Moxie Update

It was my good fortune to go on a ride this week- end where I was lucky enough to see Moxie. She has been in her new home for a month or so now. As much as I regret letting her go, it definitely was the right decsision.

After watching Moxie on the trails for a few hours I was really questioning that decision ,she is absolutely brilliant I was so proud of her. Moxie is all business and really enjoys her job. I believe she is enjoying everything about her move. Moxie was the underdog here, all the other horses just hated her and always kept her from the group. I always felt sorry for her because she had no friends and spent most of her time by herself. The fella that owns her now has Mules and Moxie is ruling the roost, she has put them in their place and she is loving every minute of it.
It would appear that Moxie has finally found her niche,I am so happy that she has finally settled into what has proven to be her forte. It hurt my feelings a bit that she doesn't miss me....I'll get over it. Moxie has picked her person and seems to be a lot happier where she is, her new owner appears to be happy with her too. Alls well that ends well.

It's a Dog's Life

This is Sage with her favorite toy.

This is Sage .....not looking any to sweet.....Tucker thinks he is going to have her toy.
Having given up on the toy Tucker has decided to go to his man toy instead.
It's no wonder Sage is not too keen on sharing her toys....Tucker has ruined every toy she has.....I wouldn't want to share either.

Sunday Challenge "The Color Red"

Bye Bye to this implement for another season thank goodness.Spring is here at last.............I'm cheating this is in my Greenhouse not outside.....yet
Brand new paint job on the fire hydrant. I have to say it's an improvement, the hydrants in this town were all painted with bavarian type faces etc....they were quite odd....I think the powers that be thought it was quaint......not!!!!!but that's just my opinion.
This one was hard,I had a tough time catching it unfurled of course the wind wasn't helping.


Tucker and the Quad. He wasn't all that keen on having his picture taken...he looked everywhere except at me.

Just Another Day On The Farm

Boys and their toys. Dave was going to go and harrow the field.....but he found some die hard snow and went ahead and got stuck in it. I got a good chuckle but I got an even better one when he got himself out and I took this picture.

The fields look so much better now...all clean and tidy, now we just need some grass to grow.


Friends having their dinner together. And here's Dave and his friend Tucker having a moment of relaxation. Ahh!!! just another day day on the farm.

And that's it for this post. I'm looking forward to this weeks challenge hope to see you on Sun.

Sunday Challenge" Animal Husbandry"

In the distance you can see the Fence Maintenance Crew
Leaping from the rock we have Pest Management in action.

Looking relaxed .....she's not really......Herd Control and if the pest controller gets any closer she may have a go at that too. What you can't see in the pic is Sage's ears, she is very tuned in even though she looks zoned out.
In this pic you can see all the upper management taking a break. They all hold such important stressful jobs that the breaks are numerous.

Sage In Motion

Ok you guys this is my first attempt at actual motion. I have been doing more things with my camera ever since discovering the Sunday Challenges, this is thanks to Shirley over at Ride A Good Horse. Shirley's blogs have inspired me to be more committed to keeping mine updated and also her abilities with a camera awe me. I have no illusions of being that good with the little contraption, however I have been trying harder to get better pictures. To all the bloggers out there that participate in the Sunday Challenges I find your photography skills and your creativity mind boggling with that said hope to see you all on Sunday.

Feeding Time

Shirley from Ride A Good Horse came for a little visit and while she was here she took a short video. For some reason when I do that mine won't upload, let's see if hers did. I have tried a number of times to get a video up and to no avail. We will see if she has the magic touch here too. Well I guess she does. Now will it play........
