Beautiful grounds and perfect weather plus good friends = a great time!

Dan has just released Kadenz and Cleo says, let me go Dad!!

Beautiful day, beautiful grounds!

Mike and Kelly.
Poor Kelly got stuck with baby Ivan for a while....

Sigmund showing excellent form in "punishing brush"
Which gets you extra points in a real test. 

Christina showing excellent form in "punishing brush" as well!
Yikes!  These are juvenile black locust and are dangerous!

Miss Tristan loving the outdoors!

Gilly and Bridey think the rabbit went in different directions.
