Here are Jeff and Valerie with their miniature horses. They've got eight of them.
With a chick-chick here, and a baa-baa there, and a neigh-neigh here, and arf-arf there, ... . They've also got chickens, goats, dogs, and a cat.
And, here's a shot of the farm that Jeff took earlier in the spring, I believe. They have 18 acres. Nice sheds and barns for the livestock and toys. But, the winters .... !#@$$@%
I played farmhand for an afternoon, driving the John Deere and mowing one of the pastures.
Before all this, though, we went to town to visit Jeff's Shop-Ko store, and to do our Wal-Mart (pardon the expression, Jeff) sort of provisioning at Shop-Ko. Then it was lunch downtown, not far from the county courthouse.
Saturday morning we we to Aberdeen's Arts in the Park arts and craft show. Susie went for high art: a plaque saying "I laughed so hard that tears ran down my legs." We all had deep-fried cheese curd -- very tasty.
Incidentally, folks from Aberdeen are known as Aberdonians.
The afternoon got even more gastronomic. Jeff deep-fried walleye for the first appetizer. Next were incredibly hot chile poppers prepared in Jeff and Valerie's smoker. The main-course ribs and pheasant were in the smoker all afternoon.
Final act was a gorgeous sunset.
Cheers,
Susie and Rob
