Hi Everyone! I am back from Tombstone for the winter and we are getting the ranch ready for all of your arrivals. Think of you all often and look forward to maybe seeing you all soon here at the Ranch.

It is absolutely beautiful here today. I wish you were all here to enjoy it with us. We are booked for the next couple days but we would squeeze you in if we could. Our best to you all. Morris and Tess

We are having beautful sunny weather for the Bird Festival in Sequim. My guests are heading out to the Dungeness River Audubon Center to cross over the Historic Bridge and check out the natural history exhibits, the guided bird walks and skip along some riverside trails. Wish you all could be here! I might even take a few classes and field trips they offer. The OOlympic BridFest happens all weedend long. Come and join us!

The US championship for Toad Hunters still remains with our home country. This weekend we had some lovely German children trying to break the record of 23 toads. Even though they gave it a gallent try, the toads did not co-operate. So, as it stands, the Seattle children are still on top. Godd try for all. Until later! Tess.

It is 10:30 pm and I am just off to bed. Have some really lovely guests from the State Department Foreign Service. Could not have hoped for more accommodating folks. It has been another really interesting week here on the Bond Ranch. Wish you all could be here! Cheers and Good night! Tess

This week we had another interesting group at the Ranch. We made some new friends and the doggies all fell in love with some wonderful children from Victoria. I wish I could take the children that come here and put them in a jar and pull them out when I need a boost. I should be so lucky! Cheers!

Just wanted you all to know that we had the CHAMPION TOAD HUNTERS here this weekend with 23 TOADS. That is going to be hard to beat. Good luck to the next guest toad hunters!

Lavender Festival

Tess — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 00:30:12 +0000

We are all geared up here on The Ranch for our upcoming guests. There is lavender on their doors and a small gift of lavender in their rooms and in the Cottage. We are really looking forward to seeing all the new faces and a few of the old faces. Last year we had a roaring campfire at night and have folks from all over the world chatting to each other. It was great fun!
This year we have folks from back east, from the Seattle area and from Canada. It should be a fun time. We will roast marshmellows and put chocolate on them and squeeze them into graham crackers.
It has been glorious weather here and should continue right through the festival and on.
Last week we had a returning guest and her daughter in the Cottage and they boarded my kayaiik and slipped down the ditch, ending at the Cottage. They had a fun time. They are probably the first folks (besides myself) that has ever been down the canal by the Ranch. They hung around the Cottage and enjoyed the Ranch to its fullest. What a treat for us to see them relax. They sure earned time of rest with their busy schedules in Oregon.
sue’s daughter Anna will be my second pal on this site and I am looking forward to keeping her posted and hearing what she is doing.
Until my next post….

Welcome!
