the blue blog archives: the Hinterlands

In case you thought I was joking about vacationing in the Hinterlands, here's a picture of the Sunday paper.

This is a pic from the balcony. The backyard ends at the hedge row right before the sheep. And that's the town beyond the fields. Many of the locals have a small field or two out in the hills that they farm for themselves.

We took a little tour of the village with the boys in search of farm animals and found cows, horses, and some chickens and geese. The geese were very funny.

See? You're having a Rhinebeck vacation after all. Sheep, geese, mountains . . . you even have contact with fiber friends.

P.S. You are coming along next year. You have NO choice in the matter. ;)

How cute are those guys! Your inlaws must be beside themselves with grandparent joy. Hopefully there'll be some time for yarn buying...

You know what? That geese-delight doesn't end, either. My two sisters and I still still laugh like that at geese (and a lot of other stuff). They're perfect boys. :) Enjoy your time in the HLands.
