Abe and Beth Stop by the Farm

We've had the good (great!) fortune of having so many visitors to the farm in the past couple of weeks. The latest were my friends Abe and Beth who I know from working to end the death penalty - they're national abolitionist superstars - and their son Issac. Beth is a Montana native and here for a family event. So we had the good pleasure of their visit before they head back home to the DC area.

We started where every farm tour with a kid in tow should: the big animals. We visited the horses and, when they wouldn't come all the way to the fence, we went in the pen to see them.

Beth's an old horse pro - she knew just what to do. That's the advantage of growing up on a farm - a natural calmness big animals that really could do some damage to you if they wanted to. Isaac inherited that gene too.

After giving lots of love to the equines, we checked out the chickens, ducks and the gardens.

After the brief tour, we headed "downtown" for dinner at the Wilsall Cafe. We thoroughly enjoyed beef care of Muddy Creek Ranch at the Cafe and then came back to the farm for a quick bite of brownie before the family had to head back to Bozeman for their early morning flights.

It was so great to have them visit and get all the latest gossip on the abolition movement. Thanks so much for coming out to see us!
