Welcome to The Valley

So.
Likely, there's one picture too many, included below. But i couldn't help it. I also broke the promise of animal pictures - because I've only snagged 2 so far.
Next time.
I miss home, but my new one isn't so bad! Enjoy the shots;) xo








Also! I went to a rodeo this week - woot woot!

And, Steven gave us the chance to try driving his plow. The sharp metal cutter weighs just under 200 lbs and is pulled behind two Belgium work horses, named Laura and Pete. With Steven holding the reins, and one of us at a time holding the heavy wooden handles, we circled one plot several times, each round turning up soil and cutting a 2ft trough into the ground. We broke a sweat, felt dizzy and sick and then watched as Steven, a 60 year + man took his turn without loosing a breath. He's been doing this for over 30 years, while men behind him have performed the same technique for hundreds. Impressed.
