  πŸ¦’ A Safari-Themed Baby Shower at Timber Valley Farm Barn Rental There is something especially sweet about celebrating a new little life with family and friends. This safari-themed baby shower brought a playful jungle adventure into the timber-frame barn at Timber Valley Farm Barn Rental in Clear Spring, Maryland. A beautiful balloon giraffe, a friendly-looking lion, a standing giraffe, and natural green and neutral details created a fun setting for a very special day.

🦌 A Little Distraction at the Office

Image
  I was sitting in the office working on today's post when I looked outside and found these three visitors enjoying the yard. Sometimes, even on a busy workday at Timber Valley Farm Barn Rental, the farm has a way of reminding us to stop for a minute and look around. Three deer. A quiet afternoon. And a pretty good reason to take a break from the computer. 🌿 Just another little moment here at Timber Valley. Family Owned • Family Operated © Timber Valley Farm Barn Rental. All rights reserved.

πŸšͺ The Story Behind the Forgotten Gate to God's Cathedral

Image
                      πŸšͺ The Story Behind the Forgotten Gate to God's Cathedral Some stories take years to unfold. This one took more than 15. More than 15 years ago, a friend asked if we could store an old iron gate after selling his home. We agreed, tucked it away, and over the years I honestly forgot all about it. Then, just recently, I felt it belonged at the entrance to God's Cathedral. The only problem was that I didn't even know where the gate was anymore. As I searched around the farm, little pieces of the project began falling into place. I found the gate, discovered a piece of pipe that turned out to be exactly what I needed, and with the help of our grandnephew, Gage, we loaded everything into the Bobcat and headed for God's Cathedral. Our first thought was to install the gate at the wider entrance, but it simply didn't look right. So we carried it farther into the narrow passage between the towering moss-covered boulders...
