Welcome, Jacoby

We are happy to congratulate Neely and Jason on the birth of their first child, Jacoby Parker Hart. We were able to talk to Jason, and by all accounts, everyone is doing well. Neely's sister Julie is there and sent out an announcement via e-mail soon after. And we know Andrew will be a proud and wonderful godfather.

Best wishes for a long, happy and healthy life, Jacoby!

Big changes

Hey everybody! It's far enough into 2010 that we should have all stopped writing 2009 on our checks, right? We know it has been a long time since our last post, and we apologize. Rest assured that it's not because we haven't been busy!

I'll let you in on the biggest news first: soon, our farm-related blogging will be at a different location. We've been selected as one of four new farms to partipate in Peaceful Valley Farm & Garden Supply's "Freshman Farmer" program. We'll be blogging, and posting pictures and video on their site. This is the third year of the program, and we are very excited to have been chosen! Our blog site will be http://www.freshmanfarmer.com/driftwood/. You can also find a link on Peaceful Valley's home page. We'll still post family and personal things here.

Other than that, we've been soaking up the rain, and enjoying the occasional hail storm:

Matt has been making leaps and bounds on the big greenhouse, and has added a wind/privacy screen on the northwest corner.



And we're still enjoying watching our resident great blue heron.
