Sweet spirited, beautiful (inside and out), intelligent, and animal lover are just a few words to describe our oldest daughter, Evelyn Reilly.  Around the farm, she is a hard worker, helps collect eggs, nurture and care for any injured animals (including a wild turkey), as well as digging in the dirt – planting and playing.  Evelyn also loves music as well as poetry and enjoys writing or choosing a poem to be included in our monthly newsletter. On Sunday, March 31^st, Evelyn will be turning 10 years old!
