Last weekend a very good friend and I went back to the country to visit the horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, and a few other creatures we had not planned on seeing. Rattlesnakes! We did not get any pictures of them....we were too busy backing away very quickly and trying to be quiet. We did actually retreat without any of them being disturbed and we went our merry way thank goodness. We had taken apples for the horses and donkeys and met a barn kitty that was so friendly. Houdini was outside as usual making his rounds and sniffing everyone, including under my Jeep for some reason. We walked for hours, took pictures and picked blackberries. The weather was nice and not too hot unlike it is now and we had lots of fun. A day in the country is always a day of relaxation and happiness!
Some pictures from the day!

They stay very close to each other.
Something we had never seen before...a tree full of cups and mugs. Creative!

Wow, what a lovely day in the country you have had. We love seeing all the beautiful animals. Doesn't that barn kitty looks so sweet. Mummy says she loves the mug tree hee he :)xx
Thanks for sharing great pictures of your visit.
I love Happy Houdini. His face put a BIG smile on mine.
Love and licks, Winnie
I love Houdini's FACE! One of these days, I will get a dog whose face is half white, half some other color. I adore that look.
I also loved the cup tree. How quirky and whimsical.
SOunds like a great, relaxing day out (minus the snake!).
Rattlesnakes!!! I don't think I'd be brave enough to stay there and take their pictures! So scary!!!
The country looks so pretty and you've taken beautiful pictures of those horses, donkeys and others.
The berries look so delicious!!
So glad that you all had a good day out there in the country and the weather was good too.
Oh, the tree with cups and mugs is amazing!
Very wise decision to avoid those rattlers - scary slitherers.
There are three donkeys here that we like to visit too. Two of them are very close but the third acts like the Fun Police and yells at them and chases them apart. Funny to watch.
Hope you have a cooler and nice weekend.

Holly and Debbie thank you for sharing your day in the beautiful VA country side. Every single picture is purrfect and the animals are so pretty.
We've had a lot of copperheads in our neighborhood. Mom is very cautious when she goes out to fill up the bird bath.
Hugs and stay cool

I am very partial to donkeys, and those were cute as cute can be... but I truly cannot decide what I loved most about this full of fun and wonderful photos post!
And suddenly, I've got a taste for berries!
with love from the Bleu
Wow, what great pictures! Love the donkeys and that tree o' mugs is very unique. Thanks so much for stopping by on my Birthday for the Comment-a-thon!
there's nothing better than a day in the country surrounded by nature and wonderful animals. And I loved that tree! Have a great Sunday!
Mom thinks donkeys are just the cutest!
The blackberries remind us of our walkies to the beach on Nantucket. We picked a couple every single day.
Love ya lots

Hey there Holly-wags,
It felt like I was right there, with you, in the countryside - exactly what I needed while I sit her in bed trying to beat the flu. Thank you. I love you cheery blog! :)

RATTLESNAKES? OH MY! That must have been super scary.
What cute photos.
What is the purpose of the mug tree? Does just anyone put them on there? How neat. :)
Just read your story about Alex and Bingo... So very touching... And so incredibly sweet that Bingo never left Alex' side. I'm sad to hear that they are no longer with you; they seemed to be really wonderful animals... xoxo

Woof! Woof! Cute donkeys. I wonder why they have mugs on the tree trunk ... very interesting. Oh! YUM Blackberries ... did had some? Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
What a great day Holly! I love the donkeys most of all. I'm so glad that the rattler didn't hurt you. That's scary!
Are you enjoying the blackberries that you picked? They look delicious!
