Strawberry Festival

Today Eleanor and I went to the Strawberry Festival at our favorite public farm. We picked our own strawberries, well Eleanor ate as many as possible...caps and all. Then we said hello to the sheep, ducks, pigs, geese, chickens, and miniature horse named Reba. Eleanor got her finger pecked by a chicken, but didn't seem to mind. Today Reba was her favorite.

Virginia Visit

Eleanor and I will be visiting Virginia (via Charlotte) next month. For those of you that do not live in the Galax area and you are willing to make the trip, we would love to see you. I know that for some of you this would be a very long drive, but you are still welcome to visit. We are arriving on July 10th and departing early on July 17th.
Poor John will be by himself learning German, but Eleanor and I look forward to seeing everyone.

Endicott Park

Today we took Eleanor to Endicott park in Danvers. It wasn't a very nice day to be out, but we couldn't stand being inside all day. Eleanor got to see a "Goggie" (a goat), a quirrel (Squirrel)which she chased up a tree, and two "orsies" (horses). We also saw some gucks and geese.
