Good morning,

We hang heat lamps over the foaling stalls but they aren't going to touch the cold we're having right now. We've got two large ones hung over the rabbits in the garage and it's barely 30 degrees under them when I checked this morning.

Now - is that Pony's breath or the ghost we saw when Cyn made her "I'm outa here" exit from the barn.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, hopefully you can find away to keep yourselves and the babies warm out there.

Now - is that Pony's breath or the ghost we saw when Cyn made her "I'm outa here" exit from the barn.

That's the question, isn't it. I didn't see it until I looked at the picture... it's maybe one of those "only shows up in pictures" kind of ghosts :~)

Hope everybody had a good Christmas.

Just thought I'd let y'all know that I bought my gray horses full brother over the Christmas holiday. He's about 3 months shy of 2 and had a halter on him for the first time on the day that I went to look at him. I think that he'll turn out a lot like his bro who has turned into one helluva horse.

Of course, I won't see him for a while because I took an assignment back in Florida and I'm way the hell down here in Homestead. He's still out at the farm where he was foaled. They're going to cut him, let him heal up and deliver him in a few weeks, so next time I'm home I should be able to take some pics.

Y'all be good.

I ain't 'fraid o no ghosts!

[proud_2_B_texasgal]

Ewwwwwwwwwww, Homestead, I'm sorry .. hehe.. At least you are having weather in the 80's .. lol

[proud_2_B_texasgal]

BTW, I took the nerdy-quiz and scored a 4. Yes a ( 4 ) FOUR ... LOL

It told me I was probably pretty cool .. hehehe

[FrogInABlender]

Hey, Congrats on the new hoss! Sounds like you'll have your work cut out for you trying to keep 3 horses worked. Believe me, I know how that is! I'm looking forward to the pics.

[HairOfTheDog]

We had a good Christmas here, it's the rest of the winter that's been hard to bear :~\

We look forward to pics of your new guy :~)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I took a few pictures of some more birds. They are really flocking to the feed. They must really be having trouble finding enough to eat. A male downey woodpecker.

And a Northern Flicker Woodpecker.

I like the one of Bay looking around the tree:)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Sounds like you had a good Christmas:)

So what's his name?

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Becky those are just beautiful bird pics :~) Keep them coming!

[FrogInABlender]

Those are really great bird pics! I've GOT to get a camera with a zoom like that.

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeah - me too. I tried to take some pics to show how ~many~ birds were around our feeder too, but I scare 'em all off trying to get close enough to get the picture. They come back when I go inside.

[FrogInABlender]

Hey, I just realized that the Northen Flicker is the Alabama state bird. I'd always heard it called the Yellow Hammer, but I thought it looked familiar so I Googled state birds and they are the same thing. Cool!

A 4! Do you have to get somebody to log in for you? :O

[cowboyway]

So what's his name?

Don't know. He hasn't been registered yet so I have to give him a registered name and something will pop up out of that, I guess.

[squarebarb]

Real snow is coming down here, big fluffy flakes. First time in about eighteen years.

Yes the birds here are desperate for food, they need it to keep their body temperature up. I am also pouring hot water into the bird bath so they can get a drink, it is freezing repeatedly.

Good pictures!

I have a pair of orioles, lots of sparrows, r3edbirds and blue scrubjays.
