do you have 'water' on your farm? kentucky has many, many miles of rivers, strams, creeks and lakes. we have a 'creek' running through our farm .. it is low (to empty) during the summertime and rushes wildly with the snow thaw and springtime rains. there are two man-built lakes in the woods near our home .. and we have wonderfully, large 'lakes' nearby. my honey hunk husband is used to 'sailing' the chesapeake bay and atlantic ocean .. soooo . .this was a 'step-down' for him in some ways ... (he does travel almost every morning to the lake to 'scull' .. his boat is about eleven inches wide and 26 feet long!) he did have to give up his big sailboat (but gave it to my 'first husband') .. and travels back east several times during the summer to go on sailing adventures with him! ahh yesssss .. a 'family affair'!!!
recently, we visited abraham lincoln's birthplace (just ten miles from our home) and his childhood home .. (ten miles in another direction) ... we walked along the autumn-leaf filled Knob Creek .. which was bare of water at this time of the year .. where a very young Abe Lincoln almost drowned and was saved by a childhood friend .. who remained his good friend all through Lincoln's life.
tell us about a source of 'water' you have on or near your farm! xo |
