A Visit to Mary Jane's Farm

                     

Four, very excited MJ Farmgirls piled in my car and we all headed to see Mary Jane Butters farm in Moscow, Idaho, yesterday.  Sharon aka, Bobbin Robin, Kim Thomas, her daughter; Grace, Katmom and me, Karen, Kpaints; rolled up and down the country roads of the Palouse, enjoying the beautiful green wheat fields and sunny skies.

We got lost, even stopping to ask a local farmer to help but we finally ended up in a heavenly oasis….known as Mary Jane's Farm.

And what an oasis it was!

This is a campsite, complete with a gorgeous tented bed, fireplace, flowers….just divine!  We were late for tea but that didn’t stop us from jumping right in.

Here’s Mary Jane, Rebekah, Meg (Mary Jane's daughter), Grace and an associate of MJ’s, all doing a little bouncing!

Diane took us over to show us where she was staying on the farm, a gorgeous spot, right in the woods near a small lake.

A place to relax and sleep.

This sweet pony, Peony, is hanging out near her namesakes.  This adorable pony was made by CJ and her daughter, Robin.  It made the 3000 mile trip to the farm in the back of CJ’s car.

  11. Karen,
    Your pictures are beautiful as are you! I had such a great time...there were a few bumps in the road (all 4,465 miles of it). All in all a good trip with lots of new friends and wonderful memories. I went junkin and found something real sweet for your trailer. I will send it as soon as I get caught up with laundry and gardening.
    Your FGF,
    Diane
