    These are photos of fun/interesting things we saw this past weekend.

    These cuties live on the property where our cabin is. There is a pony too but it had wandered away when we were leaving so it lost out on a photo opportunity.

    This is a real, honest to goodness old time Five and Dime....complete with plastic toy dinosaurs, little green army men and all those other treasures that are memories of childhood.

    We were driving down an out of the way side road and saw this. It's one of the best pieces of garden junque I have seen in a long time. ;) The sign around it's neck says his name is Fred. What a coincidence, my garden's name if Fred.

    There are 7 cabins on the farm including the one we were in, this funky building is next to the one just up the road from us. Just found out that the building is a corn crib.

    The farm owner also has a flock of about 8 sheep, they wander the property bothering no one. As we were leaving yesterday we caught sight of the flock off in the distance but this one seemed to be on guard. He stared at us until we drove off, then went back to eating.

    Toni my eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw the first photograph. I had to look twics because, at first glance, I thought 'mum' had a set of antlers. :D

    I love Dooley's Five and Dime store, the garden junque called Fred and the corn crib. What interesting things you find when you're away from home. I hope you have more pictures to show us as I really enjoyed these ones.

    Absolutely marvelous pics, Toni. There was a bit of everything. I liked the looks of the corn crib...I liked it alot. One could almost guess it's function by looking at the fundament. This is a very interesting-looking stryucture, Toni.
    Thanks for the great pics...and judging from your pics and text a good time was had by all.
