A Country Girl at Heart

After a good nights sleep (well good is relative, but a night's sleep anyway), we woke to a beautiful, if chilly morning on the mountain. Day two brought us a brunch with several family and friends, including Sparrow (Destiny's adopted daughter) and her daughter Sophia, and Nini, who was Orlando's grandmother's best friend.



The real discovery of the morning, though, was that Anastasia really loved her visit to the mountaintop. She begged to be allowed to go outside in her pajamas, and was disappointed when the dogs went back to bed. All she really wanted to do was go outside and explore.



When Sparrow arrived with two more dogs, Anastasia again asked to go out, and this time, had dogs with her on her travels. Daddy was also in tow as she made her way out into the potato field.



It was shocking how far she went out into the field. She's the teeny white dot in the middle of the picture. We figured she and Daddy went about 1/4 mile away from the house.



After a rest to recover from brunch, we got everything together for the trip home. There were long goodbyes and the realization that we have to make it back to West Virginia soon to take care of our little country girl's need for cows, pastures and cats on roofs.
