Just a few random pics… Dandelions are having a great year. Narrow trails and smart horses… The Ant Hill just erupted! This hill, the Ant Hill, has a fantastic cloud behind it and it reminded me of a volcano… A blue heron circles above us, irritated at disturbing their nest.

This was first published June 10, 2011. We gathered another pasture. It’s called the Joe Henry. He was the guy Vernon’s grandfather bought this place from back in 1909.
