We had such a great time on our trip in October just the two of us.  And it sounds like Nolan had a fabulous time hanging with Grammy and Papa all weekend too.  We’re going to try to get away for 2 or 3 days more often- Nolan is such a joy and so all encompassing of our time and attention that we forget about connecting with each other sometimes!
Our last day we visited Tierra Vegetable farm- the land is probably about 10 acres and had rows upon rows of crops- it was so delightful to walk along looking at all the growing food- it would literally feed hundreds of people. Pretending it’s our farm…… There was heirloom indian style corn dried on the stalk and then ground into cornmeal, and popcorn style corn drying on the stalk……….. I saw an the blossom on an okra plant for the first time ever… Sunflowers- these heads were huge!

There was a lunch with roasted veggies straight from the farm, and lamb tacos- wow that lamb was good!  The even taking place was a “barn-warming” party- yep- we went to a barn warming party.  We really don’t belong in the city.
