On Saturday, we took a drive to the Neely Farm and the Thomson Neely House. It was a nice spring day and the weather was warm. The trees all had that fresh early spring green when the leaves have just sprouted. The air was fresh.
The Thomson Neely House was used for sick and convalescing soldiers during the revolutionary war. Alexander Hamilton and James Monroe were treated here. In December of 1776, the property became a staging ground for George Washington's troops when, on Christmas eve crossed the Delaware river to suprise and defeat the Hessian's in Trenton.
One of the highlights of the day, was watching some of the sheep have their annual shearing. RJ was really excited by this and gave each sheep a little pep-talk before it was their turn to be sheared.
