The top of Grand Mesa



Kitty and I decided to ride on the County Line at the top of Grand Mesa.  We followed some skidoo and x-country trails.

Miha has to learn how to load in the trailer.  This works good.  Put her feed inside and she has to figure it out for herself.

Bountiful harvest




Gosh, and this is only some of it.  There are potatoes, winter squash, berries and grapes, plums and pumpkins.

A favorite pic

I was going to post something new when I came across this picture in my computer.  I love it.  We were at Grandpa John's in Prescott and the girls were playing outside.  Gigi was furious at her sister and no one knew exactly why.  A few months later the girls were at the farm and my friend, Meredith, showed the picture to Gigi and asked her what she was so angry about.  Gigi promptly said, "Because Bella got me all dirty".

Dusty

My wonderful pocket rocket horse.  For 15yrs she has taken me into parts unknown.  Beyond and far.  Places only a horse can go.  Today we were in a burned portion of Grand Mesa called Cactus Park.  It is steep and rugged terrain.  It burned about 5 years ago killing the cedars and pinions but the oaks are beginning to grow back.  Dusty gives me all she has and more.  I even have to request her to slow up, stop and smell the mesa.  heeheee
