Staycation
Wisdom, and plain old common sense, have won out. The next ten days are going to be crazy-busy filled with good things, needful things and, I’m hoping, some fun things, too.

Copper’s Day Off
Copper planned a full day of errands today. The weather was glorious, and everything was accomplished well before dinner time. Yeah for us! The day started with a hay run. Copper headed to the hay broker while the boys finished up their morning chores. When he got back, the hay was unloaded and stacked in […]
