Getting Close

Sundown let Lisa get close to her and Arizona today.








Heidi wanted a snack so I took her some alfalfa cubes.

I got the gate installed today. We put this fence across the front to keep the large hoofed creatures off of the cars.

Born Yesterday

It's hard to believe something so young can get around so well. Sundown still keeps her distance so we haven't got close yet. We'll probably need to corral them. Below are four of the pictures I took today. If you're tired of looking at extremely cute horse pictures then you might not want to follow this link. I posted all 50 of the pics in another web album.

Baby Update

Guess what we've been doing all day? If you guessed watching a cute little baby horse frolic around the pasture, you'd be correct. We are thinking it's a filly. Sundown still keeps between us and the baby but we think we saw pee coming out the back which is a sign of femaleness. Also when I was taking these pictures I could see her underside a little and it looks smooth under there. We'll let them settle down then try and get close again tomorrow. See additional pictures in the album here.

Baby Mini!

Sundown had her baby some time last night. The baby is less than a day old in these pictures. We haven't got close enough to determine gender but we'll post again when we find out. Mom and baby both seem fine.

Spring Day

The weather was beautiful today. I was working but went out a few times to take pictures.

The girls were sitting in the shade watching Lisa brush the horses. She hung up the hummingbird feeders too.

Andy hung up a few more bird houses. The birds investigated right away. The Locust trees are in full bloom. The little plot in front of Buddha is the strawberries.

The garden has some weeds but it is doing well. The spinach is the only thing doing poorly. We think maybe it got too much water in all the rain we've had.

Angry Grass

pitchfork

The lawn got somewhat out of control. Every day I had off it was raining or too muddy to mow so it got really long. We had to rake up all the clippiings because they were sticking to the girls and turning their legs green.

Bahloo's Road Trip

 Bahloo got on the road today. She's on her way down to Florida to live with Cathryn in Jay. She needs to be with her mom. The horse hauling people were very nice and had a nice trailer and truck. The whole thing riled everybody up. Heidi was racing around kicking her heels. Sundown was anxious and got out of the gate when Andy was carrying Bahloo’s gear out.  The cows were mooing and the sheep were baa-ing. Quite a ruckus.
