I am sorry I have been so bad about keeping this up.  Besides being feeling really cruddy with a cold and cough that doesn't seem to go away and Bob went Elk Hunting and I had to animals all to myself.

Love this picture of the quail.  I was taking pictures of magpies and looked the other way and there was a flock of the pretty little things.  I took a ton of pictures and this was my favorite.

I have not got to ride this past week.  It is cold and very nasty out.  The cold I can dress for but the sloppy nasty stuff, not so much.  We had 3" of snow the other night.  I could ride in it if the sky would cooperate but a big old rain storm is supposed to blow in tonight.

Last weekend I went to Yakima to the Washington State Horsemen 72nd. annual convention.    I am so previleged to be a part of such a great organization that not only has all kinds of equine activities but supposts legistation that involves all of us with animals.

I am entering Sage in an online Halter horse show put on by the National Mustang and Burro organization.  I can't remember the exact name.  I hope she does well.  I will enter her into a mares 3 - 6 and a  color class.  We will see how she does.

Blessings to you all,

Lea
