An Afternoon at Jones' Farm . . .

Last week we had a couple of days off from school so we called two of our favorite people, Ophie and Cybele from the "old" neighborhood and invited them up for our annual autumnal visit to Jones' Farm.  It was a beautiful day.  The chickens and roosters and other assorted farm animals were out basking in the sun.  Even Miss Fern, the GINORMOUS pig waddled out of the barn to enjoy the day.  This was only the second time she's been out when we've been there.  She wagged her tail when we spoke to her.  I had no idea pigs did that!!  Lol!!!  We had lunch in their new cafe and then climbed the stairs to the gift shop.  I honestly could go crazy in there but I left with only a small fall wreath for the dining room.  Oh, and apple cider donuts and homemade cookies!!!  My sons would not have been too happy with me if they knew I had been to Jones' Farm and not brought back some baked goodies.  : )

I have a busy weekend ahead.  Tomorrow night my honey and I are attending my cousin's wedding and Saturday I'll be donating my time to Hi Tor, our local animal shelter, to take photos of dogs in their Halloween costumes as part of a fundraiser for them.  I can't tell you how much I love to photograph these events!!!  : )

I know it's a day early but happy and safe weekend everyone!!  ~ Wendy 



P.S.  I forgot to mention that The Walking Dead returns on Sunday night!!!!!!!  I'm excited and scared all at the same time.  If you're a fan of the show you'll understand why!!!  Am I right Mrs. Sage and Spirit???

Some Tennessee Memories . . . On the Farm and in the Garden

Yes, I'm still sharing photos from our early July vacation down south.  These are a few from Tennessee when we visited Jim's friend and his family and all of their wonderful animals.  There are also a few from my mother and father in-laws' gardens and fruit trees.   We had such a wonderful time.  My brother in law just got engaged so I'm thinking we'll probably be visiting again sometime in the not-too-distant future.  : )

Happy Tuesday y'all!! ~ Wendy  xo

A Few More "Down on the Farm" Memories on a Wordless Wednesday . . .

Happy Wednesday!! ~ Wendy

Down on the Farm . . .

Last weekend we joined up with one of our favorite families and took a drive up north to Warwick, New York.  We spent the day at Och's Farm and Orchard.  It was a gorgeous fall day and due to the apple festival going on in town it wasn't crowded.  : )

Megan and Cybele.

My handsome son Brendan.

We skipped over the pumpkins this time around and instead went for the apples.  They were all so beautiful and it was so hard to pick just a bag full.  I have to admit we all ate a few while we picked them which made room for some extra.  They were cold and crisp and juicy and YUMMY!!!!

 

We were very impressed to see that somebody came with their own peeler!!!  LOL!!!!  Now that's what I call being prepared!!!!!  : )

This is my friend's nephew Barry from Holland.  He's been coming to stay with them for the last couple of summers and we just love him.  It was his first time apple picking and really loved it.  He ate three apples to prove it!!!  : )

I have more photos to share but the long awaited season premiere of The Walking Dead is coming on in just a few minutes and I'm in charge of putting together the chips and dip this time around.  We've been waiting since March for the show to come back on.  If someone had told me a few years ago that I'd be addicted to a zombie show I'd have laughed in their face!!!  : )


Many blessings ~ Wendy
