A Week Of Firsts

It has been a week of firsts for young Mizuki here on the ranch. First time to the Pacific North West, first time helping milk a cow (thank you for your patience Bella) , first time mucking out a horse stall, leading, grooming, cleaning hooves..in fact first time being with a horse ! She has gathered hay, loaded and unloaded bales and help decimate the thistle population in the pastures. In her first 7 days Mizuki has driven for the fist time, found a "need for speed" on the quad, mowed little May the Jersey calf's pasture and driven the big Chevi truck. She has pruned trees and bathed the dogs, helped fix a broken fence and feed a hungry calf. It has really been a week of firsts....she is still smiling and there are two weeks to go !!! Thank you for accepting the challenge Mizuki. It has been a pleasure. 
Take care, keep safe, M

Twins Out Of Control

Many many years ago ( about 50 I believe) Annie and I shared a rowing boat taking gentle trips around the stately lake which graced the grounds of Lark Hill Convent Boarding School. Today, July 4th seemed a good day to take another trip around a not so stately lake ( theoretically to clear the blackberry off the island) and a great day to have a little fun ! Neighborhood children happened to be passing as Annie and I did orbits around the said island...and were reluctant to leave anticipating us joining the fish and geese in the less than sanitary pond water !
One day we will remember that we have got old....but today WASN'T that day. I couldn't decide which photos.to choose..enjoy our insanity. Happy July 4th. Take care, keep safe, M
