In earlier American rural life, communities raised barns because many hands were required. These events occured in a social framework with a good deal of interdependence. Members of rural communities often shared family bonds going back generations. They traded with each other, worshipped with each other and celebrated with each other. Barn raisings were an integral part of life and socializing.
In our modern American life, communities don't mean nearly as much as they did back then. It is our family's goal to bring a sense of community back to our lives and those lives that touch ours.

Early Morning Visitors
Hubby took some photos from the dining room of this sweet family before he left for work this morning. So calm. So peaceful.
Okay, now I want to live in the middle of nowhere...that is seriously awesome. :)
