An Improable Great Musician: The Boss

To My Honey

Out to Pasture

We have a new pasture for the goats near the horses,  they plow through pasture so each year we fence a new one -

Pastures are managed better when you can keep animals off of it for a time to allow grazed pasture to replenish itself

in this photo, the goats are on the horse pasture.  Goats are excellent and clearing brush and other plants that horses do not eat.

However, buttercup - the yellow flower - needs to be brush hog because neither animal eats it.
we brush hog in sections so the horses still have uncut sections to graze.  This pasture here is 10 acres. Quite a lot for 6 horses and one pony.

The River and Swimming

the dogs like to cool off in the River on our runs - they drink from it too...Ugh, but dogs have a greater capacity to tolerate unsure water.  I still wish they would not drink it due to run off from farms and all the other pollutants thrown into it.  You would think from this photo it is pristine water - but very few, if any, waterways, lakes, oceans are unpolluted in our era.   Maybe future generations will place a higher level of importance on Mother Earth.  Happy Earth Day!

...all my sorrows

Our weekend was family filled - we had fun, love, and fulfilling times - we had interesting moments - and sadness.

we had good food - sushi, pizza, salads, antipasto, cheese, bagels, butter, and caviar, fresh eggs, coffee, wine.

Family/friends, no matter how little you see them - love is there - closeness.

If I were to reflect, I would say...nothing is taken for granted, everything stays the same, life is very, very short, yet time stands still.
