If you look closely you
will see me with my cat. Dusky rides out with me to feed the
horses and bring them water. He is an old cat and just loves
sunshine but I have a hard time telling him that he will never get
tan!

Thought I should take the plunge and get a no till planter. It
needs a lot of work but fixed up it should do better than the old
planter.

Our swallows in the barn. Each day I would open the barn doors
to let the parents in to feed the young ones. I would wait until
dark to close the barn so the busy job of feeding could continue.
Suddenly they were gone and I assume the young ones just jumped
out of the nest and flew away. It was nice to be in the fields
working and having the swallows picking off bugs that I scared up
.... and just maybe it was one the the young ones.

Dorothee with Ginger and Chief as a a team. It took a lot of
work to get Ginger to even wear a bridle but she is a smart horse
and now is part of a team with chief. We are pulling logs for
practice and so far things are very good.
