I took a few days off work this week to get some projects done around the farm and have some relaxing time too. Since all the kids were at school/preschool on Tuesday, Anna and I planned a nice long trail ride to explore more of our access to Pachaug State Forest. I have been studying the…

While Anna and the kids were in Sweden, I bought a new toy. I believe the comment when we pulled in the driveway was “Why is there a travel trailer parked in the yard?” That’s right, I bought a 29′ toy hauler without telling my wife. We got it because we are now spending more…
