A Sweet Visit

This morning my sweet friend Kim stopped by with her grandchildren on their way back to Eureka, Montana. Only God and I know how much I have missed her since she moved. She lived down the road from us here. I was so thrilled to see her. I don't think I had even combed my hair.

Her lovely grandchildren. The wind was blowing and it was cold but they were good sports about getting their pictures taken. Tame' is 10, Damion is 11 and T'Kaya is l3. Love them and their mama Miranda. Sure would like to see her too.

Kim and the kids. They will have fun together next week.

It was a great time to see her again. She says she will come over and bring one of her horses and ride with us this summer. I hope so. She has two of Ditto's boys KC and Sam.

I am concerned about my friend Andrea that lives down in the Potlatch, Idaho area and they are having some massive flooding. Hope they are on higher ground. Roads are washing out around here. Its awful and according to the TV Weather forecasters we have at least another 4 or 5 days of this. It is so dreary.

I was looking out the window this morning when Bob was putting Sage out. Just as they came out the barn door the wind picked up a bucket and blew it right in front of them. She freaked out a bit and ran around Bob snorting. He got her settled down and picked up the bucket and let her smell it. She was OK after that. It was kind of funny to watch as long as I wasn't the one leading her. The wind subsided this late afternoon some. It was pretty hard. I did not sleep well. I thought we might end up in Kansas.

Thank you Kim for coming by.

Blessings.

Every Raindrop Is A Record

Quite a few years ago when we were in Tennessee we took the tourist tour and went to the hall of fame. We have been in Tennessee many times but don't do the touristy things except once in a while go house looking.

It is raining, it is raining or did I say that. Every drop that falls is a record dose of rain for the month of March. It is supposed to do this all week long. We are up to our knees in mud and muck. I hate the horses being in it but no place for them to go. It really is miserable.
Our weather may not be so nice but Bob took this picture in 2004 when he went into the Bob Marshall wilderness. I don't know which river but it sure is pretty.

Cricket in Mississippi. She is a well traveled horse. When she left here she went to Massachusetts where Caroline lived. Then they took her to Mississippi when they moved there. That is where I took this picture. Now she is in northern Tennessee where they have moved again. Carrie is now in college in Mississippi so I don't know where Miss Cricket will end up. They won't sell her though. I am positive about that.

The feet of a hard working man.

We had a Mustang Club meeting this evening. Everyone made it except Andrea. We miss her. Our club is going riding and camping in two weeks down at Escure Ranch which is about 2 1/2 hrs. away. We are all excited. It better quit raining by then.

I am wondering about starting an ark but haven't heard God tell me yet.

Peanut Arrives

His name is Peanut Butter Cup. That is as bad as Coyote Ice Cream. Well that turned into Cody and we will call him Peanut. His mother is a QH, dad is a Mustang. These people really don't get it, he is still a baby. I doubt that he is more than a year and a half. He really has no respect or manners and he is going to learn them here.
I really don't like horses to walk over me. He will given the chance. We will see what the people want to do. Let us work with him and sell him or what.

ATTENTION and so what is that about. Tiger didn't get what the dogs were doing.

Both babies eating. Hershey eats good with some guidance.

Friends. They were more cuddled up until I went to take the picture.

Not much else today.

Blessings

Another baby for Candy

We have neighbors who have a dairy and they do not keep bull calves so we are on their list. Hershey was born late yesterday and he came here this morning. He and Snickers are getting acquainted.

Bob teaching him to eat. One thing getting them from the dairy they never have sucked on Mom. The colustrum is milked twice and fed in a bottle and away they go.

He caught on pretty fast. We tie Candy up for a few days before we turn them together. We fed at 8 and Bob will feed about 5. She is a good cow and we can always give her a tag along because she has so much milk.

This tractor is for sale. Bob wants $1,100 for it. It is not big enough for what we need.

Ezra was not happy with us this evening. I am not sure why. We didn't put him out because the weather was so nasty. He dug a big hole pawing at the gate. We wormed him yesterday and in 2 weeks once more and then he should be set for the normal routine of worming.

We went and looked at a young horse. He is aggresive and no respect. We are going to get him tomorrow and see what we can do. They said a pony but he is not a pony.

Is It Spring??????????????????????

Well is it? We woke up to 6" this morning and it is supposed to snow tonight.

Last New Baby

This is Snickers. He was born late this afternoon. He was very friendly. That is Ronni behind him. We thought it was a he but naw, he is a she and I just changed the spelling on her name.

Topper as of today. A curious little girl

Lola born on the 9th.

So that is our cows. We will get another calf to put on Candy with Snickers. She always has plenty for two. It shows her dairy bloodline. This is her first bull calf. She has always just had heifers. She will take as many calves and we put on her. She nurses the entire group of babies at one time or the other.

I know my blog is supposed to be after mustang horses but it seems I get sidetracked with our other critters too.

Blessings

First Day of Spring - Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is what we woke up to for the first day of spring. It did not make me happy. Then it rained and then it snowed, and then it rained and then it hailed. We are supposed to wake up to more snow in the morning. No way to get out and ride or even to do ground work.

So such was my grumpy day.

Blessings.
