finally an update
still cleaning up new place and while it is not big enough to really be a formal ranch, It is a ranch in our eyes. Kathy and I are really enjoying the open space and wildlife. We are starting to get things organized and have the round pen up and two pastures fenced for the horses. We are cleaning up the old barn for partial demolition.
have put canoe in pond for solitude rowing. will clean up lily pads as they clutter. listen to the loud enormous chorus of the mating frogs almost 24/7.
