Valley Work

Dennis came to the Ridge, he and Isabella worked Whiskey and Desert up and down the valley. They are having to get used to the steep walk down - the equines don't love it yet.  And of course, Emerald had to kiss on her man.  She and Dennis have something going on.

What you do before the whole family is gone for the week, you stock up on hay.  Clara was showing her appreciation.

Labor Day 2023

Our day started off with friends stopping by the farm to chat. Always a treat.

Labor Day Continues

Later, Aunt B and the gang stopped by to treat the equines.  I did my best to convince them mules were the superior animal but I don't think it worked.  
 

Sunday Sabbath Brunch

A day of rest, much much needed.

The Family that Bids Together

The post chili charity auction is always fun, this year was no exception.  Such a good time for a good cause.

Auction Angels

Proud of Bella for helping with the auction items, you might call them the auction angels that helped hold up the items.

Randy Travis Signs

Randy Travis was so generous with his time and signature of help sell some of the great items that were auctioned.

Swapping Tales with RT

Randy and I trading stories about my friend and his brother.  Dennis was a good sport about it all.

End on a Pool Game

Isabella and Chloe ended the night with some pool after they were off duty.  Isabella would want me to tell you that she won both games.
