Back at the Ranch

Trees, we have trees.

This year we have decided to dedicate time to landscaping the yard. Our first thing on the list was to get some trees going. As some off you know, over the year we have planted thousands of trees, the little stick trees you get from the gov. Well as you can see they did not grow. So this year we got bigger trees and planted, planted and planted. Then watered, watered, and watered. And it's working ( keep your fingers crossed), soon it will be St Andrews forest.

The horses are doing great, the boys and girls are rotating on to the big pasture(grey gate). Girls on the field on day and the boys on it for the next. So if you are looking for your horse, it will be either in the grey gate or in the blue.

The bugs are not too bad here yet, the horse flies are just starting, thank goodness for the wind and no trees, to help the horses.

So there in lies our dilemma, with no trees we don't get the bug problem everyone else seems to have, no ticks, very little mosquitoes and a very short horse fly season. With crazy tall vegetation (a.k.a. trees) they block the wind ,create shadows for mosquitoes and flies to accumulate, the long grass for the ticks.

No wonder the horses (or me and the lawnmower) eat all the trees...

Have a great day everyone, hope you see you out on the weekend.
