Today was the Roberton Common Riding ride out. Jock Thompson, a local farmer, hosted the event in his field.

I’m still figuring out how I feel about Common Riding. When Charlie returned to Woodburn Farmhouse, he started shearing the sheep.

Our sheep trust us because we treat them kindly and only step in when it is truly needed for their well-being.

We finished the day by watering our kitchen garden. Lately, we've had some rain here and there, likely due to the heat and dry soil. The path has been ready for gravel or wood chips for over a week, but since the truck broke down, we haven't been able to spend money on less urgent projects.
