Double Heart Ranch

Yesterday Hardy, Gay and I participated in the Fredericksburg parade for the fourth year in a row. Riding with us were our neighbors, Paul and Barb King. As usual, May and Belle performed beautifully being perfectly comfortable with all the craziness that goes on in a parade. The only thing that phased them at all was a Shriner dressed up as a clown driving around in a little scooter - and I had the same reaction that they did!

This is one of my favorite events of the year. If you want to get in touch with middle America this parade is as good as it gets. Watching a community come together for an event like this is important to see, especially when we all hear as much negative press as we do about what is wrong with our country. A very uplifting day.

Sunday we took Gay’s dog, Joe David and both of the draft horses to Marble Falls for the Episcopal Church’s Blessing of the Pets.

May and Belle arrive just in time for the service.

Lyn and Hardy give May and Belle a good workout in preparation for a big parade next weekend.
