Hey, that must be really nice. I had an uncle growing up had land in Philipston, Mass., Growing up, had 360 acres, he used to farm some of it, but also had some fruit trees as well as a little lake front as well. We used to go up there once a year when I was a kid to help with the little ‘farm’ part, he had corn, green beans, squash, a bunch of other stuff, and I remember my aunt would cook these big breakfasts in her kitchen on a wood stove, and man, was she good. You would never believe all the stuff she could make all at once on that thing and make it look easy!

Only thing you had to get used to was watching out for the rattlesnakes, they were all over the place. I remember one year, was still pretty young, we had a bit of a blizzard while we were there, was late in the year, and took a road trip just for the heck of it (we lived in Jersey) and the snow from the house to the end of the long driveway was so high I couldn’t see over it. Neither could my uncle, so I felt a bit better about that…

Have yourself a great weekend as well, and enjoy all those fields and lawns!

I grew up in the country so I know exactly what you are talking about. Your uncles’ farm sounds like paradise. Rattlesnakes! yikes. We just had garter snakes and snapping turtles, now they hurt when they would bite. Awe I miss the country so much. It was wonderful to reminisce with you❤️
