Not An April Fool

Bob looked out our bedroom window and low and behold, there were 3 horses in our yard eating. The wind had blown the panels over. This is Peanut. He was chomping away at the green grass that has sprung up.
And, Rusty and Cody eating away too. Bob went down and fixed the panel and they went right back where they belonged.

Peanut came right up to us and said HI. This new grass is good. Then he ran right after the other two. No big trauma for anyone. I know they had not been out there long. I had looked within the half hour but they were sure happy to have the grass.

Sage and Ditto in the back ground wishing they were out there with them.

On the 23rd. I will have been blogging 4 years. Everyone who comments between now and then will win a prize. It will be a surprise but you will like it. Everyone who comments will get their name and I will draw after 5 our time on the 23rd.

God played an April Fool joke on us. When we left for church it was snowing. It turned to a real downpour. This afternoon was clear though. Tomorrow is predicted no rain so maybe I can ride. That would be great.

Blessings

Good Bye March

My latest crocheted rug. Its for sale. 50.00 plus 5.00 shipping unless you are local. It is 5' by 28". I finished it yesterday. Sure would like to sell it.
An awful picture of Sage. He head is not that large nor her body that small. In a break in our weather today I brought her in and tried to get some of the mud off of her. She seemed to like it but I am sure she rolled in it again when I turned her back out. That seems to be a favorite.

Our old Maggie. She lays like that in her bed. She is such a good old girl.

Knobby is our newest calf. He is just going to be a bottle baby. He is a cutie isn't he.

Hershey wondering what I was doing.

Can't remember what Katie calls this kitty. He is a nice kitty but not tame.

I am not going to be sad that March is already over. The weather has been dreadful. I guess April is going to start out the same. My mares are tired of being stalled so much but they have no shelter. We turned Peanut out with Rusty and Cody today. They seem to be tolerant of the young guy.

Blessings,

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.

Blessings

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