We almost fell, but we did it. With Ben and me running since Tuesday we have not had a chance to just relax and breathe. Say no more. After family and friend commitments the last three days, we are finally breathing a sigh of relief. Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley is just the spot to sit in lotus position to view beautiful vistas and breathe country air.

Horses, cows, geese and even frogs are glad that we came as the noises of the season take over and I feel very much at home. Ben made so many friends already and I am sure we will meet a few more.

Stretches and a long walk in the country and off we go. . .
