Cortney enjoying a ride with Mo!

To think, just two years ago, Cortney was scared of horses,

now she rides almost everyday and is working with Mo

on his neck reining as well as switching leads when loping

in a figure eight pattern. She's becoming quit the horse woman.

The bums, enjoying the sunshine and chewing their cud.

They spent the day in the garden, eating the old dried bean pods,

dried herbs and yes some green grass!

Next week they'll be returning to their farm, as they're about weaned
off the bottle and are eating quit well; hay, grass, weeds, and a grain
mixture with kelp.

It's becoming a routine, that is..... the wild turkeys coming to call.
Our toms begin gobbling and the hens yicking and soon in the
distance we hear a reply. Gradually it gets closer and closer, until..
we have a visual of the wild turkeys. There are two toms in this
wild flock, one being quit large and really knows how to strut his stuff!
I'm going to try to get a picture of them, but they are often gone before
it's light enough to use our camera.It's fun to watch the displaying of
our toms verses the wild toms. Ours were even stomping out their
mating dance, LOL!!!!

Today's list includes:
Make laundry soap
Laundry( washing and hanging outside)
Cleaning out the front flowerbeds( along the front walkway)
Raking up leaves in the front of the garden( just raking out into garden
to be tilled in)
Our normal daily chores( cleaning barns, dishes, cooking, tidying
the house a bit)
Sorting out our seed potatoes in the cellar, in prep for planting

If we get all of this done I will be thrilled!

It's kind of grey and gloomy outside, although it's still warm enough to
only need a sweat shirt or light jacket. Blue sky is coming, so praying
we have a sunshine filled day again.

May your day be filled with blessing and productivity.
