We were getting ready for a dinner meeting with some friends from TorC when Phil noticed people walking around the farm. Turns out, this was two of the four kids who grew up here between 1976 and 1991. The Watkins were in for the Hot Springs High School 80's reunion. Mr. Watkins was there and had some background for us about the farm. We learned that the Blue Carpet we pulled out in 2006 had been there when they moved in in 1976 (can you say ewww?)
We learned a bit about what was where and what their life was like. Gardens may be in different places and the pond may look bigger (must be that canoe nearby), but the people come back and can appreciate the land as we do.
The second owner was one of the people who came to dinner. He seemed to enjoy the reminicing about the place as well.
