Old fashioned hay ride

This week the kids and I took a trip down to SLO to stay in our favorite hotel in Pismo on the beach. I found a wonderful farmstand on the road to Avila. They have a great little shop and market and deli. Zoe and I bought matching chicken aprons and some romaine lettuce to feed to the goats. Then we took a hayride through the fields and orchards, driven by tractor. The skies were bright blue, and the farm in it's peak of the season. Fat squashes ripening on the vine, corn taller than me, peaches blushing on the trees. It was really lovely there in the Avila valley.
