Return Leg of the Walk

The guys are on the return portion of their loop of their walk. They are north of the cities heading west.

Butch and Daniel were playing in the barn last night. Daniel was strung up from the rafters. Butch was swinging forward and backward and whacking him with a leather strap as he swung by. Daniel started pumping like a kid on a swing. Pushing himself higher and higher each time he swung past Butch. Daniel's buffed body is a thing of beauty when involved in stressful activity. He has grown from looking like a skinny twink looking boy to a powerful looking young man. Along with his increase in body strength, he has grown more confident.

The animals are settling down after the chaos of giving birth. We still expect a calf to be born in the next month or two.

Life is good and getting better.

  1. It's good to hear. I'm wasn't sure from reading here if it could get any better -as it sounds pretty good anyway. Presume it's the farm work that's buffed Daniel up, Butch must be well pleased.

    Keep us updated on the young animals. Are you waiting for Trace before you name them all?

  2. I think we managed to handle naming the new born animals on our own. The Lama and Alpaca have Spanish names. The foul is named Ragnar because is already showing that he is a bit of a hellion. The goats are too numerous to name.

    We have a well equipped gym here at home. We work out together and I am sure Daniels labor on the ranch helps, whereas Trace works out and pulls his hour doing physical labor and just gets skinnier and sinuous. His veins show everywhere and I think his bones must be made of rubber, he's very elastic.
