100% MacGregor

Ella's a Cederbaum through and through but there are definitely times when other family lines shine through. When we went to Silverman's Farm over the weekend, Ella was 100% MacGregor. My mom, Anne, was a MacGregor. She grew up on a farm, had her own horse (Cheyenne) and showed sheep with the 4H Club. My mom never met an animal she didn't like.

That was Ella this weekend.

Goats, chickens, deer, Ella loves them all.

Here she watching the "animals."


She loves this "baby" sheep.

Ella loves chickens. Listen to her version of a rooster crowing. Also, according to her, chickens say, "buckle buckle".

Ella didn't want to leave the animals but a ride in a cool wagon to the pumpkin patch helped ease the transition.

Note the new squinchy face she makes when she sees the camera.

With her pumpkin hat, it was tough to find her in the pumpkin patch.












She really loved the white pumpkins but kept calling them "apples".












We got so many pumpkins Ella had to push the wagon rather than ride in it.












A little boy saw her in the pumpkin hat and said reverently, "wow, it's a baby pumpkin!"











Of course, Ella picked the heavest pumpkin to buy.




Ella even loved picking out flowers for our front steps.











At the end of a busy morning, Ella drove me home.

Here, Ella's showing Daddy the flowers and pumpkins we brought home.
