A New Chapter Begins!

Yesterday afternoon our long journey ended with our arrival at the farm.  There are no words to express how thankful we are to be home again after 8 1/2 adventurous years in California.  Here we are on the banks of Nettle Creek once again, where we belong...after Germany, after Baltimore, after Los Angeles...this farm keeps pulling us back.  I think we'll name it Home Again Farm.

One of the delightful things about the farm are the birds that share the space with us.  There is a family of great horned owls living here - a Mama and three fluffy juveniles that hang out in the trees and are totally unphased by our presence.  They don't look so big in this photo but believe me, they are BIG birds, especially the mama!  They are in a very tall tree which dwarfs them.  As soon as the trees leaf out, we won't be able to see them nearly as well.  

Kenji started right in giving us boxing training this morning.  He and Anne are going to whip us into shape.

We look forward to seeing how the story develops after this major twist in the plot of our lives!
