Once again our Mellor National Holiday arrived… hay cutting 2022. We were lucky enough to have uncle Roy and aunt Patrice join us this year on the ranch. Daddy worked hard; from sun up until sun down, multiple days in a row (on the ranch and also at his “real” job). We like to call our ranch a “gentleman’s ranch”. Nevertheless, it takes a lot of hard work which helps us all rally. We had a pretty good crop with 113 bales (up from 72 the year before). We gave most of them to Abby who inherited our two horses when we moved to Park City and then we were able to give some bales to a local sanctuary. It’s a full circle moment of goodness for all involved. Grateful for these warm summer days on the ranch.

Charlotte’s cat, Zeus, who is featured in many photos below passed away about a month after these pictures were taken. We will always love and remember him. RIP Zeus.
