Elder Berries!

Picked Elder berries with Mikey and now I'm desteming them. Alot of work, but it is so worth it!

Jelly and Syrup...I can't wait!

First Ride of the Season on Kota!

I finally got Kota's saddle back from the saddle shop.  It needed a several items fixed before I rode him with it.  I wanted our first day back in the saddle to be stress free. I saddled him up and he gave a big heave when I tightened the saddle.  After about 10 minutes of lundging  I climbed on and we mostly walked, turned and trotted for about 15 minutes.  I then rode him back to the house and down the short cut about 20 feet turned around and called it a success! Megan is coming for a visit on June 13 and Yenta Clydesdale is having a picnic and I want Kota ready to follow Beau and Megan for the pre-ride.  

OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE!

First Drive of the Season with Beau!

It felt so good to finally get Beau out in his cart.  It's been too long! It was a perfect day with my good boy.  We didn't go to far for our first jaunt, he's alittle out of shape since he had the entire winter off, so we only went around 2 miles. 

This is the dirt road that leads to our home, it's a great for a quick drive.
