My weekend


We were blessed with beautiful weather this weekend, and since Ted is working out of town for a bit we did a lot of work around the place. Beamer's pen got cleaned, Ted started and then I took over for a while- yes, I got to play on the tractor!


Ted just getting off the tractor so I could run it.
It's a Kubota, not nearly as nice to run as a John Deere, but it got the job done. I turner B-boy out in the pasture while we cleaned his pen, and he had a lot of fun ripping around.

Would you stand still while he's coming straight at you?
The grass is really starting to come now, and I'm taking the girls out to nibble grass a little every day. Remember that dandelion blossom?

It's history.

Well Shirley, knowing what a good boy Beamer is ,I am bettin he would have stopped. But then there is the traction issue! He looks terrific. And Chickory(?) looks like she is making short work of the dandelion issue

Nothing symbolizes freedom more beautifully than a horse running unrestrained in the open:0)

Beamer did that twice for me;he galloped to the far end of the field, then came straight towards me. I didn't have the camera on video the first time, so he obligingly went back and did it again. I swear, he'd be a great horse to put in the movies, because he will perform like that and waits for his praise. He's a camera hog.
That's Sparkles pretty little nose.

I actually cleaned the horses shed this weekend also, boy was it a mess, you leave it one day and it gets away with you fast. I wish we were seeing green grass, but it will come. Tractor sure does make things go alot faster.

Sure rub it in why dontcha. We are melting but it is sure slow going. We still have snow here. I can't hardly contain myself waiting to get out there and clean up the mess.....and boy is it a mess.

The video is just awesome! He's a STAR! He could play Black Beauty or any gorgeous black horse in any movie.
