G. to go along on a ride with me, and we found the deer farm that I'd heard about about 15 miles away. The rain lifted long enough for us to get to see them up close and personal for quite a long time. I think we were lucky-- it was warm, the rain stopped, and the wind was blowing, so we had bug free viewing time, and the deer were right near the road. It was gorgeous!
G. and I walked around the property later and talked about the gardens and what we would be growing, and how much fun we'll have when he comes up for a longer visit once school is over. He even tried some of the rhubarb and asparagus we've got growing in the yard. I'm bound and determined we'll get him eating well this summer :)
