Ben's summer

Benjaman got to spend some time working on Leslie Farm this summer. He usually spends 1-2 months there.
Working on the latch for the new milk goat pen.
Apparently Benjaman dug many post holes this summer.
Ali (Catahoula dam)-she will be mother to generations as part of the Leslie Catahoula bredding operation. She was very flea & tick infested when we picked her up. Poor girl had to spend a week at the vets. She's doing fine now though.
Chilling with the dogs. Daisy (Doo Doo, the dachshund), Molly (the black mut), Blade ( the Catahoula sire-just call him Abraham!)
Guarding Grandpa from Grandma and Mom.
A break during hiking in Nogal Canyon.

Grandpa teaching Benjaman to cut using a torch.

Bathroom Remodel

We've been wanting to replace our tiny shower for years and the big garden tub has had a leak for years so was unusable. Thanks to Raymond and Shiral we got a jump start on the project last weekend! The new tub/shower is installed and working. We have new flooring and 2 areas for linen closets. I still need to paint, but I'm taking a little break since I need to nail down our school schedule for the year (school starts Monday!).
