- Ice Cream Makes Everything Better!
Ahhhh....the good with the bad.Is it possible that I am being tested right now?Actually, I know not. Because for most part, the good always outweighs the bad around here. But, still....it is Tuesday morning (yesterday for you) and I am sitting...
- Good Night!
The sun has set.It's almost time for bed.(Yes, we go to bed rather early on the farm.) Before our day is finished, though, we have one last set of chores to do.And most evenings, Bobby shows up at the house for a ride back to the barn. It's tuck-in...
- Together At Last!
I have been hesitant to put the "Bigs" and the "Littles"together in the same pasture to graze...fearing for the safety of my tiny horses. That is until the other day, when I took the Bigs to the upper pasture and heard the cries ofthe Littles as...

So much of farm life is ritual. There are certain chores that are done every day and every evening....without exception. No matter what the weather, the chores must be done. After all, there are little lives that depend upon us to meet their needs. And...
- Getting Along Famously!
The "littles" , as I call them, are getting along with each other quite well. Actually, they love, love, love each other! They are spending a good part of the day in the pasture beside the "bigs". Sadly, the "bigs" are both on a weightloss program...they...

Sleep Tight.....
One of my favorite times of day is late evening...
"tuck-in" time for the horses.
They have their fly masks removed
(yes, even Scarlet is leaving her fly mask on these days!)
and have their bedtime meal....
a yummy flake of hay for each.
After feeding the Bigs, I sat down for a visit with the Littles.
Red and Ollie have matured into the sweetest horses.
As soon as I enter their lot,
they head over to see me.
They come when they are called,
and since their gelding, their manners are impeccable.
These two have been together since they were very very young.
There seems to be no competition between them for anything.
They are inseparable.
Out of all the horses, they are Oakley's favorite.
Even TomTom is quite comfortable lying next to them as they eat.
A good night kiss for Ollie and the evening comes to a close...
"Good night boys, sleep tight....see you bright and early in the morning."
And by the way, aren't these nostrils a bit too big for such a small horse?
