off the farm for the day!

Baptist church, built in 1858

Methodist church, built in 1886. The little white building to the left of the church contains the outhouses, still in use!

Can not identify the birds, but loved their perch. You can see the bird in the nest if you look closely.

A farm girl in a really good climbing tree

A farm girl holding the little frog she found

The farmer and the three youngest farm children

Loved these geese!

View of the lovely Willamette Valley!
We went for a lovely drive yesterday. The farmer has always insisted that no work be done on Sunday, and for this I am so grateful. We really do need a day of rest, need to go to mass together, and need a day to spend together without the pressures and busyness of farm life!
