December and January were such busy months (with all of our visitors and teams) I never got around to posting many pictures.  The internet connectivity issues may have had something to do with that as well.  So here are some recent pictures for your viewing pleasure

Taly was certain that she had a secret talent as a “horse whisperer.” This was not true
