Quite a relaxing Sunday

May 2nd Photo Challenge picture - Broken. It is isn't it. The snow took it down winter before last when we had 82 inches of snow.
The wind was pretty brisk this afternoon and it made Sage pretty jittery. I was blowing things around and shaking the roof. In the picture I am rubbing the stick on her "bad" side. She likes it once I got her to let me over there. I could have touched her on that side if the wind had not been blowing and causing a commotion. She gets better every day when I go in with her. She went a little nutsy at first but now she just looks at me. Bob is still the one working with her and the rope. She gets pretty belligerent sometimes with the rope.

Lindy is doing a little better I think. She still is pretty lame. She really likes attention. The round pen is much more pleasing to her than the stall.

A puddle of baby kitties. Neither mom was there when I went to take the picture but as soon as she hear me she was there in seconds and telling me to keep hands off.

I went to church this morning and then took myself to breakfast at the European Breakfast Hause. There were a lot of people waiting ahead of me but because I was along they asked if I would like to sit at the coffee bar. I told the man if I could eat there and he said I could so I got right in.

When I got home I took a nap and lazed around the rest of the day. Bob got home and he came down to take some pictures of me with Sage. We did chores and then he went to pick up a couple of steers.

Have a good day tomorrow

Blessings.

Lots of babies

This is my picture for May 1 photo challenge. The word was sign.

This is our new baby born about 4 this afternoon. Is nameless yet because I don't know if its a he or a she. The white is its tail. Everything else is black. Very cute. Bob also bough a black and white steer calf to put on Candy along with Snickers. I named him Licorice. Now if she just will take him along with Snickers we will all be happy. For some reason the picture of him would not upload to the blog. Oh well.

The kitty babies and mom. Fluffy gets mad when we look in there at them. There is a little white one crawling up Fancy's back.

Our weather was goofy today. Rain hail and sun. Sometimes all in a five minute period. It even thundered this afternoon late. I love rainbows. They remind me of God's love for us.

For those in the mustang club, I got ahold of George today and he will come do the two hour demo on the 26th. I think that's the date of the demo's anyway. His horse was done in 6 weeks I asked him several times and he said he swore it was. And the horse is from South Steens and is 15 hands tall. For all who don't know what I am talking about this guy is up in Colville. He sent me a dvd of his horse. It is utterly amazing the things he did in that amount of time with that horse. He will do the demo at Mustang Days which is the last weekend in June at Busy Bee Equestrian Center. Put it on your calendars.

I hope you all saw that Andrea from Mustang Saga won the April giveaway. I haven't quite got the box ready but will have it ready soon.

Have a blessed Sunday

Naughty Girl

I was so glad that Katie was here to take a picture of a real two armed hug around her neck. In two weeks and one day. She just relaxes and leans into me.

I tried really had today to get on her other side but nothing doing. I was scratching and rubbing her neck on both sides, she dropped her head lower and lower until her nose was even with my thigh. She was trying to rub on me but I moved away a bit and she kept trying to rub on my leg and she bit me. A big bite. I have a large bite shaped bruise on my thigh. I don't think she meant to hurt me I think she was doing a horse thing and going to scratch my leg. Horses do that with their teeth to one another. I jumped back and yelled and waved my arms and told her that was bad and I left her to think about it and came to the house to look at my leg. We will get back at it tomorrow but I will watch her mouth for sure.

Katie working with Liberty. She just needs reminding of all those things she learned with Tyler. Such a good horse.

The two mamas. Fancy had 5 babies too so there are 10 babies in that same nest. The mama's just stay there cuddled up together. I have never seen anything like it. Has anyone else seen that?

I went and got my hair cut this evening. I sure like it and my head feels 10 pounds lighter. Now to see if I can make it look nice like this on my own. Just could not stand the headache causing long hair. Braiding it was my aim but just could not stand it. Bob is worrying that it won't help my headaches and my hair will be gone. They will go though, every time I get my hair about that long the headaches start.

If any of you are not on Facebook and see the Nikki wants to have a photo challenge. A photo a day for the month of May. The first word is sign. I know what I am going to photograph. Not telling either. LOL. I will post it tomorrow.

Hope your First day of May is an awesome day.

Blessings.

Kitties kitties everywhere

This is what Bob found when he went to the barn this morning. There are five babies cuddled under all that fluff. This is Fluffy.
These are Fluffy's babies.

And this is what we found this evening. These two sisters were dumped off here when they could barely toddle. Now they have babies in the same nest. Have never seen anything like it. Bob went to water the donks and wanted to check on Fluffy and her gang and this is what he found. Fancy is the smaller of the two and her babies are in there too. Is that not a picture?

We had our Mustang Club meeting tonight. A very good meeting. Anyone want to make a donation of a saddle for high point. I got made fun of by Bob for thinking so big. Maybe a belt buckle or a breast collar. Anything really. I am so encouraged that everyone is pitching in and wants to help. YaY all of you.,

Remember tonight and tomorrow night are the end of my give away. I will give the winner Saturday the 1st. Thanks to all who have commented. And Thanks to everyone who read this little gabfest and don't comment. I know you are there because I see the count rising.

Sage was good today. Andrea and Laura came to visit her and she is not overly fond of visitors. Most days it is just she and I and that is what she is used to. Mary is coming on Monday to visit so she had better get used to it. Katie is coming out to work horses tomorrow so she will be putzing around and that will be good for her.l

Thats it for today.

Blessings.

Wind, wind go away and take the grey skies with you

A nasty very cool day outside and I am still fighting this miserable headache. Did do some laundry and stuff like that. I had intended to get out and spade up my raised garden boxes but that didn't happen. I did not feel like it nor did I want to do it in the wind and rain.

I did go spend time with Sage today. We didn't really do anything much different but I did scratch and scratch her. Under her chin and under her mane are her sweet spots. She just drops her head and leans into me. Today I stood with my forehead on her neck for quite a while and she just let me. I could use the stick on her other side if I stayed standing on her left side. I could reach under her neck and scratch her shoulder and neck on that side too but she won't let me stand over there. She is learning to give to the rope pretty well but I wouldn't say she was leading just yet. She is more relaxed when I am handling her this past 2 weeks (tomorrow) than Rusty is after 2 years. Rusty would no more let me rest my head against her than fly.

You can't tell that I love my horse can you? I just knew that was my horse the first glance I had of her. Some time I will blog about my dream before we ever went to Burns. I am not big on going by dreams but...........................

Tomorrow evening is our Mustang Horse Club meeting. We will be planning Mustang Days the end of June. I really like that group of people.

My headache and I are off to bed.

Blessings

It rained buckets

My beautiful girl. I did not get to do much with her today because it rained buckets and then more. Her pen was a muddy mess. I did walk in and touch her without the stick and petted her cheek. She just turned her head to me and relaxed. Almost a hug from her. I can't even tell you how wonderful that feels to me.

These pictures are all from my new camera. Of course the battery and cards and charger all had to be purchased too. It will take some getting used to but I love it.

The rest of the pictures are mostly cow pictures.

All but this one. This is Buggy sitting on the goat house roof.
Supper. Snickers and Candy. Snickers has such a feminine little face.

Amos having his supper too. Annie is a good mom. Quite a contrast in color huh?

Snickers just up from a nap.

I had to look a while to find her. She was laying so quietly where her mom had left her.

Some how got two of the same pictures here. This is Lizzie. She is probably a month out from having her baby.

Amos watching me. He is a little skittish.

A long day. I have struggled with a headache for several days. I let my hair down this evening and it let up. I wanted it to grow so I could braid it but don't think it can happen. Tried before but it didn't work then either. Makes me sad.

Went shopping today for some clothes that I wanted for my trip and a new wallet. Now I am off to bed.

Blessings
