August 2018

August started with another horse camp.  It was a fun success!  

One of those horse camp days Timmy went to cub scout camp.  He loved it, but came home dirty! Brian went two days after.

I unloaded a bunch of hay from the trailer.

Timmy helped sweep it out.

 I posted sandpiper for sale as she was not working for what we needed.

I ended up finding another horse for what I thought was free but after a lot of drama from the guy I ended up paying 300 for him.  He might be going soon too.  He's a bit too much for us. But pretty all the same!

Our garden got a little out of control.  Timmy loves the garden!

Morning Lego building before school began.

Timmy did a great job of drawing Pip.

One last day at the ranch to say goodbye to cousins!

More sand time at home.

The poor sheep hate the heat!

The boys watched a little bit of fly tying before bed.

And one more ranch night before school starts.

This time we slept in the teepee.

And woke up bright and early to see the sun come up.

Brian's army sand battle.

Reading in the teepee.

The boys helped plant a tree.

Timmy was beyond happy to start harvesting our corn!

Then school began.  Brian is 5th and Timmy in 3rd.

They convinced me to make crepes for breakfast.

We got a day of rain.  It was a nice relief, but we still want more.

We had an emergency problem with the basement shower just before guests arrived.  Luckily Mark took care of it and got it fixed in time.

And just like that summer is over and school is in.  August is always a bit bitter sweet.
