Bathroom is done!

This is my new bathroom, looks kinda like it has an Island theme, but in reality, I just like the light colored wood and the nice blue/green color paint. The shower curtain ties it all together I think.

Hay Helpers

Saturday Nick and Logan came on up to the ranch and helped cover the hay. Those agile boys can get work done quickly. Thanks again Nick and Logan.

Pears gone bad! :>(

There are times when you want to can up that lovely fruit, but your schedule keeps you from getting to that fruit until you wait too long and the fruit is no longer able to be enjoyed. Well, I believe that the said fruit should be returned to the land, by way of the cow. I took the fruit back up there and gave it to Nellie and Molly and several other cows. They happily agreed to eat and enjoy the fruit.

Funny thing is there are still pears available to eat up there, just yesterday I picked two really nice pears. The third pear that picked was being enjoyed by a wasp and I made the mistake of trying to steal his fruit. Well he came right down stung me on my chest then proceeded to go down my shirt. I panicked, screamed like a school girl, then I untucked my shirt, he flew to the ground where I proceeded to step on him. Yikes!

LABOR DAY

This is how I spent my Labor Day Monday. Donna and I canned up 24 pints of fresh O'Henry Peaches. We bought them up in Auburn at Machada Fruit Stand. They were firmer than expected but sweet and delicious. Looking forward to enjoying the peaches all through the winter and spring. Also, picked some fresh Bartlett Pears up at the ranch, planning on canning those beauties during the week. Special thanks to Trish for help with the cell phone pictures. Thanks Trish- I got all of them.

Bathroom Remodel

Okay, this is only partly done, watch for more very soon!

I don't know how to turn the top picture the correct way.

Isabelles Visit To Sacramento

Hello AUGUST!

Summer is in full swing. This weekend Isabelle, Karl and Sean drove up from LA and we all got together for a BBQ @ the ranch. Bob, Karen and the kids came up too and we had a blast. We took turn riding the quads, picking fruit, playing with the animals, and generally just getting dirty. I have some fun pictures of the occasion compliments of Bob's Awesome new camera.
