Playing with Clue

Yesterday evening I spent time playing in the yard with Clue

The other evening when we rode, I didnt even think about checking her cinch at our last stop and she was sweaty, I asked my husband and our friend stay back so I could run with just Clue, we went a pretty good ways out of their sight, as I was slowing her down and turning I felt my saddle slipping to the right side, I tried to correct it but couldnt, it happened to fast, I knew I was goin down, it was in slow motion, I tried to hold on but the saddle slipped all the way to her right side, my right foot was out but my left foot was alittle stuck, I finally kicked it out as I was goin down... landed on the ground and Clue just stood there... after I stopped laughing I jumped up and hugged her for taking care of me and not taking off with me. Then I jumped up and tried my best to get my saddle fixed before the guys caught up with me! They busted me and we all had a good laugh. 

Hanging with Fiona

Fiona my 15 month old filly... 

I brushed her, fly sprayed her, lunged her, let her eat some grass and

 just loved on her this evening. 

Evening Farm Chores and a sunset

I ran out to do evening farm chores real fast, 

I thought my Honey was taking pictures of the beautiful

 sunset we were blessed with this evening... 

He did actually take a few sunset pictures

Beautiful

Ringo and Silo at my cousins

My cousin and her husband asked if they could borrow a few goats to eat down a fenced off area in the yard, I told them they could borrow my bucks Ringo and Silo, we'd just have to find a way to get them to their place, no way I'm sticking "The Nasty Boys" in the backseat of my car.  Thanks to a good friend they got hauled over to my cousins Saturday evening. They have lots of yummy green stuff to munch down. When we put them in the area, I walked in to snap pictures, Ringo would not leave my side and followed me all over the place, I couldnt snap any good pictures, I had to step outside the fence to snap these... 

This buck really loves me and hes such a sweet, sweet boy. 

See ya in a few weeks

Meet Fancy

 Brian and I went to my friend Sarah's place yesterday and picked up my doeling, Fancy.  I think shes super cute and sweet.  You can read about the day she was born here on Sarah's blog, Life With the Goodwife: They're Here, They're Here. When we got home I put here in with the girls and their kids, she fit right in... she does keep crying out for her Momma (Star), brother and sister... it will take her a few days to really settle in. 

Tulip, Star and their kids

 Meeting the new kid...

I just love this picture of Fancy, Rolo and Cocoa

Rubies 2015 Kidding

Ruby gave birth this morning to a 7 lb. doeling, Ruby was bred to an Alpine Buck.  I am so thankful she just started labor as I went out at 5:30am to do barnyard chores, I had to help her and pull this big girl out with each contraction Ruby would have, first time I've done this, alittle scary but I knew it was something that had to be done, I dont think she could of had her on her own. I prayed the whole time.

I need to think of a name for this cutie

 Giving birth to a 7 lb. baby is hard work
