Some days end up entirely different from how you envisioned them.Yes, some times you just cannot see what lies around the next corner.Yesterday was that sort of day. It all started with a fabulous sunrise. I was so glad that I had my camera with me...
- The Saga Of Roy Boy

Home Again!
After 6 days in Kentucky, we are home again...
and so glad to be here!
We had a blast at the World Equestrian Games,
attending competitions in
Cross Country Eventing
Grand Prix Free-style Dressage
and Stadium Jumping.
We had a great time attending equine demonstrations of all kinds...
We had a chance to connect with old friends and new.
While we were gone, Hubbs held down the fort,
taking care of all the critters.
With the exception of one goat escape (5 goats),
the days went by without incident.
This morning I will get back to the usual chores,
and with camera in hand,
will bring you more Tails From the Farm!
So glad to be home!
PS....I love Kentucky! It is so much like Pennsylvania.
