Our friend, Heather, was here when Belle was born.
I think if calves could have godmothers, Heather is Belle’s!
But Heather is also a kindred spirit that thrives here at the ranch and so we all feel more joy when she visits and throws herself into ranch life with gusto.
This visit included the journey over Grizzly Summit to find the 2021 Christmas tree. With Heather’s help, we broke one of our newer tree harvest rules (thou shalt not attempt to carry a heavy tree up the mountain). There was a lot of huffing and puffing, but the three of us managed to get the tree uphill and loaded. It was good that there was no snow. But it is bad that there is no snow.
Here are some photos Heather shared with us from this trip:
