More excitement at Thistle Hill….

…but nothing to do with calving.  Grandson Church was graduated this weekend from Woodbury Forest high school.  (All the graduates lit up cigars at the end of the ceremony.)

Grandma Wooz managed not to go all blubbery and you know how grandmothers are about their first grandson!  We’ve been fortunate that Church, a Texan, chose to attend a high school in Virginia.  He’s not only great company, he’s a great help at the farm, spending holiday weekends and vacations with us.

This weekend we put him right to work spraying microbes on our pastures.  Unfortunately, we’ll lose him now to Dennison College in Ohio.  Someday, though, this farm will be his…and his sister’s.
