Someone in a recent email called me a colony whore. And guess what? He was right! I just found out I will be spending the month of June at Hall Farm Center.
This is my summer of colonies.
I've heard so many good things about Hall Farm. The rooms are in a restored farmhouse. How cool is that?
Dinner is prepared by a chef, but the residents have to fix their own breakfast and lunch. I like that. Ham sandwiches, here I come!
This is the barn.
But I'm really looking forward to swimming in the spring-fed pond. I've never swam in a pond before. I hear the pond is full of frogs. Would it be wrong to use a frog as a luffa sponge?

Congrats again Eduardo. Pond swimming, now you'll be a full red-blooded American (for better or worse).
You ARE a colony whore! That said, Congratulations! Awesome. And Eduardo, one only swims in a spring-fed pond nekkid.

Holy moly, Eduardo! Congratulations! Can I come stand next to you in case some excess good fortune misses you by a few inches? :D

E, congrats. 2007 is the year of Eduardo.
Also, if you go swimming nekkid in the pond, watch out for snapping turtles. ;)
