... is me at about 14, aside my faithful steed, Patch! I'm 78 now, and haven't been on a horse in 10 years or so. I miss it. One thing I don't miss, though, is when he got tired of a ride, he'd buck a little bit, and I invariably came down on the saddle horn. It's a wonder I'm not a soprano, instead of a baritone!

Your horse and farm (and you) all look fabulous. Take some time for yourself. I can see you have a lot of work time.
