Visitors from Sapporo, Japan

Takehiro & Ayako came for a short stay at the farm.

Take is the curator of the museum in Sapporo.

Ayako is an art teacher in the high school,

They presented us with a painting by Ayako of Jack & the cutter,.

Jack is even known in Japan. What a horse!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flashback: George with the cutter

George was the litte Hackey pony that we first drove,

The late Bill Robertson loaned him to us for the winter.

He was very willing, and taught us lots.

That was many years ago. Just look at Ian & Annie.

We still use the same cutter with Jack & Bonnie.
But draft size shafts.

This little cutter has given us alot of pleasure.

If all this rain was snow, we would be motoring in the cutter.

Great day to spread manure

           Dorothy came to the farm a city girl but she definitely is a farm girl now.

She loves spreading manure in the north field with the old JD spreader.
