A Visit From My Sister

My sister arrived for a visit, and that included a cookout by the apple grove and a bit of silliness with the bug zapper paddle:

And of course it included saying hello to Remy, the miniature horse with the giant personality:

Remy is very lovable (and also mischievous):

Blue is sweet, but not as personable as Remy. He does like affection, though:

My sister visited the pigeons and held one of the birds which had been newly hatched only three weeks earlier, when she was here last:

And no visit is complete without taking the dogs out to some forest for a bit of fun:

We drove down to a town park on the St. Regis River and the dogs got to play in the water, something they've gotten quite used to this summer:

We humans stayed out of the water and just walked along the shady trail:

The trail was adjacent to the river so we could watch the dogs as they played:

It was hot, and Seamus knew just how to take care of that problem:

Fergus got a bit silly:

Daphne and Fergus got so wet I thought they may have been in trouble, but they were just playing. This park is little used and only 3 miles from home, a handy resource for a quick bit of recreation:
