Befuddled

 My apologies  to all my blogger friends. I find I am  unable to comment on your posts! I get asked to sign  in with Google but instead it just kicks me back to the post.   I  am reading your blogs! We are going to look into ways to get online for rural applications.  We heard about the Hub, here it's  supplied by Telus. Anyone  have other ideas?

Beamer's idea is to just chill out and eat. I  hand graze him every day. 

It  has been wet here and the horse flies are bugging the horses. I guess rolling in the mud gives them  some protection.  

Sophie is enjoying  being turned out  in the herd.  She hasn't  come back in heat so I  am calling her bred. That should be a nice foal! 

Speaking of foals.....

Scooter, Belle's  son  by Root Beers Boots  is sure looking  good! 

Scooter is shedding a lot of  that black off and coming out a metallic silvery buckskin. 

Can sure see the size difference!  He is only 4 days older than Boe. Typical big Belle baby!

Here he's  hanging out with  Shayla's  stallion  Jet.

Boe is a month old now . 

It's  nice to see  the boys hanging out together  and playing. The mamas have loosened the apron strings a bit! 

More Boe pics

 I have a few  more  photos of  Boe to share. Not much news other  than all our stuff will be in storage by tomorrow  afternoon. Our cats are getting  crabby with their extended confinement!  Little do they know they had better  enjoy it  because  once we get on the farm they will have to go back to  being  barn cats  😁

He is nearly a month old (on the 20th) 

That hip! 

Not the best photo  for lighting but I liked Jayne's  tail in there.

Shayla and I were both able to scratch his butt and then he was ok with being touched. Next time I see him I  want to get a halter on him and start his kindergarten.  

So much to do yet this summer! 

 

Unexpected

 The last couple of weeks have thrown  us a couple of curve balls!

First there was the move to the monthly  rental . When Ted did the walkthrough  before signing the  contract  there was a houseful of people - landlords, tenants etc . They  were  supposedly  cleaning the place and Ted was told that the damaged floor from a leak  in the washer hose would be fixed before we moved in. So the guys hauled all our belongings  and stuffed them in the living room. We  get there June 4th and  nothing and I mean nothing  was done. The place was filthy  and the floor  was a health hazard. A closer inspection  showed may other things that should  never have been  allowed to happen.  Needless to say we gave instant notice. That left us without a place to stay. Shayla kindly let us stay in her travel trailer for a week while we figured  things out.  

We did  secure  the farm rental  (although  we haven't  signed for it yet ) but can't  move in until August  1st  . So a friend of Ted's  very kindly allowed us to use his travel trailer for the next 6 weeks! We are blessed with all the help we are getting  from our friends!

Anyway  enough  of the downer news! I went to see Boe and he is just as cute as I hoped he would be 😊  

Then there's  Belle's  colt- oh my she sure put a nice one on the ground  this year! 

 

Close inspection  says no white markings even though he has a lot of white hair, it will all shed off. 

We still have a  lot going on but will post as often  as I can. 

Mr. Lonesome

 Mr. Handsome is Mr. Lonesome these days, and he wants to tell you all about it. 

Nobody here not even chickens. I'm alllll alooooone!

Even going out in pasture doesn't cheer me up...

There's nobody to talk to!

Nope. Nobody. No girls to show off to. Harrumpfh. 

Maybe if I call a little louder?

It's useless. Nobody cares. I'm alllll alooooone! Oh woe is me!

Cheer up Beamer! We will be reuniting you with your herd by Saturday!
