- Pond Happenings
I make several trips to our pond each day...first thing in the morning,to let the ducks out, last thing at night to close them back in,and occasional trips in between with the dogs. Each and every time I arrive at the pond,seven wild ducks fly away. They...

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...

Teenager Troubles
Thursday evening (last night)....
Bigs in their dry lot,
Littles in theirs.
Scarlet still in the pasture,
alone.
Planned?
Not!
Our Miss Scarlet has a mind of her own.
"NO!! I don't wanna come in!!"
Put on a fly mask?
NO!!
Come in from the pasture?
NO!!
She stomps her feet, turns on her heels and
throws her little temper tantrum.
I have to admit....I am ready to throw in the towel.
Our good friend Nancy, who gave Scarlet to us,
I'm sure will take Scarlet back into her herd.
We think she needs another mare around her to put her in her place.
Obviously, I won't do!
To be continued.......
And here is our cute baby picture of the day....
Off to the duck pond for a walk...
Oh those ducks...they have a mind of their own, too.
They have stopped going back into their hut on their own
each evening.
That means that each evening around 8:30 Grammie and Grampie
have to do the canoe round-up on the pond.
Silly ducks!
