Springtime for Isla

OK, I've been taking pictures for my April Photo a Day, but they have all been promptly overshadowed by my niece, Isla.  She and I have been playing on my mom's ranch. 

Changing the water for the horses.

Making sure the fences are in good shape.

Making tumbleweed declarations from the porch swing.

Giving love and pep talks to the horses.

Making sure those trees are sturdy.

Taking giggle breaks.

Contemplating life . . . and tulips.

Fitting things inside of other things.

And the hardest part of the morning . . .

 . . . moving the wood pile.

See, 2-year olds are very handy on ranches.
