Harlinsdale Farm, Franklin TN








These are pictures from a horse farm near our house in Franklin. Joe and I would pack a picnic lunch and watch the horses. We were able to photograph the babies with their mothers. Too cute! You weren't supposed to feed or pet them...a hard rule to follow since some of them would come right up to the fence. The top picture is my favorite. We actually have that as our screensaver on our computer. I threw the last one in for a laugh...it reminds me of how I feel after a 12-hour shift at the hospital. Ha!


Steeplechase in Aiken





We were able to spend a day at one of the big events of Aiken...Steeplechase. I'd never been to any type of horseracing event and I didn't really know what to expect. I was happy to see they didn't use their whips on them -- that would have sure spoiled the fun. They also had people dressed up with their horse and buggies between the races.

Walking through Hitchcock Woods





These are just some pictures I snapped while on one of our nature walks through Hitchcock Woods. I'll leave it to my Master Gardener sister to tell me what they are. :)

Bluebirds in the making

Anticipation...
