More Farm Comments
The old house that Jim & Cliff are at is the original house on the property. It's over 100 yrs. old and they raised 8 kids in it. The main part is only the size of a small bedroom w/ a very small kiva fireplace in the corner. It'm sure they lived outside most of the time and must have done their cooking and summer sleeping outside. It was interesting.
Our Trip to The Farm
Saturday we drove 4 hours one way to Lavender Spring Ranch. It's near Ruidoso, NM and next to the Capitan Mtns. Jim's former boss from ACH, Cliff and his wife Bess own the ranch. It was a long drive, but the weather finally cleared up for a day and sunny w/ some clouds. Cliff farms many acres and has, corn, beans, black-eyed peas, raspberries, lavender, pumpkins, peppers, etc. The lavender is a big business for them. They sell lavender products, soap, lotions too in their little store on the ranch. I think the best thing we had was homemade lavender lemonade. Delicious! Jim had a raspberry sundae too. It's hard picking raspberries. They are so fragile. (not like the strawberries, Joy). We had to pack them lightly and keep in our ice chest for the ride home. One funny thing was their dog, Patches will chase all the geese into the pond when there's visitors. He did a real good job of keeping the geese away from us!! It was a fun day and the views at the ranch are amazing.
