Another trip tp VA

Lou and I left last friday with the baby and my horse on tow and headed back down to VA. The plan was to drop off my horse at a friend's house for training, visit mom and pick up some of dad's tools. The horse trailer came in pretty handy. While we were at the farm I decided to ride around on the kabota and take some pictures. The farm is starting to turn green again with the warmer temps and all the flowers are coming out now.

Here is the garden in it's early stages. The only thing comig up right now is lettuce. But it will be filled pretty quickly with all kinds of veggies.

This is the gazeno that Mom bought for the farm. They are planning on doing a formal dedication to Dad on the 17th of May. Inside are benches and a table and chairs. It also has a ceiling fan.

You can see the deck and fence surrounding the gazebo here. One of the other farm colony residents, Bill built the deck himself. The posts will be cut off to look more tidy when it is finished. The fence keeps the dogs in the dog pack and out of the gazebo.This guy below belongs to the daughter of one of the other residents. I always like this fat boy because he's so cute. I have no clue what breed he is....but was thinking possibly a quarter horse mix of some type. I don't think he's ever missed a meal!This is one of the ladies who is expecting in their "maternity ward." They had a calf while we were down there. I think they probably have 8-10 more to go. This little pony is named "Wednesday." She is about 35 years old and one of the original ponies of the farm. I rode her when I was about 7 years old. She was in foal and she bucked me off and went running loose on the farm. I remember her being quite a bit bigger than she is. She actually stands only about as high as my hip. This is the view form the back door of the old farmhouse. You can see the hay barn on the left and Mom and Dad's hour up on the right.

This is the front of the farmhouse. Guests of redsidents can stay there for $7 per night.

This is Cheyenne. She belongs to another resident. The kids like to ride her around. She's a gaited pony.

Whew! All that exploring on the farm has Hannah all tuckered out!

I have a lot more pictures to share but they need to be downloaded off of my camera. Hannah is awake in the other room so I guess that's all I get to share today!
