We have a special stone depending on what we're going to grind. #oldfashioned #mexicancountryside

These are the stones we use for grinding in the mill. #ranch #mexicancountryside #oldfashioned

People think my job is easy, but it's actually complicated. #oldschool #work

We finally found this beautiful tank full of water. #tank #mountains #landscape #cattle

This is the red javelin and we are terrified of it; it bites as hard as an angry lion.

Doña Raquel's donkey led Karen astray. #donkeys #ranch #cattle #cows

These little animals came with the rain to destroy our crops. #ranch #countryside

And here are the blessings of my Father God, just look. #ranch #countryside #mountains #cattle #corn

We're going to take some coarse salt to Doña Raquel's cattle, and to her donkey too. #cattle #ranch
