Snow Geese!

A heard them come in!

The noise was deafening!

It made me walk about,

 and when I looked up,

 The sky was loaded with Snow Geese!

 It was a sight to behold, 

and one I had never seen.

 But I think the snow geese were confused, 

because they were headed due WEST!

Mother Nature is just awesome! 

The Day After Halloween!

Star: Uh Oh! I smell Trouble!

 Yep! It is trouble all right! There is some scary things on that stump!

I need to save my rope!

 Those scary Objects are going to ATTACK!

Buddy: Peaches! You didn't run Fast Enough!

 Peaches: What do you expect from short legs?

 Buddy: I just can't look at you! There is a black blob on your head and you look totally silly!

 Peaches: How is this one? It blends better with my hair coloring.

Libby: Fine! I will entertain mother for you kids!  I actually think I look good in Orange.

Purple? But not so much the cone head thing.

 Okay! I don't need the toupe! I am NOT bald!

 But the blond locks I think work fabulous! 

Thhhhhh! There! NOW can I have my cookies!?

 Buddy:  Ok, This is as far as I am going to let that Orange thing get!

 Black suits me just fine! Blends with my stripe!

 You are NOT, I repeat, NOT going to turn me into a cone head!

Are we done yet? I know Libby and Peaches got some cookies!

 Earlier in the day I had gone and purchased some pumpkins.

Read where they were good for equines.

Well I tossed it out.

Rolled like a bowling ball!

Picked it up and threw it hard on the ground.

Landed with a thud.

On the third try, it finally broke open.

All the while Buddy standing there watching me.

When it broke open, Libby, Peaches and Star sniffed.....

Turned their noses up and walked away.

Buddy was the only one that ate any of it.

 Evidenced by his orange nose here.

 This is the most kissable nose and cheeks ever! 

 This is a conversation between Buddy and Star in that she is telling Buddy that she did not have to model anything because she would not stand still and would not let anything get near her!

I am HOPING, Buddy was telling her it was alright and she had nothing to fear!

ONE GOOD NOTE WITH STAR: I did walk her out the gate and to the trailer!

Second time of being out of the pasture!

There were cookies at the trailer!

Baby steps! Baby Steps!

This is Buddy! 

He is the best Donkey Ever!

Star is a good little girl, and has the best Bray Ever!

Peaches is so wonderful, and is the best Pony Ever!

And Libby, well She is just the best HORSE EVER!

Men and their Shoes!

Nothing excites him more

 THAN....

 A NEW pair of boots!

Another Halloween gone by!

When middle son posted he was going to be the Wolverine, I thought....ummm Okaay!

Then I googled it. (That bitch knows EVERYTHING!)

WOW!

It has been awhile!

And so sorry for that. I am going to try to do much better at keeping my blog up to date. 

Life has been quite crazy as of late. I have two part time jobs and they keep me pretty busy.

I have not gotten to ride Libby as much as I wanted to this year because of this. But I do keep up my weekly riding lessons. 

A couple weekends ago the Umatilla Sage Riders had a play day. I waited all year to take Libby and I did! 

We had a blast! First even was barrels. We began at a trot, and while going around the second barrel, Libby wanted to go one way but I directed her to go the other! Stupid me, broke pattern! I should of listened to my horse! Instead she listened to me, the good girl that she is! When we finished the third barrel, I pointed her to home and boy did she open up! I just hung on for the ride, and it was fantastic! Mostly because I did not fall off! 

We did speed barrels, poles, stake race, and another activity that escapes me right now. I know I had a ton of fun, and want to do more play days. 

I painted up Libby the day before and she was so pretty. But over night she faded to half the brightness of color. She was still pretty for the play day though.

I tried to put eye lashes on but they would not stick. Her lips are only half on and she had eaten that off over night. It tickled to much for her to hold still to do the other side. She tried to be good but it was just to much for her.

Hubby took a few pictures but he doesn't know his camera has a zoom lens, so I am a dot in the landscape.

We are flying like the wind!

Libby likes to walk over obstacles. 

I

I had a lot of fun. Libby thought it was a lot of work! I could not ask for a better horse! 

We have our trailering issue worked out, and I think there are more trips in our future!
