The ladies

 The warm weather made me want to bring Gussie out for a good grooming. I am not quite ready for riding yet- the mind is willing but the body says not yet- but getting her out of the pasture and away from Velvet seemed like a good thing to do.  It also gave me a chance to work on her being patient. She  tends to paw when she gets bored from standing tied. 

Here we have the many faces of Gussie..


The crooked nostril look of disapproval...

The do I have to stand tied look...

Resigned... (and my version of a selfie)


Just chillin' in the sun...

and, Are we done yet???

Then there is Velvet, who does not seem to be getting any bigger. I compared these 2 photos, the second one is from December. So who knows, it is still a maybe. 



The other lady here is the barn cat, Misty. Yesterday it was pretty obvious she is in heat. 

Ollie, Tom and Harley, all lined up

She has the boys lined up seeking her favours. Today there is a lot of yowling going on, so I think its a safe bet that mid May I will have to see where the kittens will be.


Ollie is the front runner  for baby daddy

If all three are successful  it could be a colorful litter!

it was nice enough to open the screens and even heard the birds singing. 😊

I don't know, but Velvet sure could be carrying...I guess we will just wait and see!

My mud balls are enjoying the warm weather.

Gussie <3 I always enjoy your reflective eye shots! Looks like a baby belly to me, but if nothing is moving/changing than maybe not. Time will tell.

Velvet looks awfully big. I sure hope she’s pregnant. Gussie looks great.
