Getting ready

Before Brian competes as a junior driver in the Oregon State Fair draft horse show this afternoon (more photos!), I want to share the best photo opportunity I had during my folks' visit. Last Monday evening I took Brian out to the Shire owner's farm to do some practice driving and Mom and Dad went along for the ride – literally. 😊

After Rick took a turn around the field in the training rig with Brian, both my parents took a turn. The smoke was thick (it's much better now) and the light was poor, but I love the photos I got of my dear ones. I'm thinking of making them into a memory book for Brian; he may be totally self-centered now, but someday I think these memories will be priceless to him.











Duane, the Shire owner, took his two-horse hitch for a drive around the pasture, too.


That's it for now (there may be another garden-centered post later) from . . .

Lovely pics of dear ones for sure! And what a handsome well behaved team. I wish I had a team of Fjords myself. A size I feel comfortable handling. :-) Have fun at fair. Hope the air is much improved and stays that way for it.

What great pictures! You can sure see the resemblance between you and your beautiful mother.

Theresa, I think you need a team of Haflingers – the same size and shape but prettier and more energetic, in my experience.

Yes, Mama Pea, I've heard that a lot and don't mind it one bit. I've always thought her prettier than me....
