Mornings begin early at the ranch.
Rooster is crowing his beautiful morning song.
(or as Sweetheart says, Rooster is calling to be read to......click
here for that story)
The smell of fresh brewed Folgers coffee fills the air.
The faint feel of humidity floats around from a morning shower
Nana quietly checks on the children and gently pulls the blankets up and over them.
Not too long afterwards, we all begin to wake.
Cheii begins making a hearty breakfast of farm fresh eggs, oatmeal, and bacon.
Nana is making the dough for tortillas to compliment our breakfast.
Sweetheart, Princess Fifi and Cookie are washed up and ready to be Nana's lil' helpers.
As too, Bam, is up to be Cheii's helper.

Cookie's tiny hand patting out the tortilla dough |
Today, Nana and the girls are making heart-shaped tortillas for breakfast.

Sweetheart is shaping the tortilla dough into a heart shape |
Nana, Sweetheart, Princess Fifi and Cookie have made a delicious stack of warm, heart shaped tortillas for breakfast.
It's a delightful and lovely tribute for the upcoming Valentine's Day.
After breakfast, Cheii and Bam, decide to head out to feed the cattle.
They take the ATV and a truck full of alfalfa hay. They should be back by lunchtime.
The ranch---It's our great escape......... it's what frees our soul and brings smiles to our faces.
