Behind the scenes at the farm 2009!
Okay, here’s a look at our very, very, top-secret maze work!
We thought you might enjoy seeing just how crazy we really are about this whole maze stuff! Nobody in their right mind would work straight through these sticky, still, hot July days; cutting, painting, mowing, planting! It’s just crazy! To tell you the truth, we are crazy about our little farm and all of you great folks who come out to visit and keep in touch throughout the year. We love what we do and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Poor thing! Unsightly, but necessary for our makeover!
I know, I know — she looks terrible! This came about from scraping for an hour. Not so good for making good use of our Saturday, especially since we had NINE more to go……
Power washing paint off of the Cow Train
We made several feeble attempts at removing the paint from our “girls” — only to discover that it was way more difficult than we imagined it would be. After consulting with a “pro” (thanks Polansky’s Body Shop!); we learned a lot more about auto paint removal than we ever really wanted to know. Let’s just say this wasn’t our most favorite task this year.
10 of these, times 2! Long weekend....
Each cow’s face had to be handpainted, both sides for each of the ten cows. This picture is a rare peek at my (Toni) work area….there are permanent markers in the top drawer; our kids, staff, and others leave messages and doodle art all over the surface! I love this old desk….good times, good times.
Cow Train Makeover 2009
Now that’s a pretty cow!! Our Cow Train has been completely refurbished for 2009: new faces, paint, seats, all new seatbelts and tires. We can’t wait to pull you guys around for a ride!
