Oh what a time we had this weekend Down on the Farm! Jenni came over Saturday with Ricky and we(me and Cheyenne) set off to the bottom land. We found some good footing for trotting along the River levvee and the humans and the horses all had a blast! On our way back we saw a Bald Eagle fly! We followed it a bit and then noticed it had turned back. We saw it sitting in an Oak tree on the Cosumnes River edge. We sat for 10-15 minutes and just watched, what a special treat. Of course neither one of us had our cameras as we both had said to our selves that maybe we were being obssesive about picture taking. And then to miss a picture of this! Never again we vowed, to ride out without our cameras.
David and I had fun Saturday afternoon and evening just hanging around. I roasted a chicken, made lima beans with olive oil and smoked salt and brown rice (Trader Joe's /frozen/just 3 minutes in the microwave /it's too good) for dinner.
Sunday, Jenni came back with Maple, together with Cheyenne and I; we made tracks to the bottom in search of good trotting ...we even got in a little loping! Woohoo!
We did quite a bit of trotting and had fun watching and listening to the Sandhill Cranes .
David played disc golf with his herd of men and I fed the ponies and doggie and kitties. When I was standing with the horses; Zane the kitty came up for a hugging. It was  so nice to stand and just listen to the quiet with my animal friends.
