If you did not know, it would appear that something catastrophic happened in our dry lot in this picture....so many horses down at the same time! It is unusual to see all of the horses sleeping at the same time. Usually, at least one stands lookout. I think they are just so relaxed and secure that they feel free to let their guard down.
Yesterday was such a dreary day...misty, drizzly, and overcast all day long. That type of weather is great for napping...and the horses took advantage of it.
I am hoping they find a nice new home....far, far, away from this location....and certainly not in the new woodshed!! Yikes!

Is there anything more delicious than a nap in the middle of the day? Actually I wouldn't know, because I never take naps! But, I do love it when the horses nap...seeing them lying down assures me that they feel safe and securein their home here...

Lazy Day/Busy Day
If you did not know, it would appear that something catastrophic happened in our dry lot in this picture....so many horses down at the same time! It is unusual to see all of the horses sleeping at the same time. Usually, at least one stands lookout. I think they are just so relaxed and secure that they feel free to let their guard down.
Yesterday was such a dreary day...misty, drizzly, and overcast all day long. That type of weather is great for napping...and the horses took advantage of it.We humans, however, spent the day cleaning out the barn and trimming trees. Oh, how delicious a nap would have been for us!
We also spent a portion of the day hauling off the wood and shingles left from tearing down our wood shed. We will eventually be replacing the old wood shed with a log structure that matches our log home. As we removed layers of old wood and shingles, we were greeted by the current occupants of the shed (who will soon be in need of a new home). It seems the woodshed was home to a family of black snakes. Here are Mama and Papa. Their babies slithered away quickly before I could snap a good picture.
I am hoping they find a nice new home....far, far, away from this location....and certainly not in the new woodshed!! Yikes!
