It’s foaling season and since I don’t have any breeding mares, we’re taking a field trip back to Moon Beam Farm today!!! Meet Naomi the baby donk!! She was born last Thursday night. Congratulations to Rachael, Naomi’s legit mom (pictured on the right) and the entire Moon Beam Family!
tree felling the other day there were some casualties. I expected to find a few birds nests, but this little guy unfortunately lost his home. He wasn’t hurt, but he needs a new apartment. I feel bad about that, but who knew!?!?!?
Sunday was Arbor Day in reverse on the farm!! We have a couple of trees that needed to be removed and it pays to know a man with a big chainsaw!!! It ALSO pays to have friends to help move all the wood and brush once it’s cut! A few good friends turned into a sort of tree party with some pizza and a lot of fun! A special thanks to John, Barb and their boys, and Jim!! (and Gary who came over to cut up the pieces that were too big for me to pick up once my friends left!)
Saturday was “opening day” of our 2012 pony season!!! Chevy was hired to do a birthday party for the 2 year old son of a friend of mine. Chevy was a hit with the kids, and the grass in the backyard was a hit with Chevy so it was a win-win!
Good morning!!
With the arrival of spring comes fertilizing the fields. What that REALLY means is spreading the manure piles that have been “cooking” for the past year. Part of that process is composting. We throw a BUNCH of stuff in the compost pile….eggshells, veggies, grass clippings, pine needles, tea bags,…all kinds of stuff!! It’s all soooooo good for the fields!
Ponies are a close second to goats. They’re ALWAYS looking for SOMEthing to eat!! Chevy cleans out the hay cart just about every morning on his way outside!!!
Yesterday was a really nice day here and I had the day off. So me and Mav did some hangin around!! We spent a little time out in the back yard just chillin!!!
Good morning Farmers! (ok, that’s hokey)
I got lucky!!! Came home to find this little guy/gal busy in the field next door!! I caught him/her in the act of making his/her den. I think the kits (pups) aren’t far behind!
She’s/He’s beautiful, huh??
TGIF!!!
We had company over the weekend and the kids LOVE to play with Mav. (And vice versa!)
