Chiggerfest #4

In the hubbub of the weekend, it wasn't until Mr. Big Food and I were on our way to our fourth Chiggerfest* that we remembered. Three years ago this weekend we-- with the help of friends--  changed our lives for the bigger.

Max & Diana, Sam & Colleen helped move just the essentials.

Goodbye city life!

Hello country life!

We rented a tiny little house before we bought the Farm. When Mr. Big Food asked our landlord-- as a courtesy-- if he minded that we had guns in the house, our landlord looked at us funny and asked, "What?"

Mr. Big Food repeated himself and our landlord laughed and said, "Heck no! Everyone has guns out here. See that line of trees? Shoot in that direction."

And so we did. The balloons are targets.

Chiggers are nasty little mites. Nasty.
