The First Boat Ride

It was well into summer before I managed to take the boat out for the first time.

I found this little guy hanging out on the trailer.

 He won't get in the canoe with me, but he doesn't mind the boat.

 Jasmine was also with us, but she was behind me. They aren't much trouble to take along, except when they both shift to the same side of the boat simultaneously and I have to quickly shift myself to the opposite side.

 I did all the rowing and this is how I found them not long after we returned.

 I decided to cool my feet off in the irrigation water.

Just Life

Another view from a nightly walk.

 I need to capture the full effect of our poor shaved cat.  He is much happier now that all the hot fur is off his scrawny body.

 A huge flock of pelicans flew over one morning.  MY. FAVORITE.THING.EVER!  You can just feel the air compress in waves as they go by. 

 Jen and I put away a stray cow one night.  We found turkey feathers and this odd pile of poop.  ???

 Having been told that our cat was dehydrated, we decided to try a cat fountain.  Oh my word, who knew???  The cats absolutely love it and are drinking significantly more water each day.

 Harriet and her goats. They love to follow her down and then back up the hill.

Boyd and His Dog

These two...

Bad light and just my iPhone, but you can view this scene just about any night.

 If you're curious about the odd orange fur at the bottom of the frame, well, that would be Jasmine.
