Farm Girls Do It With Bailing Twine

annundrielThe subject of this post has pretty much nothing to do with anything actually in the post. Except for maybe the pictures of farm country. Other than that? Well, I imagine bailing twine would be quite painful if used for anything other than bailing. Although it did work reasonably well as string in bows when EB and I went through our Robin Hood phase...
During break, Dad and I drove up on the hill so I could take some pictures of our property. I was curious just how big it looked from farther away. I want to go up again in the summer when everything is green and pretty.
The houses are behind that line of trees (poplar). Yea, windbreaks! Our actually property begins at the far left hand side of that line of trees and continues to the right out of the picture. I had to take three just to get it all in there, but this one is the part we live on, even if each bit we've collected has houses.
All in all we farm about 630 acres and have about another 10 for living and things.
We made it to the highest part of the hill and, as cliched as it sounds, I did feel kind of like I was on top of the world. You could look all around you and see nothing but land going on and on.

First day of spring quarter classes today. Technically. Because I don't have classes on Mondays (hee!) I have spent the day doing nada mucho. Ate some Jelly Bellies. Read some fanfiction. Looked over this quarter's books. Tried to write.
Exciting times here in Seattle.
