We travelled down this lane until we reached the farm we were to stay at:
We stayed with a family who have about 90 acres and do a bit of farming in their spare time:
Animals included a goat, 3 dogs, a few cats and 3 kittens, and a horse:
The farmhouse, built probably sometime around 1840, has been extensively remodelled and repaired, although our friends say there is still a project wherever they look.
The field at the back, full of Queen Anne's lace, was amazing:
I think barns are just so pretty:
And there was a wrap-around porch to sit down on for Sunday afternoon:
We passed many farmstands and came home with some Green Gage plums:
And a bushel of apples:
And now we'll just have to convince some of the people in Grand Rapids to come down here for a visit!

What a beautiful place! Looks like a very relaxing place to be.
We lived in Holland for nine years. It is such a beautiful part of the country.
Of course, my first thought is wondering how they get in and out of that long lane with all the snow! :)
