Lavender- Double Chocolate Muffins:
Matilda here - Dad and I baked some of these Lavender-Double Chocolate Muffins over the weekend. I couldn't have any (chocolate is not good for dogs - at least that is what dad said - I think he just wanted more of them for himself). But boy did they smell good!!!!
Lavender-Mint Butter Cookies
Lavender - Mint Butter Cookies: Matilda here - Dad and I baked some of these cookies over the weekend. I thought you might enjoy the recipe. (THEY WERE GOOD!!!!!)
Matilda
Meet Matilda. She is a Blue Merle Australian Shepherd. She is 9 years old and enjoys working on the farm with Jimmer. Her original owners were going to use her in their breeding program and then at two years old they decided against it. She then moved to Lavender Crest and has been a faithful and loving member of our family ever since. She enjoys our visits to "the hedge" and also likes to help Sharon bake and cook.
Hetty Sue
Hetty Sue came to us as a rescue cat from a local farm. She was a little under weight and had a cold. But with some good food, a warm place to sleep and plenty of love she soon was up and playing with everyone. She can be very quiet and we often forget she is around. That is until, out of the blue, she runs around the house creating as much havoc as she can.
Meara Stella
Meara Stella is our dappled grey dun Icelandic horse mare. The Icelandic horse is a unique breed that is known for being sure-footed and possesses five gaits; the typical walk, trot, and canter/gallop commonly displayed by other breeds, but also the tolt and flying pace. The Icelandic horse is also known for its calm disposition which is perfect for therapeutic horses.
