On the farm


On Saturday, we headed to Elmer, NJ for the annual Appel Farm Arts & Music festival.

This was our second time at the festival, and it was well worth the trip. Lots of great acts on the bill --- including a reunited Toad the Wet Sprocket, who were terrific, and a really loud and rocking Richard Thompson.

I'd forgotten that last year at this time, Samson was a really little guy. See for yourself:


In fact, last year at this time, he was still a few months away from walking. What a difference a year makes.

The photo at the top of the post and the one below are the only documented photos of Samson not in motion.

He and his buddy, Jacob, had a blast running all over the fields and just generally being crazy.

This last photo was taken toward the end of the day, hence Samson in his pajamas.

PJs and bare feet notwithstanding, when we let him out of the stroller, he was off like a shot.

I like his odds more and more these days for the summer season of church races.
