Trail Dragger

Not to be confused with Tail Draggers... this trusty machine is our ten year old Polaris and the rusty bed spring that have dragged many trails. It's especially useful in the wooded area where the berries grow up so quickly and prickly. It's a rocky area and I don't want to mow in there so the bedspring does a good job. The Polaris does not run as hot as the bigger machine, not sure why.

The fields are full of the Indian paintbrush look alike orange and yellow flowers.

The deer are very cozy right now. I suspect they feel safe near the pens and are ready to have fawns. I was cleaning a pen this afternoon and turned around to see a doe just standing behind me chomping on the tall grass. This morning there were two just off the trail, one lying down , as I walked quietly past with three dogs.

We've started our summer habit of heading for the lake cabin for afternoon swims. The dogs are wildly happy about this ( the ones who get to go).
