if you haven’t been

The home was built by Col. Michael C. Dunn and was completed around 1810, making it the second oldest residence in Davidson County that is open to the public. It was built in the Federal style, or without the ornate front and back porches it has now. Michael Dunn’s son-in-law, Lee Shute, purchased the farm for $10,000 in 1846. Several years later, Lee sold the 346-acre property to his son, William Dickson Shute, for the sum of $5, as “a loving gift” to William and his new bride, Lavinia.

William and Lavinia renovated the home after the Civil War, changing the style from Federal to Italianate and adding the porches between 1876 and 1881. Also added at this time were the smokehouse, kitchen and three-tiered garden. Primary crops were sweet potatoes, corn, wheat and hay. Swine and cattle were raised, and flowers and apples from the gardens were sold. The farm prospered late in the 1800s.

William and Lavinia had four surviving adult daughters: Leila, Maggie, Venie and Kate. Kate married her husband, William Croft, at Grassmere in 1888 and had two daughters, Margaret, born in 1889, and Elise, born in 1894. William Croft moved his family to Cuba in 1902 for business, but Margaret and Elise returned to Grassmere every summer to stay with their grandfather and aunts. In 1931, Margaret and Elise returned to Grassmere and stayed until their deaths: Margaret in 1974, Elise in 1985.

In 1964, the Croft sisters entered into an agreement with the Children’s Museum of Nashville (now the Adventure Science Center). The agreement stated the museum would pay property taxes and assist with the upkeep of the home while the sisters lived the remainder of their lives at Grassmere. After their deaths, the museum would become owners of the property and buildings. The sisters placed one stipulation in their agreement with the museum – their property would be maintained as a “nature study center,” preserved to educate Nashvillians about animals and the environment.

but I’m almost caught up again.

Take a hot summer day, a cool International tractor, some fast Cartoon effects from After Effects, and we get a soft surreal ride on top, replete with sound, splash, blue sky sighin’, dragonflies cryin’

thanks … to Tennessee

I get a good zoom with my Canon but I think this is a call for special lenses.
A little stumble and bounce as I try to get a good angle

this calls for Warp Stablization CS5.5

this seems like it was made just for situations like this … a little bounce, a riding camera …
we’ll see

I think Harry visits mornings and evenings
