The last two weeks have brought a little bit of a routine into our lives (It's a new experience for us). I have had days of 8 to 5 as has Lesley with all of her studying for the last part of her CPA test, which she took this past Thursday YEAH. We made a trip back to the farm last week to get our last load of stuff as well as take a small vacation. While we were there we reclaimed some wood from the old "Over Head Barn"
to construct some furniture out of, stay tuned to the blog for glimpses of our wood working ventures. The barn has had it rough lately because of a freak cloud burst that shifted it off of its peers and gave the whole structure a little push towards the ground. I don't know what the out come will be but we want to preserve, in one form or another, some of the resources used, i.e. wood, old nails, barbed wire etc. If many of you were at our wedding back in May you may recall that some movies were being filmed in the area. One in particular with Denzel Washington and, Forest Whittaker titled "the Great Debaters" was filmed on parts of the farm. Well the popularity of the historic structures and beautiful scenery has caught on and they are getting ready to film another film with the use of "Ida Bell's house"
They have striped the modern siding off of it to reveal the origanal clap board,
are reparing the
front porch and have built a stage behind, for what I can only guess. It is exciting to see so much going on at the old farm. Work has been going well, I keep myself busy with ArcGIS, mapping wetlands, and farmlands for conservation. I enjoy it.
Lesley starts her new job at the CPA firm on Monday and we move into our new place on Wednesday. It will be busy; you can read all about it very soon.
