Family & the Fourth

The Fourth of July is always such a busy wonderful time at the farm, filled with family visits and lovely food.  This year, we were lucky to have not only Sister, Michael, Cutty & Nutmeg here, but also my brother Stephen, his wife Debbie and their son Brad.   A full house is always a happy house and that statement couldn't be any truer - we had a wonderful time together!     

Visits to Monticello, Appomattox and Bremo were sprinkled in with walks around the property, lots of pool time and just being together as a family.  We couldn't have asked for more.  (well, except for the extreme heat wave which had temps in the 100s!).  Stay tuned for a post on the food and recipes...

Below are just a few highlights from our celebration of our nation's independence!
