Bountiful Baskets


We have been enjoying the fruit and vegetable truck that comes every 2 weeks with a surprise selection of fruits and vegetables.  This week was peppers, blackberries, melon, bananas, onions, sweet corn, lemons, pears, apricots, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, cauliflower, probly more that I can't remember.

Heifers!

A beautiful day to work.

A beautiful day to ride.

Summer field trip time

It was sure fun to see the kindergarden class file out of the big orange school bus.....

Kate had led the way a few minutes earlier.
Fischer's class came out to the ranch..they saw a colt, puppies, and kittens first.

They took a long nature walk up to the lake and back.  They had a picnic at Fischer's house after the long walk.

Chris went along and turned rocks overso they could see worms and bugs, pointed out birds and plants and made sure everyone was safe.

On the way to Washington April 21

My parents were able to take a week long trip with us to the coast.  We stopped to see Jeremy's family along the way.  The school is right behind the backyard.
                                            Taking time for a picture Sunday morning.
 Nice mountain view.
 The lawn is not here yet.
