Flashback: April 2008 Jack arrives at CVF

With lots of patience and work

Jack is now a great horse and lots of fun.

Favourite quotation from Churchill:

"There is something about the outside of a horse,

that is good for the inside of a man."

Working with the harrows

Spring fever at CVF

A ride in the forecart

Flashback: Wood duck box

Last year I built a wood duck box.

We had great success with two hatches.

It must be spring at the farm.

The kids had great fun flying kites.

The hens like their scratch grain.

A dozen eggs from CVF

So how will the bees do this year

A mild winter should have helped.

Coby comes to help with the horses.

Flashback: 1965

In 1965 my father made this 4 horse hitch & coach.

Another work of art in walnut.

A horse is only as good as its feet.

Leesa has been great to groom our horses and pick their feet.

Flashback: First cars

So do Jack and I.

It was a bright sunny February day.

Jack did his best to please.

More snow; more sleigh rides

Flashback: We don't get snow like they used to.

Here is my mother and my grandfather's car near their farm.

I remember going there as a boy when the snow was as high as the roof of our car.

Great snow but chilly.

Jack on the harrows

Trying to keep Jack in shape on the harrows,

so he can pull the sleigh on Valentine's Day.

Flashback: 1957 Southampton

Then I had time to try sketching.

With Medicine & the farm, I haven't had the time.

But I always have the camera handy, and I hope it shows on this blog.
