Lindee had to work yesterday, and Jackson played in a golf tournament, so Mallory, Clara, & I headed over to spend the day at Historic Brattonsville. They had all kinds of events going on for the kids, and the buildings were all open for us to go in & check out – and to get out of the heat. It’s not one of those houses where the rooms are roped off & you can’t go in – you can just roam around to your heart’s content. I loved this display of zinnias on one of the side tables.
Clara, of course, was most excited about the farm animals we got to see. She took this picture of the piglet. We had a good time talking to the person they just hired to direct the animal husbandry at the farm. All of the animals are heirloom breeds – the very kinds they would actually have raised during the 17 & 1800’s – and she had told us that they had recently sold off all their piglets, except for one they couldn’t catch. That made us laugh – I guess it was this one 🙂
