Girls Weekend

Last weekend Camille and Ana came up to the ranch for a fun girls weekend.  One of my good friends was scheduled to join us but unfortunately got sick (no, not Coronavirus) so she had to cancel.   Brett went off to spend the weekend with his brother.  He spent the weekend boating and enjoying the Arizona sunshine.  Here, the weather was overcast and cold, with a good soaking rain on Saturday.

Camille always spends time with the donkeys when she visits.  She and Ana were a huge help with all the barn chores.


They mucked the side pasture so she got to meet Luek up close and personal.  He is an up close and personal kind of horse.

Luek appears to be ruling the pasture.  He and Lucy are together all the time, with Tex following at a respectful distance.  Luek pushes Lucy and appears to be in charge which is interesting.  Lucy is quite the opinionated drama queen so to see her meekly giving her space to Luek is quite surprising.

Camille and Ana did some wine tasting.


I was the designated driver but I didn’t suffer.  We put together an amazing cheese plate and opened a bottle of champagne for dinner.  I baked a loaf of walnut fig bread which paired perfectly with the cheese.  Sage thought she was one of the girls and tried to join in.


It was too wet to do any hiking so we spent Sunday in front of the fire, reading books and relaxing.  We have a big storm coming in this weekend, with the possibility of snow and quite a bit of rain.  We are currently at 50% of normal for rainfall and the rainy season is almost over so a big storm is a welcome thing.
