After waiting 11 months we finally have our new baby pony. Even before leaving California we tried to get Zanna pregnant but had little success with artificial insemination. The original stud just didn't have good swimmers I guess. Well, last summer we...

Sandi and I invited Jeff and Leta for dinner for his birthday and lit up a huge pile of brush and other stuff we had gathered from around the property over the summer. It was quite a display! I snapped this great silhouette of Jeff while he was tending the fire....

Area transportation for seniors is a laudable goal and most communities seem to have implemented something. Some contract with a local bus company to help get seniors to their doctor appointments while others establish their own systems. When I lived in Meeker, CO...
