maggie's farm

We took a trip up to Aunt Maggie's house over Thanksgiving. She lives quite in the middle of nowhere...and it took five hours of driving there and back to make the trip...but it was definitely worth it! She had pizza and fresh baked cookies waiting for us when we got there...and a yard full of nature for us to explore.

Her new pets are some chickens, a rooster, and a turkey. This is Turkey Lurkey, and he is beautiful...


...and thankfully, he will NOT be eaten.


Diego, my outdoorsman.


He is quite a lover of nature...I did keep imagining him wandering off through the woods, though, and getting lost.


Maggie took us to look for deer tracks, but we didn't have any luck.


She's got some great yard decorations...including this weather vane...


...and a nice door for a fairy or nome.


I LOVE LOVE LOVE her porch. Actually, my own is quite similar, but hers has a beautiful wooden ceiling and feels much more solid than mine.


The chickens finally got brave enough to come out of their pen...I think they thought the kids would chase them. (So did I.) They have great names, too....Henny Penny, Chicken Little...I can't remember them all...Maggie help me out.


But when we got too close, they took off following the rooster in a little line. It was very cute.


Love pics holding hands!


Diego had a little problem with this tree...


...it was making faces at him.


And here we are saying good bye just before heading home....laughing all the way!! Thanks for a great time Maggie!!
