Between finishing up the homeschooling year and having our first evaluation, attending the little babe's first horse show, preparing a new Airbnb, and taking care of everything else in regular life, I haven't had any time for this space. When we head out into the woods, I take my binoculars more than my camera. But I am still here and life is good - exploring nature, reading stories, riding horses, squeezing in some knitting, and now spending time watching the latest addition to the family - Snow, Daisy, and Fawn the ducks. When we woke up yesterday morning, we had no idea that by evening we'd have three ducks in the backyard. We found them in a small 3 season pond, realized they needed a real home, and so took six to the farm that we buy our raw milk from and kept three for ourselves. They adjusted very quickly and seem happy in their new home. (The chickens have been a bit absent this morning - I think they are mad at us.)
This weekend we head to my daughter's first Event - that involves a dressage test, show jumping round, and cross country course. We will be with friends and horses, so it should be fun! Hope your summer has started well - it will officially be here next week!
