What's happening here

 Ted and I climbed up to the barn loft and found the kittens. They were shy but too little to claw or run away. Pretty scared though; I'm sure with a couple of big monsters handling them!



I think I may start taking milk and canned food up to them so they are not afraid of people. Ideally, find homes for them. 

I do have some flowers blooming! Snapdragons, violets and pansy. I have a couple baskets I put together with verbena, mezoo, pansies and alyssum that are doing well.

Pansies and alyssum 

There's a change of plans with Jayne and her foal, they won't be coming here this summer. It will be too hard on Jayne and she is in a good spot with plenty of pasture and not having to move around much. So her and little Shiner (her colt) will stay with Shayla, but I will visit and get some photos.
Theo is getting blacker all the time. His neck and face are really shedding, and he lets me brush him so I am trying to speed up the process!


He's super friendly, always comes to greet me and loves to have his face and neck rubbed. 

I have a softer brush that I use on his face. I started working on his feet with the rasp, but I have to get Ted to help hold him as he is in that nippy colt stage. He's not sure about Ted! I just do a couple of swipes with the rasp and let him go. 


On Thursday June 20 he will be 2 months old. I'm sure happy with him! Now to find his person.... 

I should have updates on the Beamer sons and daughter who are rope horses sometime this week, stay tuned!
