One of the perks of the new house is playing in the brook, which empties out into the tidal Machias River right across the road. It's especially nice this time of year when the smelt are running. Local legend dictates that the best time to smelt is on the evening of a full moon when the tide is almost high. We were fortunate enough to experience this phenomenon a few weeks back, and Jordan went down to the brook to test the theory. Score! We got a bucketful and had a tasty dinner the following evening:
Annabel really enjoyed the fried fish - tail and all. (Ugh!)
Now if we could only find a way to can them...
The final product (we hope!)
This is the story of our house and farm. Jordan and I designed the house, and Jordan (with the help of family and friends) is building it. It's a "green" house, which means that, wherever possible, the materials we use are natural, local and safe for the environment. Once the house is complete, we will keep you updated on the progress of the farm. We hope you enjoy watching our house, farm and family grow!
