A Farm-Free Summer Holiday

As much as I love living on a farm, it is nice to be able to take a vacation from goat escapades and chicken shenanigans every once and a while.  My parents' cottage is the perfect place to escape.  It is close enough that I can come down once a week to prepare our CSA baskets and check that the animals are treating our farm sitter Weston nicely.  Yet, it offers all the amenities of cottage life such as fishing, swimming, and marshmallow roasting (when there is not a burn ban on, of course).

We had a lovely time at the cottage - thank you Grandma for hosting us!  Also, thanks to Weston - our farm sitter extraordinare - everything and everyone at home was in tip top shape upon our return.   We were even privy to a lovely FB post by Weston's mom while we were away showing him loving on various members of our farm family.  Let's face it, if I am not there to spoil Charlie, the next best thing is to have a responsible and gentle Charlie sitter who will do it for me!  Thanks a million Weston - we appreciate it!
