These beautiful and patient animals spent the day pulling a wagon full of familes who were enjoying the cool and sunshiny fall weather at a vineyard and restaurant where we enjoyed a wonderful pasta meal while watching the parents and children having fun.

A Last Ride Before School Starts...
The Camera Saga drags on! I am digging into my archives now: the repair shop admits that they cannot find the problem with my camera and it must be shipped off to Canon, which I should have done in the first place. Unfortunately they have not seen this particular problem before (nothing wrong with the lens!) and after consulting online with others, the shop is stumped. I might have to buy another, but hope not. I save my $ to travel, and Mr. Canon suits my needs just fine. Keeping my fingers crossed. 
There's something about horses that really appeals to me. For some reason, my husband loves the top photo. Can't imagine why because the rear end of one of them sort of spoils it for me. Nonetheless, I like both photos.
A decade or two ago there were many riding stables close to St. Paul, but now they are fewer in number. We were lucky enough to find Davenport Stables in an area that is about 50 minutes from our home. The stable is well-maintained with plenty of land for all the horses.
What child doesn't love horses? Tuesday was a red letter day because Olivia got to trot her horse!!
