Summer!

As some may have noticed there has not been much activity here lately.
Summer came...
And after a looong winter (as I am sure you can understand) staying outside has been much more tempting than sitting in front of the computer!

Today we had +28C/82F, and what could one do after a day at work?
Go bathing with the horses of course!

My daughter even took on a swim suit.
I kept my riding breeches on, but rode without shoes. No sense in keeping them on, as they get soaking wet anyway!

Fame did not see the point in standing still at all.

All the plants have been growing like crazy lately.
Unfortunately, also the nettles....they are reaching toe height!

A JOURNEY FROM SPRING TO SUMMER

I have some pictures to share from the last month, so here they are.

We start end of April:

The first flowers has come.

I just love that intense, blue colour.

The melting snow feeds all the waterways.

Beginning of May:

I had a lovely ride with my daughter.

Riding in a carpet of spring flowers:

Mid May:

Above: a grey day, but I just love those cloud formations over the mountains.

Above: Ferns starting to come up. Looks like an alien invasion!

Fame is contemplating the fields turning green. Pasture time soon?

We also once again had a visit from Wiola and Kari from Aspire Equestrian Riding Academy.

Another super training weekend - thanks guys!

My daughter has a friend visiting, and they are making Texmex for tonight, so I had some minutes over.

Can't sit here. I think I will chill with a beer in the sun.
