Willie and Waylan
We took the long way home today. This picture emphazises why we call it living in the valley.
We are caught in a painters pallette between winter and spring.

Dropping over the last hill, we found ourselves in the direct path of Willie and Waylan, two Percherons, that were being lead from the north pasture to the stable for a good scrubbing. Look at those huge feet.
The owner said, "Sure you can take a picture. People are always asking if they can take pictures. But, you have to promise me that you'll check out our web site and let your readers know that these big boys are mighty purty when they are clean and dressed up. "
Willie was very friendly and enjoyed the attention. He weighs in at 2000 pounds. I think that is why we hit it off so quickly. His buddy Waylan, is about 200 pounds trimmer.
As promised, I linked to their home page plus grabbed their getting hitched photo.
Well, hitched to a Carriage and taking part in someone's wedding ceremony.

Imagine riding into the sunset behind these beautiful creatures?

I always consider these the ugly months. But I guess there are so many ways to look at the pause before rebirth.
By the way, you inspired my post today;)
Your view of the valley with the mountains beyond is just awesome!!
:)
Yay! Pretty pictures! What a landscape!
And such neat pictures of the Percherons are great! :)
I wanted to stop by and say thank you for visiting my blog and commenting on my lilac bush story. I hope to see you again sometime.

Thanks for making my day!
Wow and they are so very big... Iused to ride sometimes but I never got to be around that breed..
The pictures are absolutely gorgeous!
Yeah, I saw Kelly picked up that line, too, but since I had already "cut" it, I figured I'd "paste" it (it was a GREAT line!).
I have to tell ya, I thought of the episode in Seinfeld when Kramer bought too much at the local price club, and ended up feeding "beef-a-reno" to a horse that led a Hansom Cab...the horse responded with a noxious gas episode. Funny episode, it was, and I'm sure Waylon and Willie would NEVER do "that" (and I bet their owners never feed 'em beef-a-reno either!).
How'd I get so far behind with reading YOUR stuff? geez....
