Plumb Wore Out

All froggies, great and small

From having fun. I got up early and milked with the boss so he could get a little rest yesterday. Long day for him Saturday selling at the auction.

A couple of young Amishmen with really HOT horses!
 Liz says the front one is a saddlebred and the back one  a Morgan. Those boys were leaning right back on the handholds on the reins keeping them from flying! Gave me cold chills to see them

Then our boy, who ran home (from Virginia) for a few hours invited me to go out to breakfast. What a time we had. Stopped to see the family too. Brought home some gold fish and hop roots, which I must get planted promptly.

Soon as we got home the boss wanted to make our annual pilgrimage to Fiery Hill where his mother grew up.

Not much left of the old farm now, but it is good to go there. He is trying to keep the memories of where the fields and woods were, even though he wasn't born yet when his grandpa died. 

On the way home we stopped and visited the kids and their horses and stayed a few minutes at Jade's grandparents' house. We saw lots of amazingly cool stuff. Everybody we visited had spectacular birds around their yards plus about fifteen frogs in Matt and Lisa's garden pond.

By the end of night chores I was ready for a nap. Not used to all that running around!
