Yesterday about a gazillion ladybugs hatched and half of them landed in the goats' water. Every time I tried to get a picture of them a goat stuck its head in the bucket to see what I was looking at. One of the volunteers asked if we were feeding the ladybugs to the goats for protein.
We drove to North Chico where Lyle had our hay ready. We ate a picnic lunch on some hay bales and then the loading began. The squeeze makes loading easy.
Lyle carefully balances the load to make towing safer. Can you believe we will be back in 8 days to get more?
On the way home the almond trees showed off their new growth. It's a beautiful drive.

The fields are starting to get golden now. Even with all the rain the grains are changing colors.
There is a cute little house we pass whenever we go to Chico. Sometimes it sits empty for years and we feel that it looks lonesome. This Spring , however, someone has been fixing things and adding plants and the little house seems to be happy.
We live in the foothills near the Chico monoclime. There are hills and domes like this all over. It is a wonderful place to live with so much natural beauty. I guess we are truly country folks at heart. Open fields, trees, animals, and gardens are what we like to see.
It was a quiet day with only 3 friends coming to dinner tonight. How blessed we are to have loving friends (human, equine, canine, etc) and family (human, equine, canine, etc).

A special thank you to all the servicemen, women and animals who have given so much for all of us.
