So far, we have been taking all of the pictures for our blog with the iPhone camera, which has actually done admirably well.  This is largely due to the fact that our slightly nicer camera has been out of commission – the cord we needed to upload pictures from the camera to the computer has been missing for quite a while….

…and by a while, I mean since September.

We finally got a card reader and released the pictures that have been hostage on our nice camera.  We found fun pictures from a  horse race in the fall (woohoo, Fall Foxfield!) and a few of the house that have been waiting to be unlocked.  Here are a few of the better ones:

Afton really wants to make friends with the mama cows and their calves, which were also in our front yard for a while.

But she’s like the 7 year-old boy who flirts by leaving a slug on your desk or punching you in the arm – more annoying than endearing:

And finally, a few other wall paper images.  This one was too delicate to unroll in one piece, but was a beautiful pattern – wish we would’ve found it in better shape.

This is a tulip wall paper –

– that matches the tulip border:

And, on the back of this piece –

– we found these amateur charcoal and pastel sketches:

What gems!
