Sleigh Ride

Family from Collinsville, Mississippi, came to Minnesota for a week visit.  We decided to bring them on a sleigh ride through the snow.  Here are some of the photographs of the sleigh ride.

Here comes the horses that will pull the sleigh!

Pete and Joe calmly stand while being hitched to the sleigh.

The draft horses are Percheron, although they look more like Shires.

Les Graham, the driver, talks to us during the sleigh ride.

We stopped during the sleigh ride for a group photograph.

Thinking Ahead to Spring

We've had so much snow to go along with the cold weather this season that even I am looking forward to Spring.  I've skimmed through some of the photographs from last spring time and posted them below to remind us of what is ahead.

This is how our lake looks in the early spring once the ice is gone.

The lake, at times, can become like a mirror.

Tulips are one of our early flowers to appear.  This is just after a brief spring shower.

In late spring last year we had an air show.

Then the grandchildren come to visit.  This is our youngest grandson.
