Lombardi Ranch and Other Happenings

Here are some pictures from our trip to Lombardi Ranch. Seeing the animals was an interesting time for Vijay, who wasn't sure he like them-except for the pigs (which I never took a picture of). They were busy rooting in the dirt and pushing each other around, all the while making great piggy sounds. Cam and I had been making "oinking" sounds while playing with him the evening before.



Here is the pumpkin we picked out to bring home. I made a pie out of it for all to enjoy.






Last weekend we went to Huntington Gardens in Pasadena-at times I thought I was back on the east coast-the gardens were lush and green. The gardens cover about 200 acres, and are divided up into types-Japanese, Chinese, etc. with appropriate plants and buildings. It was a wonderful place to visit, and made me so thankful that I live in a state that has lots of green, growing things, and I am looking forward to being back in Maine to enjoy the cold weather and , yes, even the snow!
