Corn, Cows and Country Lanes

The bed and breakfast that we stayed at was in fact on a farm. Though this may not sound appealing to many of you Sterling and I found our stay quite pleasurable. It was extremely relaxing and it provided a nice break from the monotony of our daily lives. The farm was out in the middle of nowhere, as most farms are, and we could see rolling hills in every direction, corn fields as far as we could see and an occasional home if we were lucky. On the farm there were ducks, sheep, a "real" sheep dog that watches over the flock, cows, peacocks, a llama, goats and of course cats.

There was a small fire ring out in front of our bunkhouse where we roasted hot dogs and made s'mores on Friday night. We weren't sure that we were going to be able to have a fire because the weather had been so poor throughout the week and the forecast predicted rain showers all day. But with a little bit of luck the weather allowed us to have a campfire and enjoy the heat for a little while before turning in for the night.



Rise and Shine, that is what you do on a farm right? Saturday was the day dedicated mostly to the festival and though we were looking forward to it, we may have more excited about a nice big breakfast. Dwight and Arlene delivered!

At 8:00 Saturday morning we went to the main house for breakfast with the three other couples staying there. We had pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, fruit salad, grapes, juice and a small dessert cake. Though I wanted to continue feasting forever my stomach couldn't take it.

The bed was good, the breakfast was great and thus we have concluded that a bed and breakfast is the way to go, even if it is a bunkhouse.
