Part 2, Morning Walk In The South Hay Field

We were heading back via the grassy passage through the line of trees. Some day I hope to have a gate there so I can use rotational grazing:

The neighbors had been picking blackberries and riding their horses along the tree line, so I did a close inspection for ripe fruit. Alas, it all seemed to gone:

Daphne struck a particularly lady-like and Papillon-like pose, so I quickly snapped a photo of her. I don't usually get many of either of those from her:

We were nearing the house and barn when I caught little Clover bounding for joy:

And Fergus joined in the fun also. You can tell by his flapping ears:

Well, we were almost back to home and I knew that Wally and Winky were inside waiting for us. We picked up our pace a bit:

There's a strip of un-mowed weeds, apparently mostly Goldenrod, between the south hay field and the barn. Well, we were back at the house and it was time to seriously consider taking a real hike. But I'll post about that tomorrow:
