Our Visit to Farmington... to the Farm

Meeting the horses... there were 5 total. They were so sweet and gentle (I can say that because we did not ride any :). They LOVED my husband who is not a horsey person at all. He was charmed by them. Abby, the horse was besotted with our little girl... I think she must have smelled extra sweet.
Colby the fat cat (20lbs) - he's a lover.
A beautiful sprig of ? mini cotton?
Over yonder in the neighbor's spread.
Bo the rescued dog... he was sweet but still a little scared.
Yesterday we had a great time visiting a little town nestled in the hills of the Palouse. (Eastern WA). My husband's cousins live out in the country and we had the pleasure of getting out of dodge and soak up the beautiful countryside. Most of the day was spent meeting all the animals - mostly dogs, cats, horses and more barn cats. After visiting in the house for a while, we drove to a park while the cousins visited an elderly aunt and on to Moscow, ID for dinner. The winding country roads at dusk were beautiful and soon very dark without all the city lights. A great adventure for all of us:)
Happy Father's Day!

Candy Cane Horses

When I was little, we made candy cane horses -or perhaps someone gave them to us? They're just a faint memory now. After much googling and searching, I couldn't find a picture of what I remembered so, these little babies are what I came up with.
The little green fringy guys will be turned into fancy horses soon in my son's Kindergarten class. The kids will glue eyes, pom poms, jewels and sequins on them!
