Life on the Farm

Life is getting easier these days since the temperatures don't stay below freezing all day and all night. It is easier to just turn on water hoses instead of having to thaw them first.

We have another calf and two more cows looking like they will calve any day now.

The horses are happy with the weather getting a little better. They actually think they see grass and are eating like it is real.

Yesterday my sister and friends came to visit and for lunch. She had made a hummingbird cake and it was delicious. I really enjoyed the guests. Especially since they thought my horses are really beautiful and loved their temperments. Of course the Mountain Horses mostly stood by the fence waiting for adorning fans to find the itchy spots and give them a good scratching.

My guests all were very cooperative and loved on them and scratched their itchy spots. Then we went to see the yearlings. They were all about the attention. Then they put on a little show of running back and forth in the lot to the joy and delight of my guests.

It was a very beautiful and satisfying day with good food and good company and a delightful weather day.
