Spending a day in the countryOur 2003 trip

Every country house has a sturdy front door

Conversing in the backyard

Every proper country home also has a pirts (sauna)

The pond might be small, but it does have fish

Silvija practices dog training, first step, get their undivided attention

Another view of the pirts by the pond, the watering can was not staged, it just happened to be there

Anda with doggie

Who wants a belly rub?

Neatly manicured

Every Latvian home has at least one hand-thrown pottery shrine

Doggie and Uldis

Green grows everywhere

Another of doggie and Anda

Doggie hug! The best medicine for everything

House and barn

We never met a barn that wasn't photogenic

Another of the barn

Yet another of the barn

Yet another…
