Getting ready for the week long horse back ride to the beach.

We took the jeep on a road trip to deliver horse feed to the stops we will be making on the ride to the beach in June. We set out early and the clouds added a mystical beauty to the already majestic and familiar views. Our volunteer Ron took some beautiful photos.

It was a full vehicle, 5 adults and 10 ducks. The ducks were going to their new home with our friends Joshua and Yemaya at Verde Energia  www.verdeenergia.com . Just in time since 9 more ducklings were born on the farm this week.

The rainy season is definitely here now. This week was especially rainy. Too wet and muddy for trail rides, instead we took advantage of any short break in the rain to exercise the horses in the ring. 

Pete brought the billy-goat over for some first aid and a hoof trimming the same morning we made home made doughnuts.

The cloudy wet weather was perfect for transplanting young starts into the garden, 200 lettuce starts, peppers, tomatoes and some spinach too.

And out youngest rooster, Little Richard, crowed for the first time!
