These are the morning greeters. Lilu is ready to start the day, Denver is not done being a chihuahua bed yet this morning. Lilu and I are up and out early because it's supposed to be hot and we have to finish cleaning up the carcass of the old greenhouse. It was old when we moved here and of dubious construction.

We raise Shetland ponies. Downsizing has come to our farm because I like itty-bitty first off (see 1/2 of morning greeters above) and they are easier to deal with.
