Happy Labor Day!
How has your Labor Day Weekend been so far?
Have you done anything fun to celebrate the end of summer?
We had quite a bit of an exciting weekend here on the farm.
Hubbs took 4 days off, so we had lots of adventures.
Friday we finally finished erecting the walled tent in the woods.
This has been a summer-long project.
With lots of help, we rolled out the canvas.
Put the poles in place....
To our neighbors and friends Jim and Kathy, our young friends Jake and Andrew...
Thank you so very much for all of your help!
It's hard to believe....
but the tent company (Colorado Yurt Co.) claims that it is possible for two
people to erect this tent.
I wouldn't have wanted to do it with any less than the six of us.

I had time to take a few rides this weekend.
I have been riding Moonbeam almost daily.
He's been such a good boy...even on long walks through the woods.

Big excitement for Becky and Sid this weekend!
(If you are new to my blog, Becky is my sister in law who shares our farm
and Sid is her rescued thoroughbred race horse.)
Sunday was Sid's first dressage competition.
He did two separate dressage tests and won them both!

Raised her high....
Some finishing touches....
And the final campsite....
Ready for its first over night guests.

What an amazing transformation in just a little over a year....
from broken down, sad retired race horse
to
proud, healthy, winning dressage horse!
You can watch one of her winning tests here....

We bought a pop-up camper that can be set up in under 3 minutes...or so the salesman told us. Well, I'm sure it can...IF the setter-upper has done it a million times before!
Your tent is beautiful! Are you opening a Tent & Breakfast at the farm?
