Late May I had the pleasure of visiting a friend's home and garden nearby work.  Oh man, I don't often get house and garden envy, but did you see these pictures?!  Her garden is gorgeous, her newly renovated barn is awesome, and did you see the inside of her house? I know I took pictures of -- yeah, yeah-- mostly flowers in there, but whhhaatt??  Whose home looks like that?  Not mine!  It was better than what is shown in magazines: my mind was blown.  My host even graciously gave me greens from her raised bed garden, what a bonus!

And the views!!  Her property abuts a horse pasture.  Check out those guys!  In the shots above I got to watch these two horses run out -- one stops to graze, and the other follows swiftly behind.  The second guy takes a play-break to roll around on the grass.  He soon gets up and trots about his friend.  I could watch that all day.  What a view!

A great day and a great visit.  Lovely, lovely Maryland:  Horses and Hounds country.
