The Farm

I have the opportunity to work on the old Putnam farm in Leelanau, Michigan for the next couple of weeks. As I visited the farm last evening I was once again struck by the amazing beauty of the farm and the surrounding countryside. It might have been the first time when mowing grass was such a pleasure. Granted I was riding on a Cub Cadet with a 50"" cut, but the beauty of the orchards and the green hay fields, is amazing. For those friends who are not familiar with the farm, it has been in the family for over 100 years! It consist of cherry orchards, pear orchards, hay fields, and mature hardwood forrest. to be continued.......
