Last night was perfect at BDF...a cool, clear fall night, a big bon fire in the fire pit, a bottle of Merlot from Trillium Creek Winery, and all the dogs hangin on the patio, just chillin and enjoying the new season.
There are few things nicer than being within the grasp of Fall at Blackdog Farm...the early morning dew on the multitudes of spider webs, the dogs getting a thicker coat, the colors in the garden changing from vibrant fruit colors to the more subdued colors of fall...but the most important sign of Fall is......wait for it ......COUGAR FOOTBALL>>>GO COUGS!!!!!
On the 3rd of September we celebrated the life of my father....it was a great ceremony, and well attended. Thanks to all our friends, who seem more like family..for the support and words of encouragement durning a very difficult time....My Dad loved Blackdog Farm...so I am glad he had one last visit here before his death. That all said life does go on, its not the same, but on ...thank God for this place and its healing qualities...hard to be down when paradise abounds..
Steph and I moved to Black Dog Farm which is over 10 acres on the Key Peninsula(The Key Peninsula, west of Gig Harbor is a beautiful peninsula made up of 75 square miles at low tide and 65 at high tide and offers wonderful forested parks and scenic views as well as agricultural and maritime history) in rural Pierce County, Washington State in the fall of 2007. I work for the local fire dept. as a Firefighter-Paramedic. Steph is Sales Manager for a greenhouse in Blaine. We saw and fell in love with this place the very first time. It is truly the perfect fit for us and a dream come true..it feels like home.Here are pictures taken by the previous owners, not much has changed...http://nannernoo.blogspot.com/
