Hello all! I hope everyone is doing well. I haven't posted in a couple months, things have been super busy around here, and I just needed a break from blogging!
It has been extremely hot and dry here, but we finally got some much needed rain last night and more expected this week, thank goodness.
We have all our hay up and are ready for winter! We have been feeding hay already for the past month, usually the cattle and horses can get by on just pasture until about November, but with the terribly dry and hot weather, the grass is long gone.
All our animals are doing fine, we did sell 4 of our mules, the two black pair, John Boy, Billy, Thomas, and Tobe. We had too many and they went to homes where they will be used more than they were here, so it's all good, but I hated to see them go!
I will just post a bunch of pictures for the rest of the post, some random, some of the trail ride we went on yesterday, and some of the dogs, enjoy!
Ruby Jane, sittin' on the hay.......
Riding at our farm in the hayfield...........
Gunner was so funny....this was only his 2nd trail ride, so he kept looking behind him whenever we stopped to make sure Dior (the horse I was riding) was still behind him, LOL.....I was so proud of him though, he did great on this ride, he is gonna be an awesome trail mount!.....
Here, we are riding through the pine thicket.....my favorite place on the farm.......
The trails were beautiful yesterday..........
Ugggg....we went through a field of beggar lice, so the horses were covered in them. I had to comb them off when we got back to the trailer.....Gunner even had them all over his face, and in his nose and muzzle!........
Heading back down the hill to the trailer........
Stopping at the creek to get a drink.........
Dior resting at the trailer........
This is me, picking the beggar lice off of Gunner's nose and muzzle.......
Terry, standing at the creek, looking at the land......
And here is Greta...in the driver's seat as usual, LOL.....I swear, if they ever make it legal for dogs to get their driver's license, Greta would be the first in line!!........
Ralphie, nappin' in the birdbath underneath the window........
And, last but not least, a close up of Greta's funky face.....I love that dog!.......
