During the Labor Day weekend recently, I went back 'home' and visited my grandparents. While not a farmer on a day to day basis, my Popaw has quite the garden spread at their place in the Panhandle, affectionally called The Farm (by most of us anyway!). Row upon row of black-eyed peas, zucchini, quays, and my personal favorite...okra (mmmm...pickled...fried...oh my!). While there, he picked lots of delicious, fresh veggies that I could bring back to the city. Some I pickled while there and others were put into the freezer for later.
My younger sister and I also spent some time with their donkeys and horse. Well...we fed them a huge bag of carrots and they devoured them in no time! Here are some pictures I took with my new camera.
And we can't forget these guys!

This is Star. She's the boss. Obviously.
Isn't she gorgeous?!
That's all for now! I have TONS more thanks to my handy dandy new Fuji F70EXR! It's a great long zoom camera with lots of cool features for a novice like me. I'll try and post some of my favorite pictures every so often!
