I had some special guests on the Hill this Sunday. Lolly and her family friend drove to Western Pa for the Mother Earth News Fair. I talked with them at the Fair, their Motel was only about 8 miles from my place. Sunday morning they drove over befor they headed for home. It was great to see her again. They drove pretty much straight to my place, I must give pretty good directions,
We sat and chatted for a bit and then I gave them the 50 cent tour. I gave Lolly some Babys Breath and let her see just how many rock I have up here on the hill. She gave me a big bag of milk weed pods, butterflys love them and I think they use them to lay their eggs. Then we went to the garden and they could see how soft the dirt was where I had double dug it and sifted out the rocks. She picked a few type of Heirloom tomatoes to save the seeds. We toured the orchard, blue berry patch , the upper field, the slope mine area, her friend stopped there, but Lolly got her moneys worth. She walked the path down to the pond, saw the spring in the middle of the path that I have been working on and took a look at one of my views. I get a nice view of the Chestnut Ridge from my place. Showed her the Farmall and the Alis-Chalmers, then we went back to their truck. It was nice to show her my place after talking about it here so much. She liked the stone wall and the butterfly garden. Here is a picture of the 2 of us sitting in the Butterfly Garden.
We talk to each other here on line, but it is nice to actually put a face with the person we all know so well from her posts. Stop back any time Lolly.
PS Her new shirt that she bought at the Fair says, Stop Bitching, Start a Revolution. Her friend Chuck bought one that said, 40 years of oil left, 5,000,000,000 years of sunlight left, Choose Wisely. I liked them both,
Never doubt that a small group of dedicated people can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
