Not much ado!

Pretty quiet on the home front. Rain has let up, but more in the forecast- but I'm happy it isn't snow; especially when I can take pictures like this:
Tess was happy to pose for me! 
Elk hunting season is over, and I didn't get out as much as I hoped to, and as a result I didn't get my elk. I guess the old set of antlers from my first elk that I put in my garden will have to do for this year.

We have another auction to work in 2 weeks, an estate auction of a wood working shop and all it's equipment. The weekend after that is Cowboy Christmas fundraiser dinner, auction and dance in Jaffray (2 hours from here) and Ted will be the auctioneer at that. It's always a fun time, but we haven't been to it for quite a few years. Hope I can remember how to dance!
So far it looks like all 3 of my mares are in foal, so be prepared for a triple foaling contest sometime in February.
They are all due quite close together, so it's going to be interesting. If Gussie has a blue colt, it's spoken for, if Coyote Belle has a filly I'm keeping it, and someone is interested in Chickory's foal. Should be a fun filled spring coming up!

Oh I absolutely love the photo of Tess the yellow leaves and her beautiful black and white it is beautiful.
Wow three little colts running around that will be fun. I should have some calves by then too.

Sure like the pic of Tess she sure shows up in the yellow leaves. I am not much of a dancer I think I have 2 left feet (or maybe 3, lol)

I think Tess' picture is spectacular! She must have known how well the fall leaves set off her black and white coat!
