"Auntie" Me and the girls.

Maa, Maa...Black Sheep...Have you any wool?...oh, and a horse?

One of Crystal's many sets of twins.
This bottle fed lamb was the sweetest little black sheep ever.
He would be the one that the song was created for, "Mary had a little lamb...It followed her to school one day..."
This little guy would follow anyone, anywhere.

Seanna and Ainzlee observing from their height advantage.
Melanie and the girls with one of the other bottle fed lambs.
The bigger you are the only option is to kneel if you want fed.
Sticking close to the safety of the Ewe.
Seanna loved that this black lamb would find her anywhere and suck on her finger in hopes of being fed.
Morgan hard at work shearing - amazing how quiet they are while they are being sheared.
Emma going for a ride!
Ainzlee and Seanna's turn! - Neither was as impressed as Emma.
Note the "cowboys" rounding up the sheep.
And of course the horse wanted some attention too.
There was three little girls that were quite willing to climb the fence and shower a little attention.

The Farm Girls' Welcome...

Even included a banner - made me feel like the Queen.
The three little cuties!
The cat family - can you tell which one is the dominant male?
A little love and attention for "Cinnamon".
Little Miss, contemplating her yard work?

My travelling buddies...

Miss Emily!
Miss Halle!

Sandboxes are beautiful...


...sandboxes are fine...if they get one hundred summer days...
they will play in it all the time!

We LOVE our "mini" deck table for little people...






A BIG thank you to Auntie "Yori" and Uncle "Gyen" for this table which is just our size.
Saturday afternoon, the two hatted cuties were devouring crackers ("Ei" calls them "cookies"), sausage and cheese...of course they both had to sit on the same side, as if there weren't three other sides!

Sand & Sunshine...


Super spring weather, just like a perfect summer day - drew the little people out to the new sandbox and time on the back deck.
Ahh...the days of sunscreen are back.
I LOVE that smell.
Here's "Blondie" and "Curious George".

"Yookat Auntie...I'm three!"





Happy Birthday Miss 'Lyssa...
With a hint of Tinkerbell and lots of the colour "puppo" the Birthday Girl was all smiles!

A Birds' Eye Vu

This was a neat looking neighbourhood leaving Minneapolis...
High in the sky...
Above it all... ok, not all of it, but a lot of it...
Descending into the 'Peg...

To Clarksville via Nashville...

On the drive north from Nashville to Clarksville - the rock is similar to Manitoulin Island!

Temporary residence, which was very nice and I quote...
"Hallooo, Wing8t Inn Claaarksvulle, thas is a' ____"
I LOVE their Tennesee accents!

This is a beautiful mural in downtown Clarksville across the street from Bennés Steakhouse where we enjoyed a delicious supper.

Franklin Street - Old Downtown Clarksville

Train trestle bridge beyond the Columbus River, along Riverside Drive - thought this might be of interest to a guy I used to live with :)

I know that this pretty purple pansy (these were blooming everywhere) would be of interest to a gal I used to live with :)

By the Avis sign is where we began at the Nashville International Airport, then west on 40, north on 155, past the Grand Ole Opry, etc (Carrie Underwood is going to be performing June 4th I think it was) and west on 24 on to Clarksville to 79.
