Great to see you back :)
Sounds like you had a wonderful time with Levi - very cool. Hoping your health issues resolve soon.

It is remarkable how people will go look at horses who are completely inappropriate for them. I had to work pretty hard to talk that lady out of my pony when I was still trying to sell her. I knew she’d put a kid on her too soon. I mean, what else can you do with her?
But Pres looks like a very good baby sitter. :~)
Glad you had a good ride and stayed in the saddle ;~).... Good to see you around!
Bought new colors this year. Less pink and white, more orange and red.
And I filled my three rubber feed pans with impatiens, still very small.
Also planted around my fish pond, but I haven't taken pictures of that yet. May move the fish today. :~)
Also... I'm a moron. I know when I was buying seeds I was thinking Morning Glories. I looked a blue one that I thought was just like yours, and then I picked up another couple packets of other colors and tried to decide, but when I looked at them yesterday, they were sweet peas! I don't want sweet peas.
I gave them to Rosie, along with the extra sunflower seeds. So I won't have any morning glories this year. Just as well, we may be moving the fence I wanted to plant them on. I will have two planters that will hopefully have giant sunflowers.
It seems people don’t READ ads. No where have I ever mentioned that Friday is broke to ride (she is and was a backyard horse for 10 years) so why on earth are people interested in buying her as a trail horse or an endurance horse? She is specifically advertised as a brood mare :)
Hope you have a great day - we’re on third day of rain here. Almost like we suddenly have your weather. Everything is turning green.
I really like the colors you picked. That will make some bright spots even in the shade. I can’t remember the name of those plants but I’ve always liked them. I am interested to see how they do, for some reason I thought they were kind of hard to grow.
They are Gerber Daisy’s. They come back every year around here. Don’t know abt. your climate. I would have them everywhere, but they are expensive around here. Maybe the ones I have will multiply and I can divide them.
I see it now, but never noticed.
Thanks.
Today was a busy day here, horses all got their shots and wormed, horses got worked and groomed.
We've got a woman coming out three times a week working with BamBam, Slick and Lace. Janelle will be coming out t least that often to start CJ.
CJ - with the knots out of her mane and the dirt brushed off
Slick working with a saddle on - he has the most beautiful extended trot :)
Slick learning patience.
Lace working with a saddle on - she is going to take a little longer because the woman scared the daylights out of her the first time she put the saddle on.
BamBam - getting to be a pretty good horse. She was upset today because she wasn't first and kept whinning.
And Sam - whatever the other guys are doing, he wants in on it too.
Beautiful horses. You too. The kitens got baths today and 2 went to their new homes.
Wow, you had a busy day. All your bunch looks great, especially CJ and Slick. I love their dapples. That’s a bummer about having to talk people out of buying your horses, but it’s good that you did it. Too many people don’t care who they sell a horse to, so long as they sell it. Hopefully some more suitable buyers will come along.
That’s great - are the ones left staying with you?
How did they take to the bath?
It was amazing. I was expecting a fight but they were really mellow. I took a pan of warm water outside. I didn’t wet their heads though. My DIL was watching and said it probably felt good.
Boy - this board is suddenly really slow - or maybe it’s me again.
Thanks. I really want them all to go to the right home if they have to leave here :( so I’m not real cooperative with potential buyers right now.
That’s good. Did you happen to take pictures of the process? :)
Well kind of. Cody the 5 y/o had the camera. We’ll see:’)
LOL - they are probably great pictures.
They are all beautiful. I think I am partial to CJ. I hope they all get good homes. I know how you feel.
Thanks. It seems everyone loves CJ, I think it’s her striking color. My favorite is Slick, my ugly duckling :)
