Well I surely have enjoyed the last few weeks...I got to go to the cabin and start working on a new saddle blanket. I got the warp wound, and loaded onto the loom, the heddles sleyed, and then it was time for me to go up to Yamsi Ranch. John and Jerri Hyde were kind enough to let me come back up to watch the Ranch Roping Clinic they have each year. This year was so much fun...and I got to take lots of pictures as well. This is one of the most beautiful places on earth...I came home and played around with some special editing of a few of the pictures. Jerri and John are pictured below, then a few picture of dragon flies and two group shots of gathering cattle. The horses were so gorgeous, and I even got to get on Jerri's handsome horse for about 10 minutes...hah!!! That was about all 'he' could stand of me....no not really....he is a gentle big guy and sweet as could be, maybe just too much horse for me....seems like I always get on horses that are WAY smarter than I am!!!! :-)When I got home there was lots of produce from the garden, and I got going making refrigerator pickles, zucchini bread, soups and salads, using eggplant, onions, crooked neck squash, zucchini squash, tomatoes and bell peppers, There were also lots of strawberries to clean and freeze and eggs to wash and use in the cooking and baking!!!!
