Bourg encore

digging out small potato from the garden
I was talking to Cathy and then turned my head and saw this... MM moved two chairs and grabbed her books so that she could sit and read exactly like Papou.
I went running for a few times in Bourg and discovered this park on my way...

Papou teaching the kids how to breathe, Anouk was the champion, MM raised her head but did not breathe, but today's glory belongs to ROMEO!

MM was happy that she got the white (grey) one, her name is Margot
Michel teaching MM how to brush the horse
Cathy and Anouk brushing Daisy, who turned out to be a lazy horse who did not want to move.

Helen multi-tasking

our troop, we walked for an hour in the mountain. I took care of MM's horse - Margot, she was really a good pony except that she really liked the vine, I had to tore her from those vines several times.




play some more twisters once we got home..
