And the shuffle continues. We bid Anna a sad farewell. We were sorry to see her go. Then it was a quick bed sheet change and welcomed Laura. Laura's arrival was not without its own share of mishaps though. Laura's bus didn't leave South Dakota when it should have. A day later she was on the road only to have a breakdown in Missoula. Then another delay and finally arrived Sunday morning. Two days late and never a chance to see the countryside since the whole trip was most all in the dark. Laura was glad to be here and we were happy to see her.
Another tour group visited us, this time a group of girl scouts from the east side of Seattle. And as usual Lady, Quest and Misty had everyone in awe. Those creatures never let us down and bring smiles to anyone coming over with a carrot or piece of bread. Lot to be said for treats! Thank you for your very generous donation to our local Food Bank collection, I'm sure our community will be very grateful as are we.
Well there is no rest even after such a long trip. Laura was immediately immersed in our activities.( Thanks to Julie and Bill in South Dakota for taking such great care of our new house guest.) Construction has started on the erosion control behind the barn. Years of severe erosion has our concern and a caused us to push ahead with an abatement program. the girls were busy practicing their skills putting together some sluice boxes that will help capture some of the gravel heading downstream. Fun project for hot days.
Laura comes to us with some horse skills so got right to it with Starbuck and Lady. Laura had to admit, she had not worked with a horse a big a Lady.
As you can tell, Its not Maureen writing today's entry. Maureen is off baking a birthday cake for Katie. Today is Katie's birthday. We will help her celebrate this special day today with a cake and barbecue later this evening.
Well time to wrap it up and get on with packing the eggs and off to the morning chores. Take care and enjoy the weather and photos. G
