A day on the farm in CA

Lillies

The lilies began to flower after we moved onto the farm, showing their radiant colors.

We have not renovated the warehouse where the airstream will sleep in the future but for now it looks pretty alongside the garden.

I couldn't resist walking out into the garden on such an early misty morning.

Watching slugs!
Mesmerized by slippery slimy slugs

How the boys love to watch little creatures in their natural environment.

Our big babies!

"Gitane", pronounced with a j, means gypsy in French, the name we've given to this beautiful long maned Haflinger Pony. We are hoping to carriage ride her in the future.

Our other Haflinger pony, they found their way into the garden but not anymore we had the fence put up.

    I am so happy to have found your blog again! I use to love visiting your space here, and was just thinking about it a couple days ago, but couldn't remember the address. Then, I happen to stumble upon it this evening. Funny how things like that happen!

    Congratulations on your new family additions, they are adorable!

    Looking forward to catching up on your blog and see what I have missed.
    Have a great week!

    Hi Cristina, we still have a farm in Dominican Rep. Our Canadian friends bought a part of it and they care for the horses. Bella continues to suffer from a tropical tick disease. She will always be a weak horse but at least enjoying the freedom of the wilderness. We could not bring the horses because of this problem. They are loved by my friends and we visit them.
