It is the first day of summer, and the lilacs are behaving appropriately! They are really starting to bloom!
J and his two friends had a job this weekend.
They set up balloons for the Mounted Shooting competition. It was hard work, but they loved the fact that they got paid!
In this competition the riders run a course on horseback and have to shoot balloons with black powder guns while going as fast as they can.
This lady did it in a skirt!
It is fun to watch how they turn the horses to get through the pattern set up in the balloons.
Not being horse people, there was a lot for us to learn by watching. It is impressive what people do on their horses.
Enjoy the beginning of the warm season! We're hoping to get some of that warmth soon.
