Windmill Pad At The Blue Sky Farm

All the time that I’ve knwn about the windmill that was going in at the Blue Sky Farm I thought it would be generating electricity.

It’s actually for water. Under the big manhole there is a well.

Blue Sky Farm Barn Raising Update 2/18/09, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

It looks to me like there was a change. If you look in the left of the frame in the picture above there is a square window. But in the pictures that were taken earlier it seems that it was framed out for a door in this location.

words and music ©2009 earl&arch

Another installment from Earl & Arch. This is a beautiful song that will tug on anyones emotions. Take the Wheel also will have a special meaning to all of us who have lost our father’s both at sea and on land. 

Look for Earl & Arch to be performing in Gloucester during the Fiesta live at various places playing all these wonderful songs. Exit 11 will be performing with them. I will keep you posted on the details.

Songs should be on line for sale in a few weeks.

Congrats to Jerry and Steve!

Blue Sky Farm Dock- It Doesn’t Suck

Not too many farms can boast this kind of acreage coinciding with a beautiful dock  that’s just a quick boat ride to the back side of Crane’s.

Look for part four of our interview from the dock at Blue Sky Farm at 2PM
