Here is a morning pasture picture in which the beautifully fixed fence is visible in the background.
Jane and I had a good, long wander on horseback this morning, followed by a brief flatwork session on our Irish chestnuts. No pictures.
Harry ventured out to recycle and to grocery shop, while I did some minimal housework, then took a few pictures.

Rebecca came to help in the garden today, and, as usual, did twice as much work as I ever get done, always with great good humor. She cleared a lot around the pond and stream.
Water lilies
Marianne returned today, after a couple of days with a colicy horse, who is fine now. It was good to see her, better to get good news after a scary time.
Tom Morris caught the eye of the camera, as I sat in the barn chatting with Marianne.
When I returned to the house, Roscoe was ready to come in for the evening, too.
Wait for me!
Harry is feeling much more cheerful, after a day of exercise and errands and progress in the studio.
Cedar, also cheerful, imitates Harry…
Out in Montana, there is smoke from fires, but Rainy and pal are safe, happy, and growing. Photos by Nancy Stevens.
Rainy is the leader, no surprise! 
A substantial rear end with an adorable mule tail. Both fillies wet from sprinklers. 
Rainy is really gray already
Stay safe, stay well, keep smiling, and embrace the gray.
Are Marianne and Rebecca on something? Happy pills of some sort? Must be their work with nature. Read Read Read!!! The Overstory, by Richard Powers!!!!!!!
