Late Summer at the Farm

Last weekend we were up to the farm to visit Elaine's parents and other family for 4 days.  We traveled up a week ago Friday and returned home on Tuesday.  I hadn't posted any pictures before because since we got home I have been busy with escapades with my trach and ventilator

Here I am enjoying a relaxing time out on the deck. 

Then Elaine came out to have an afternoon rest on the deck.  We enjoyed visiting with Elaine's parents on the deck but did not get any pictures when they were out there.   In this picture in the background you can see Elaine's father out watching Phillip get the swather ready to go. 

Elaine's parents got us some produce from the garden to take with us when we went home.  In the picture you can see how tall the corn is in the background, and  the swiss chard beside mom is huge.   The meals we had while visiting there were amazing.   Elaine's mom is a great cook and all the food is fresh from the farm.   She made beef stew we had the first night we arrived that the whole meal with meat, potatoes and vegetables and milk were from that farm.  We had blueberries for dessert with cream from the farm.  We had the same on Sunday dinner with roast beef, potatoes and vegetables all from that farm. That was the story of our trip to the farm, eating and visiting, and then it was time for another lunch.
