Some recent pictures:
Two days ago after a family friend gave my son the WWII pith helmet he played with as a kid.

Some from Old Sturbridge Village:

The puppy is now significantly larger than our pug. Poor Stanny! He is Indy's favorite chew toy!

This is one of the chicks from OSV from the last post, but the picture was taken a few weeks ago.

Okay, I'm headed out to plant some of the plants I scored yesterday. The weather here is spectacular today! I wish you all could be having similar weather. It is sunny, in the low 70s and dry. I love it!

I think the one of your son in the hat with the puppy is the best one! So adorable!!!

Thank you. I wish I could get him from the backyard where he is "observing" some frogs in our little water garden. We need to be at the library at 2:00 and we're both filthy. I did get two perennials in the front garden before I realized how late it is already.

Boy that pup is growing fast! A good looking dog.

It would be really interesting to watch the oxen plowing. They had a horse/mule plowing event near us and we went to watch. That was really neat as well.

I have a friend who has a team of driving oxen and I saw him at the plowing event. I asked him why he wasn't out there and he said his oxen only know how to pull a wagon which is pretty light work. He said if he asked them to plow they would look at him like he was crazy!

Thanks! It's nice to hear from others that Indy is as handsome as we think he is!
I don't think the guys plowing had a lot of experience. The plow was bouncing all over the place and some of the rows were really wavy. Or maybe it's just that tough to do it that way. Who am I to judge?
