Musings on nature, birds, horses and other writings about Dryad Ranch, a 128-acre paradise in the Sierra foothills of California.
We are: Praying Horse (yours truly) and The Dinosaur (husband of the Horse).
We have a 128-acre ranch in a little valley in the Sierra foothills which we share with oaks, birds and horses. We were finally able to leave the Bay Area behind and move here full time in August 2009, oh blessed event! We are surrounded by wildlife of both the four-legged variety - coyotes, deer, bobcats, foxes, wild pigs, racoons, skunks - and of the feathered type.
