BEES!!! 05/29/2009
 A few days ago we noticed something hanging in a bush behind the house; after getting closer, we see it's a huge knot of BEES! Fortunately they were honeybees and not agressive. They had formed a mass about the size of a basketball and it was fairly difficult to restrain the urge to poke it and see what happens, :). They hung out until the next afternoon and then were gone. Also found a cute little tree frog underneath the bush the same day; how cool is that?     Drifter Has A New Best Friend... 05/26/2009
Ol' Joe is head-over-heels over our neighbor, Allie. Here are a few shots I got while they were bonding this weekend, and on their first ride:         Late Night Arrivals 05/13/2009
Late last night we were awakened by some friends who wondered if we were missing some horses; seems there were some found roaming the highway. They weren't ours, but since we have a sturdy corral with barn access, we took them in. We are working today to find out where they belong and what the next step is; the dark one, a mare, is in good body condition but has some front feet issues; the light one, a gelding, really needs some groceries and maybe arthritis meds. And something about that dark mare just screams 'pregnant', lol! We should know more this afternoon. Meanwhile, here are a few quick shots of the beauties:      Edit---- The owner has been located and came to pick up her babies this evening. It was a pleasure meeting you, and if you ever need anything, just let us know! Goodbye, Spike... 05/10/2009
Our little Spikey left for his new home this morning. As usual, he loaded like a dream; I'm sure he will be a perfect fit with Rosie and Dana, his new mommies. And I've been promised plenty of pictures and updates. We're really going to miss him; he was such a smart, sweet little guy, and gorgeous to boot. So goodbye, little Spikey, we'll see you again someday!  |
