A Day in Pike County

Yesterday I traveled up to Pike County with my mother and brother from New York State to do some real estate work, winterize the farm house and see the beautiful country side. What a beautiful day…..what a beautiful County!

The picture below are from scenes at our farm. The lighting when I took the shots was so intense.

A Window View

I love this view through the window of our octagonal barn from the Dining Room of our farmhouse.  See pictures from a recent weekend when I entertained some friends for an overnight…HERE.

Osage Oranges

Osage Oranges are a fixture of farm living….at least in Pike County, MO.  It is interesting to read about them….click HERE.  I love the idea that they can repel spiders if placed under a bed.  They will slowly shrink and become the size of a golf ball. The chartreuse color is perfect. 

Beware…they have nasty thorns! I was clearing out a corral at our farm and decided to clip back an Osage Orange that was near a fence….it whipped back at me and I received several horrible scratches. Silly me to be doing farm work in shorts.
