Bay Laurel Ranch at Garzas Creek

In honor of Dolly Parton’s beautiful mission to encourage children to read and thrive, Bay Laurel Ranch is donating $80 to Dolly’s Imaginary Library. If you know a child from 0 - 5 years old, pass along this wonderful link to allow them to receive a free book each month for their first 5 years.

We love this, don’t you?! Thank you Dolly for your light and your love. We already miss you. ❤️🙏

A time to prune, a time to provide.
One crew trimming trees, another replenishing the hay barn. All part of tending the ranch well.

Thanks to all the hands and hearts that make Bay Laurel Ranch keep on keeping on.

We are better together.

❤️🐴🙏

Be strong. Be brave. Be kind.

For those who wonder .. these images and more are available for purchase as 4” x 6” postcard type prints mounted on cardstock and on display at Carmel Valley Art Association Gallery next to Café Rustica. Profits from the card sales go toward the care and feeding of our foster donkeys, Hope and Gizmo. ❤️

Buck Moon over Bay Laurel Ranch.

The Buck Moon gets its name because July is when male deer (bucks) are growing their new antlers, covered in soft velvet before they harden later in the season.
