Sunday Drive

It was a lazy weekend here.  The days were overcast and we didn't feel energized to go far, but we got out for a nice drive through the countryside today.  We actually live out in the country and many of our neighbors are farmers.  The neighbors across the road from us raise goats and the farmer directly behind them raises cattle and a variety of field crops.  A short drive down the road you'll find the local fruit and vegetable farmer who has extensive apple and peach orchards.  We made a stop at his produce market today where I purchased some fresh spinach which I'll saute with garlic and onion to go along with tonight's dinner.

We always love to see the new spring foals.  The little guy in the photo above was sticking right close to his Mom as she grazed in the field of buttercups.

The mare above was so hungry for attention and quite a photo bug ~ loved to pose for the camera!  I was worried she would hurt herself on the barb wire fence when she poked her nose through to be pet, but after she was done getting patted she used the wire fence as a scratching post.



After arriving back home, I took this photograph of the pot of pansies I planted earlier this spring.  Behind it are my perennial herbs that returned with a flourish this year.

A "photo shoot" wouldn't be complete without snapping a picture of my favorite focus of attention :)
