Out on Honey Brook Farm :-)

Ssshhhhh!!! We don’t want to scare the deer!
Some of the Wilkes team woke up real early Thursday morning to go bow hunting on the land. 
Others came out later and as we drove up to the land I was encouraged by some other eager hunters in the car to drive as quietly as possible and to stop before I reach the top of the hill. 
Communication between those out on the property hunting and us in the car was made through walkie talkies. This was just the beginning of a great day!
We dropped off some at the land and picked up others and went and met with our builder. We are still in the paper stages but getting closer!!
We came back to the land and had a great picnic lunch. Hoping that maybe someone got a deer but, not this time.
It was such a beautiful day! The farmer who takes the hay off our property had just gathered the hay in bails. And there is nothing prettier than seeing a field of green grass and bails of hay sprinkled throughout it!
Daniel and Kenan checked on the bees. They are doing great. Dad did some finally mowing for the year. And the younger ones had a blast in the hay fields! 
It was a wonderfully relaxing and joyous day together!
Greetings team! We’re up here in the Northwoods of Michigan where its in the low to mid 30s with a very light snow falling.
Matthew & I had such a blast viewing the photos. Here were some of our comments, “Sweet! Wow! Woah! Very nice!” You all are doing a terrific job out there. Looks like the farm is being well prepared fr the winter. Thank you for filling in our gaps with such joy and thoroughness. We love you all!
A bright smile and Christ-like attitudes totally transform everyday activities!
Sounds like you had a lot of fun, in spite of the fruitless hunting! We always love to go hunting together, enjoying the quiet stillness of the woods and watching whatever wildlife we can see.
Hope you get something next time… have a good story ready for us next time we see you! 
I like the title of your farm! Never heard it before.
I’m glad you are able to keep it running while Josh and Matthew are in Focus.
