Direct from Lemley Century Farm, Iowa

While papa whiles away the weekend reading, resting, brewing beer and geocaching, mama and Violet are at the Lemley Century Farm for the weekend. All reports are that Violet is having a magnificent time swimming, bale jumping, riding mowers and the like. She also idolizes her two cousins, Alek and Derek.

Here are Alex, Derek and Violet all using their "computers."


Here's an instant classic: cousin Derek and Violet on a horse together. It is so sweet how Derek is minding her.


And mom and Violet got in on it, too.
