1200 Miles Later....

You may have noticed no blog post yesterday...unusual for a Monday.

Sorry.

I was driving home from North Carolina yesterday.

We left on Friday morning for a visit with the only one of our kids 

who does not live nearby.

Ryan, Amanda's twin, lives in Charlotte, N. C.

This week is a big birthday week in our family,

and since we would otherwise miss Ryan on his birthday, we decided to drive down

and wish him a Happy Birthday in person.

While there, we paid a visit to our old neighbors from pre-farm days.

They, too, followed their hearts and built their dream farm in the South.

With the house...

on top of the barn (stable)!

And in that barn lives Roelof, a beautiful Friesian horse...

and Cubby, a charming ex-circus pony...

who serves as babysitter.

Cubby, Cub Scout, is just a little taller and longer than our Red...

and every bit as sweet!

Oh, the tales he could tell of his days in the Circus!

I am sure he is much happier spending his days grazing with his barn mate, however!

We had a wonderful weekend...enjoying the warmer temperatures of North Carolina

and the company of family and friends!

But as I always say...it's so good to be home!

PS...Happy March!  It's almost Spring!!
