A TED WIGHT BLOG
Spring has finally arrived! I love this ornamental peach tree at our farm and the way that it plays off of the color of the barn. Recenly I discovered that this kind of peach tree is not really the kind that you buy if you want to eat the peaches, though I have eaten them and they are good.
I went out to my farm in Pike County to show some property. It was a gorgeous day to drive in the country. This time the Purple Dead Nettle makes a brief appearance and dies down pretty quickly when the warm weather comes in. Check out this Overview of this plant….it is edible!
And here are some pics with the Hipsotmatic Ap
Nestled on 21 acres this simply amazing custom built estate will become your home away from home…Your own personal retreat.

Check out this old picture of Falicon that I just found in the book- Missouri's Contribution to American Architecture 1927. the home of Edward C. Dameron. Built in 1897 by Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge and John Lawrence Mauran. Mr. Dameron is rumored to be the one who invented the train car coupler.
