When I'm not working on projects for my customers, I'm renovating our 206-year-old farmhouse or working around our barnyard. We have horses and dogs, raise beef cattle, and plant a sizable amount of row crops. There's always something to do!
Here are a few scenes from around our farm. To see larger versions of the photos, click on each thumbnail.
