6th Day of Christmas

On the sixth day of Christmas, Mama gave to us . . . a trip to Hanover, PA!  We met up with my dad and headed north to the hometown of our favorite Utz Potato Chips.  We ate a nice lunch at Dutch Country Restaurant, shopped a bit at Big Lots, and then headed a tad south of town for a quick visit to the Hanover Shoe Farms.  Anyone can visit the barns as they are open to the public during all daylight hours.  One of the handlers told us to come back in two weeks when the mamas we saw would start having their foals.  Since they have over three hundred mares, they start early!

On the way home, we were treated to some beautiful skies ~

glowing Harpers Ferry

Sunrise . . . Sunset

I hate these days when we see the sunrise on our way to school and work and then see the sun set on the way home . . . blahhhhhh. I want Spring back. But at least I get to see some of the best skies around.


Here's the sunrise on Harpers Ferry Road. This was taken the day before yesterday at the farm of Woodlawn Butchers . . . I can't remember the owner's name. It'll come to me later . . . Dave calls his daughter "Peaches" . . . or maybe it's "Cream" . . .
