All sorts of good stuff

Nothing really new, except I'm totally itching to get out on the trail.  Nobody seems to be able to ride.  I might take Jasper for a hike tomorrow.  It's glorious out in the woods.

But going back a bit - Jasper and I have been taking walks in the evening.  He is always worried about the door to the grain bin (it's dark in there, and there's a cat, and who knows what other monsters) so I stood in there and found some goodies to feed him.  He's so cute!

Pedro wants to eat Jasper alive.  He broke my round pen.

There's a tree on our hill that reminds me of Woodstock from Peanuts.

My friend raises happy grassfed beef.  If you want a beef, or part of a beef, that's raised humanely, grassfed, and butchered locally (no feedlots, big cattle haulers, or slaughterhouses), I can put you in touch with her.

Liam is the heifer whisperer.  Or so he wishes.

Maybe he'd be a better steer-whisperer?

He had more luck with the sheep.  I had put down my camera by that point, but he made friends with them and insisted that we should have sheep again.  I miss my sweet little Roseanne.  But we're just not fenced for sheep.

Then we went for a hike.  A very short hike, but I was so glad to see that this area hadn't been logged.  It's one of my favorite places for a nice relaxed ride.  I am hoping to go out there again tomorrow.

Glory,

 

Glory.

Oh, and since one of my riding buddies is out of commission for a couple months this summer, I am definitely more motivated to ride Jasper.  Then I can make John ride Scout and we can have lots of adventures together.  Finally!
