Up The Driveway And Down The Highway
Yes, it's true. Joe is dragging me away for a few days of road trip fun. Not to worry, my mother (who has five whole days of previous farmsitting experience) and her beau (who has no farmsitting experience but is very brave) will be keeping watch over everything while we are gone. We have left them with pages of detailed instructions, several emergency phone numbers, about 20 pounds of very ripe heirloom tomatoes sitting on the kitchen counter, five freezers full of food, and a nice long list of farm projects from which they can pick and choose.
As for Farmgirl Fare, my mother has my blogger password, and Whitey has promised to help her post some daily photos, because I know some of you need your daily farm fix. (I just might have to find a computer somewhere and get one myself!) So the farm will be here, but I will not be responding to comments.
And even if you can survive for the next few days without us, you should still stop by for a visit so you can enter The Exciting Contest that will be going on while I am gone. Details coming soon!
Note: My mother has declared that not only is she not an early riser, but that she is also still on California time. So if you thought this morning's photo was posted late. . .
Have a great vacation. You can take some pictures and do a little away from the farm post when you get back!!

Dear "Mrs FarmGirlMum"
ReplyDeleteHow much do i need to pay you for the blogger password.
I could send cookies.
And I am fairly competent at surprise food parcels.

ReplyDeleteAnd, Sam, don't be so sneaky! You're packages are very hard to resist. We're not trying to bribe Fred into getting your password out of you!
I do so look forward to your return Susan. Have a safe and fun eventful trip!

ReplyDeleteI'm going away, too (to visit friends in Tuscaloosa), but I'm leaving the s.o. to do the work. :-)
