A Saturday Stroll

We decided to move the girls about a mile and a half away to enjoy the incredible grass in a neighboring field. They will move even further in a week, to an old overgrown pear orchard we discovered, before they come back to the house for winter. We had originally wanted them close now, with hunting season having begun. However, the location of the current field is such that bow hunters are not a concern (and they will be moved before rifle season starts).

Dave led Maple down the old road.

Daisy and I followed behind (and had our first selfie).

I may have gotten a little carried away with the selfies.

The girls wanted to stop often, the clover that lined the road proving to be an irresistible snack.

Daisy and I took the lead!

We passed a beautiful stand of red pine.

When we arrived at the temporary pen Dave set up earlier in the day the girls enjoyed a drink from an old concrete trough.

Back at the house we took down the polytwine fencing and gathered the pasture accoutrements. We had help.

The trailer got loaded up and we hit the road to set up the new pasture before nightfall.

The girls were patiently awaiting our arrival.

There was some monkeying around by an old oak that seemed to have a branch bent down just for little boys.

The five year old monkey.
