The Happenings of late

On Friday for the play group we went to a farm very near where we live. It was awesome and made me a little homesick for the country. It has been a long time since i lived anywhere near where cows live or where houses are more than an 1 acre apart. The farm is about 250 acres and incredibly beautiful. They had a little petting zoo......not too many animals but enough for the kids to enjoy. and then we went on a hay ride and fed the HUGE Angus Cows. I don't know that i have ever seen such large cows before. the ones where i grew up weren't near as big. we asked and they are about 1200 lbs each. ya that isn't a type 1200 pounds. one of them was trying to get an ear of corn from one of the moms in our group and the cows put it's head on her lap. she said it was super heavy. We then went through the corn maze which was a ton of fun. it was pretty intense and we almost got lost. we felt like we were going in circles. The weather was around 40 and freezing and there were some mud puddles so fo course the boys were all dirty by the time we got done. But that is the price for fun!.. The pumpkin patch at the end of the corn maze with my nephew.
in front of the corn maze. Lars is keeping warm in the wrap. but i am freezing. I dont' know what i was thinking wearing a light jacket when it is 40 degrees outside.

Lars on the hay ride. He was getting a bit fussy at this point. and trying to keep warm. I had my jacket wrapped around him to keep him warmer on the hay ride

and yes this is no joke.........they were this close to us. and if they stuck out their tongue i had to move to not get licked

us in front of the goats and sheep. we got to feed them and pet them.

A couple of years ago we went to the MOMA and saw the coolest clock (sold for about $300) so i decided to create our own. It follows the traditional clock but is quite contemporary as a finished product. We love it.
