Country Living

This was my first trip to the Coal Stove Sink. I hadn’t been able to pack my boots and other rural adventure gear, but a trip through Target while en route easily solved that problem. The first thing I saw while pulling up were the four dogs running out to meet us. In addition to the dogs there were cats, chickens, peacocks, goats, a horse, a pony and probably more. The area is beautiful and hikes along the river and through local fields provided incredible scenery. The Coal Stove Sink had tremendous charm and was surprisingly warm with hot water and great water pressure. The host and his family provided excellent company, delicious food, and more than a few drinks. Certainly country living at its finest.

dogs and cats living together ... mass hysteria

As they said in Ghostbusters: “…dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!”

I wanted to post more photos, but the only others I managed to take were of a colleague’s severely bruised buttocks (long story) As this is a family-oriented blog I’ll instead end with a haiku:

river walk with dogs
serious conversations
and bourbon tasting
