Farmer Henry returns with Lindsey!

Jay and Lindsey returned this weekend, spent the night in the guest house.  The plan was for Henry to sleep here, in the new sleeping bag we bought him.  He was sick during the day, however, so they wanted him with them, in case he got sick again, but we won't go into it!

He was as thrilled as before to come out here!   It's going to be something he remembers forever, I think, and it's so interesting to see that!  It's been so enjoyable with him!   On sunday, we took him back to Haworth Park, where he rode the train again, with Jay and Lindsey this time.  He also took his very first pony ride, wanted me to walk him around, and oh, he was loving it!  Was absolutely still and quiet, just taking it all in, and this is not typical Henry behavior! 

first horsie ride ever!
Lindsey really enjoyed the farm too, and I know Jay did, he kept suggesting to Lindsey that they get some chickens.  Apparently, Henry has been talking about it all week long, the animals, the "jungles" all around it, the dogs, and the eggs, how fun it is to collect them, and then to eat them.

I must say, as a city gal, I have never tasted anything as good as these eggs.  I generally get stomach aches if I eat eggs in the morning sometimes, but I've been eating one daily, and have no problems.   What does that tell you, sadly, I fear!

Later in the afternoon, we parted ways, and we drove to Dillon Beach, to see a friend from Leelanau whom I know from zumba.  It was about a 45 minute drive.  Dillon Beach is beautiful---very rustic, an old Norweigan fishing village, our friend said.   Quite remote.  As we drove in, the fog set in, and it was very dramatic.  Walked on the beach with Christina, then had to get back home to feed the charges.
