Free to Run

At last! I’m free again! After three long days as a captive in the castle, I am out in the fresh air once again! I am restricted to the “immediate” back yard today, but at least I am outside.

We had a very busy weekend clearing and burning brush. It rained both days but that was ok with the Duchess. She does not like burn piles. Unfortunately, it has to be done to reduce the fire hazard in the coming months. Burning to prevent fire – humans do strange things!

I gave a nice card to the Duke for Father’s Day and it made him very happy. I even let Bear sign it too, because I am a good and kind Queen. I hope you all had a wonderful Fathers Day!

Here is the Duke standing in the trees. We just had all the dead limbs taken off and you can see there is a bunch of clean up work to do.

This is me! I love running on the paths through the trees. It's soooo fun!

Here is the Duke starting his first burn pile. You can barely see the top of the brown picnic bench just past the fence post. It was almost completely overgrown.

Now you can see the picnic bench and a lot more! The Duke and Duchess worked hard all day. The Duchess said it was a "Four Advil" kind of day. And the Duke said they are about 25 percent finished.
