Around The Ranch on Julie's Birthday

Hey Babe..., I think about you every day that I am out doing chores and realize all the work we put in together here on The Ranch.  From cutting, piling and burning the Scotch Broom to stretching wire for fencing in the four pasture areas, to building The Saddle Bar, The Barn, The Gar-Port and The Well House.  It has been many years now since you were physically able to participate in any of the heavy lifting..., or even able to walk around the property to see how thing were progressing..., so I took some pictures today so you could get a closer look than you are getting from high up above us.  We hope that you have found a place as beautiful as The Ranch with a lot less work to make it and keep it up..., and we hope that you have finally found someone who can solve your physical disabilities and make you as healthy and as happy as you were in your younger years.  And I hope you will save me a spot beside you when I come looking to join you.


I was a little worried that I had gone a little too far in pruning this apple tree..., but it seems to be pulling out of it.


This old apple tree is overdue for a good pruning itself.

 

These little volunteer trees seem to be thriving in this high CO2 environment, judging from the length of the new green shoots.


Some of those green shoots are over a foot tall and ready to fall over from their own weight.


A little different type of green shoots on these little trees, but still impressive.



The Rhody in the Pet Cemetery is almost in full bloom.


You have to look close..., but even the Potatoes are showing green shoots.


Here's the other row getting going.


Charlie Horse won't slow down on munching that green grass long enough to pose for a picture.

Yeah Babe..., the only thing missing here on The Ranch..., is you...,  :(
