On our recent ten day jaunt up the northern California coast we stopped to see the
Cris and Con Conclave Animal Farm.

We were greeted by the overseer, Annie, who licked our hands and asked to have her back rubbed!
She introduced us to all the chickens, but darn if I remember if this is Suzi or Lexi or Foxi or who!
Ask Cris, she'll tell you!
I love sitting out in Cris' beautiful back yard and catching up with her and Con. Getting to look at her art journals first hand is a real thrill. The art and color just pops off the pages!
It's like old friends just catching up from the day before ... well since we email each other often I guess that is really the case! But it's ever so nice in person!
Cris' green thumb shines back here too. The roses were in wild profusion and smelled and looked so beautiful.
It was a fun visit and we will be back before two shakes of a lambs tail ... at which time I hope we will get to see the lambs that were recently loaned to them to enjoy in a back field.
This photo is a little out of place, as it was taken the day BEFORE we left on our trip. This is our 8 yr old grand son, and he is building a birds nest for a school project. I wonder if any birds have called it home?
Meanwhile, back in Portland, Oregon, we went on a walk with little Allie and my son and DIL to this wonderful nature park where we spied some turtles swimming and sunning themselves on rocks in the water.
Allie Bel is the sweetest of all the animals, as she points out a turtle to her mom and dad!
We just loved every minute of this trip!
And can't wait to get back in the car and go again!
Happy Animal Wednesday!!!
