Love the spider webs on foggy mornings!

My friend pointed out these elderberries growing in hedge row near ring other day. I am so excited! Going to clean out weeds around this bush in hopes they’ll grow more, or I’ll throw in another bush at some point! Time to make some elderberry syrup!

Summer Nights, Soak ‘em in while the gettin’s good!

How is it, that it is already almost the end of August??!!? Summer goes by way, WAY to fast, wouldn’t you agree Splash (happily munching away on grass as we enjoy the peace & calm of the setting sun on this Friday eve)?? Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Make the most of these next few weeks because before we know it, Summer will transition into Fall in the blink of an eye, just like that! Fingers crossed we close out the Summer with sunny days, pleasant temps, and pretty blue skies!

As many wild apples as I can reach… I need picker to get the higher up ones!😊I’ve been feeding the low ones I can pluck to the horses, but these beauties are slated for an apple crisp or apple pie.

There is an old apple tree by the ring & it has beautiful apples on it this year! Time to do some bush wacking, tear down of the grapevine, grab a ladder & snag those delicious apples for horses & humans!

Walk through the barn after chores. Happy Monday!! 😊

Show Me The Grass (before the foot soak)….

Most of first cut in. Beautiful day to do it!

Haying time! Haying time! It’s haying time I say (Too bad it wasn’t quittin’ time 🤭on putting it in … the fun part)!! The “Hausas” as my old neighbor liked to call them will be happeeeeyyy

The baby sparrows flew the coop! Their new “coop” is the radio in JB’s barn. They are so darn cute all huddled together like the three little amigos… I can’t even be mad about the nice presents they’re leaving on their new coop. 🙃Fly baby barn sparrows, FLY, you little cuties!💞

06/23/2024

Feed Me Mama, Feed Me!!! I have been enjoying watching the little nest of baby swallows in Johnboy’s barn & Mama diligently & dutifully working non-stop to care for her babies. They are so cute when she swoops in barn… they all open their mouths & start chirping to their Mama 💞

Been cooking up some magic this weekend in between throwing bales of hay getting ready for hay to go in soon!! The grass in meadow is getting mighty long - a lot of hay! The strawberry rhubarb crisp & strawberry mojito cocktail with berries & mint from the garden — delicious!! Also asparagus from garden is still coming & I made pizza with:
👉pesto from garden
👉caramelized onions
👉spinach from Yoder Farm
👉tomato
👉mushrooms
The rain cleared up, the sun is shining, the horses got turned out & they’re happy campers about it. A more relaxed pace this weekend than the past few weekends (Spring is so busy!), yummy food last night @ Clarendon’s Annual Strawberry Fest, and a hay workout… I’ll take it! 🥰

Welcome Sev! Handsome boy, and so sweet. The horses are enjoying the nice weather & green pastures!

05/08/2024

A sea of dandelions! Love the yellow pop in long paddocks of pastures this time of year. And a pretty sunset & rainbow peeking through the clouds tonight. And a cute little kitty snuggled on the deck 💞

Pretty sky yesterday morning! Spring is in the air! Time to clean up ring, tidy up the pine cones, fix the driveway, check/paint fencing, do some deep cleaning in the barns & get JB going. I love Springtime. Fresh starts, new beginnings, everything turning lush & green, birds singing, warmer days… 🫶

Fun workshop on Equine Reproduction yesterday & today with UVM Morgan Horse Farm, UVM, Miner Ag Research Institute, Meadowbrook Equine & Dr. Molly Witters. Lecture & live demos - got to see foal recently born, got to see AI process with mares, semen collection process with Stallions. What an education! When Aunt Wendy & Pappy were around, I believe they pasture/naturally bred about 8-10 foals over the years - part of what inspired me to take workshop. I wish I had paid more attention & asked my Aunt a ton questions back in the day when I was younger.
