A Walk in the Woods

Despite the drought, the trees on Polecat Creek Farm still look green. A few dry leaves have fallen, but summer still lingers. It's a good time for a walk in the woods.

The other day, my buddy Debi brought her pony Apache over to see how he'd do on the trail. He did fine.


Yesterday, Maggie and I walked the trails, and I cleared one that was overgrown. Maggie sniffed and ran. I snipped over-hanging branches and walked. Within an hour, we had the trail open and ready for horses.


Above, a tired and panting Maggie contemplates our—well, my—work. Below, she decides to wait for me to catch up.



I may be slow, but I eventually get where I'm going.
