Memorial Day at the Farm

This Memorial Day we went up to Franklin to spend time with Grandpa and Grandma Haworth, and to enjoy the farm. An extra treat was one of Nathan's Aunt and Uncle's were there as well, Jeff and Terry Griffeth and our cousins Ashley and Aubrey Griffeth. We had fun hanging out on the farm, Nathan got to do a beautiful bike ride, I helped Grandpa decorate the Haworth family plot in the Franklin Cemetary for Memorial day, we BBQ'd, rode the fourwheelers, and probably the neatest thing was when the cows got out on Monday, Lady's herding instinct kicked in, and it was AWESOME watching her herd. She was great, and would come back as soon as I called. She was so much help, and Grandpa's help, Alvino, said she is welcome anytime to help out. What was neat was that she would get excited, but could switch it off when I called if she was getting too excited, and these were big cows! I was a little afraid that she'd get hurt, but hey, that is what she was bred for. Anyway, that was my most exciting thing all weekend. Here are some pics of highlights:

Nathan and Lady on the farm, the hay is growing nicely, and look how green it is!

Kendra and Nathan on a walk one evening, with beautiful clouds in the background

Grandpa Haworth and Jeff in the background, Kendra with the ever growing babe

Our great-grandparents, Grandpa's parents, and just some of the flowers used to decorate

This was on Saturday, I decided to take her out to the small cows to see if she would do it, and I'm glad that she got some practice for the big ones that would even charge on Monday. Lady doesn't bark, but when those big ones would charge, she'd bark, and they'd back down, it was so neat!
