1200 Miles Later....

You may have noticed no blog post yesterday...unusual for a Monday.

Sorry.

I was driving home from North Carolina yesterday.

We left on Friday morning for a visit with the only one of our kids

who does not live nearby.

Ryan, Amanda's twin, lives in Charlotte, N. C.

This week is a big birthday week in our family,

and since we would otherwise miss Ryan on his birthday, we decided to drive down

and wish him a Happy Birthday in person.

While there, we paid a visit to our old neighbors from pre-farm days.

They, too, followed their hearts and built their dream farm in the South.

With the house...

on top of the barn (stable)!

And in that barn lives Roelof, a beautiful Friesian horse...

and Cubby, a charming ex-circus pony...

who serves as babysitter.

Cubby, Cub Scout, is just a little taller and longer than our Red...

and every bit as sweet!

Oh, the tales he could tell of his days in the Circus!

I am sure he is much happier spending his days grazing with his barn mate, however!

We had a wonderful weekend...enjoying the warmer temperatures of North Carolina

and the company of family and friends!

But as I always say...it's so good to be home!

PS...Happy March! It's almost Spring!!

You would think that by taking such good care of your animals...spending countless hours each day providing for them...keeping their welfare in the forefront of all that you do.... that for the small fraction of time that you ask them to cooperate,they...
