Visiting a local market

Shirley and I have been babysitting this week. On Wednesday we stopped by Buppert's, a local farm market. They have fresh home grown fruits and produce. They also carry annual and perennial flowers.  The market is on Ridge Road in Eldersburg behind Carrolltowne Center. I was surprised to find out they have been open since 1951. I always wanted to stop by and we finally did. They also have some goats that the granddaughters were able to feed. They like goats, so they had a good time. As always I had my camera along and was able to grab a couple good shots of the girls and for some reason I like to shoot veggies at the markets.

Little Horses

Shirley and I were watching grandchildren this week and Wednesday we took a day trip to Land of Little Horses in Gettysburg. It's not often we go to Gettysburg and the trip doesn't touch on history. Well, we did talk about the Spangler linage (Shirley's fathers family), since they lived in the area. But the big part of the trip was the little horses. The attraction has more than little horses. There were donkeys, llama, turkeys, chickens, rabbits, goats, and much more. The girls had a great time and enjoyed the show. We came home with different souvenirs as we are the proud owners of two baby goats. The girls loved the animals, so I am sure there will be a return visit to Land of Little Horses. If you go take a camera, the animals almost pose for the camera as they are used to visitors. There are also memories to recaptured of family members, as Shirley and I had a great time. It was only my second time to the land of Little Horses. The first time was for a newspaper story in the 1980s.
