At Brite Lake

Image
During the week, you pretty much get Brite Lake all to yourself. Kayaking can be enjoyed, no motorized boats to spoil the serenity. Fishermen try for bass, catfish and trout, campers settle the perimeter.  The ponies enjoy the short walk to the lake. Its just a few blocks from our home.

Solandana Sunsets...enjoy!

Barn Building

Image
First you level the area for the round pen and barn. The round pen was ready as a temporary place for Pinky and Belle, till the barn was built. Then you get ready for concrete. Then concrete is poured and inspected (yes this process goes fast in counties other than Los Angeles). Then the barn arrives. Yes that's it in the background, on the trailer, pre-fab, all metal. Pinky insisted on photobombing - ham that he is! On Saturday August 4, 2018 the guys as Dry Creek Mini Barns start to put it all together. Happiest day of my life! And they keep going! By Sunday evening we are almost there! By Tuesday we have inspection and the ponies move in. It still needs a base of pea gravel, but once done, this porch will make a fine place for workshops and classes!

Made it!

Its been two months since we arrived. Its wasn't an easy decisions to leave LA, my life long home, but it was time. The City Of Angeles didn't work for me anymore. I needed room to breathe, so did the ponies. In the coming weeks, I will have more posts ready, the barn is built, so many creatures and features to mention. I have never been happier... Thank you everyone, for all your prayers and well wishes...the ponies trailered like pros, the rest of the gang settled right into our new lives. We have been waiting for this a long time.
