Bountiful Goodness

This week Rebekah and I felt the satisifaction that comes from living and working on a farm. We had good weather and good company to get our winter tasks done while we were in between our riders and visitors.

The bees came out..

...and when  Rebekah and I started trimming the hedges around the pastures and house, Tara (fertilefoundation.org) came out with a group from 'Charlottesville's Teens Give' and they lent a hand. The boys loved the electric hedge trimmer and really did a great job while others trimmed the ivy along the wall at the side of the house.

Our hay man, Dieter, even came along and cut the tall stuff that no one could reach.

Roxane came out and planted some yucca at the spot where Rebekah trips because she can't see how the land dips at the culvert. She won't miss it now. When I fed the horses later on, I stayed to watch the sunset and felt the happy feeling that comes from working with your hands and your friends.
