Just another day on the farm...

As I walked about the farm today, I thought I'd capture some shots here and there of what goes on each weekend...we have lots to do!

Here, the Oldest Brat hops in Gpa Craigs Razor-mobile and gives the arena's a good dragging...this task is WAY more fun since he brought the Razor...the big ole' JD tractor just isn't as fast or as cool!

The garden is not as lush as months past, but the vines we planted on the scarecrow have taken over, and the green peppers are plentiful!

Gpa Craig's current project is to replace all the support posts and overhead beams in the old 4-stall barn....he is converting it to an overflow tack room and hay storage...he's been working VERY hard!

Fiddle is doing great...her babies, Little Joe and Bandit, were adopted by a wonderful man in the neighboring county...they are his heard sires now and living the good life! Amanda Lynn was adopted to be the best friend of an orphan pygmy...I'm told they are raising Cain together...now Fiddle gets to kick back and get all the goat luvin' all to herself!

Ginger is growing up FAST...she absolutely LOVES the water...she's wet in this pic after a dip in the water troughs with the Little Brat...

Jake is the King of the Stables...here he is keeping guard over the paddocks...not to be confused with 'sleeping on the job'!

Every few days new round bales go out for the horses to munch on....

..and Snuffy ALWAYS runs for joy when he sees them coming! I think he looks like one of those Roman war horses all done up with his fly sheet and mask on....

Potter, Woodie, and Juanita hang in the shade by their pasture gate....displaying the most pitiful faces they can must in the hopes you will get them out and give them treats....nice try ponies, not today!

Bo-Bo got a boo-boo....he managed to hook his nostril over something and shred it pretty good...he got some stitches and staples last week to put it back together....our vet, Dr. Mike, did an outstanding job...the scab is pretty gnarly, otherwise you can hardly tell what happened! Boys, always into trouble...

Speaking of water babies, here's mine...it's the perfect time for a dip after we clean out and refill the water troughs....I have to admit, I did this ALL the time as a young punk...and if I were that small again, I would have been in there with her...it is HOT HOT HOT around these parts!

That's our weekend, in a nutshell...JR and the Middle Brat also snuck in some time to repair a few fence rails...they had it completely under control, so the girls and I went grocery shopping...

Happy Trails!
