Eww... the ground peed on me!

Is the ground supposed to be doing this? Nari would sit just out of reach of the creeping water and.....



As it touched her body, I swear I could hear her say.............I say, who... has caused this unwarranted attack upon my person?? LOL


Edda was 2 years old May 30

Decided I had better get some new photos of Edda since she is for sale....and if you know anyone interested in an Icelandic, let them know.
Camera has been slowly dying, it really doesn't want to take action shots and does some weird things when I force it. But it turned out pretty neat anyway.

She is as tall as her mother who is 13.3 hands tall and she is still growing.


Even though her coat is super dirty, she shines through all of it.



Last two photos are her running with her Dam. Can see how much muscle she has running in the rolling pastures we have.






We have Peony's!

First Peony's we have had in 5 years and they are well worth the wait! And I put one of them in the hand blown glass vase I bought at Jamestown, VA.




Flowers always put a smile on my face.

What do you do when the Garden is over grown?


Get Sheep!
With everything I have to do, is all but impossible for me to do a Veggie garden this year. So I decided to toss two sheep in and let them have at it. At least it will get eaten down and not look so scruffy.

Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls

DH and DS at the first waterfall we visited. And yes, DS, if you make faces when I want to take photos, I am going to post them any way.

I don't know why we waited so long to visit the Gorge, it is a truly stunning place.

Multnomah Falls, really impressive but nearly impossible to get a good photo of it with my dying camera but I tried any way. If I remember correctly, it is 620ft.

This one is the Wahkeena Falls.


And the bottom of Multnomha Falls. We really enjoyed the drive, visited the Falls, enjoyed the beautiful landscape and saw the Bridge of the Gods, which was a lot smaller than we were expecting but still fun to see.


Edda in the evening ~

Decided to take some photos of Edda in the last rays of the sun yesterday. Love how the sun looks in her mane.


Is hard getting good photos of Edda, either she wants to be really close or is making a funny face. LOL


But I tried anyway. She is growing up to be such a beauty. She turned two years old on May 30th. Is hard to believe she is two already, time sure flies.

Bonneville Dam

We decided to go visit the Columbia River Gorge and visit the Bonneville Dam. And was able to drive on top of the Dam/Locks in one area, rather wild.

The shear amount of water coming out of the gates was impressive.

Impressive white water at the Dam. Enjoyed watching it as we ate lunch at a picnic bench.
Am saying the word impressive a lot, well,, because it was. ;O)


The fish hatchery at the Bonneville Dam. Pretty neat place.


Cute little cottage. Looks like both the Dam and the hatchery was built in the 1930's and had a wonderful feel to it.

Really cool weather vane.

The 450lb sturgeon, really big fish.
