Happy Hart Ranch Camp

The moon, this morning and tonight.

The day started out great. Sunrise and the moon. And continued to be great with a three hour ride on my steed, Red. I am exceedingly lucky to live on my Happy Hart Ranch in the midst of the Arizona desert.

It was a beautiful morning for a ride. Thank heaven because it lasted a lot longer than I planned. My 33 year old horse thought he should be getting back to the feed bucket after about 30 minutes so he started jigging. And kept it up for the next two hours. Lucky Me! To have such a spirited mount at my age. I mean his age. Lol!

Mr. Quail is on the lookout for Mr. Roadrunner who is only looking for a drink of water. I feel so fortunate that I can witness wildlife in their natural settings.

With summer "mostly" behind us, I have to think about next summer already. I am going to upgrade my solar system so I can have a few more hours with air-conditioning. Using a gas generator, I could only have four hours a day.
So, I have to put my beautiful old high-back saddle up for sale to help pay for more solar. This saddle is probably from the 1930 or 1940's. I bought it from Vaughn Boyd's Antiques in Custer, South Dakota. Had it refurbished to be ride able and enjoyed it immensely. At one time, it was displayed in my family's home. It is too heavy for me now. Asking 800.00. Will throw in the handmade saddle rack.
