Time Fly's

It has been awhile! It has been so busy and time just slips right away from me it is amazing where it all goes. Well I guess I should say where do I start!

Guess one place is better then none.

Blaze Is doing wonderful All the horses look as if they have been through a battle Blaze is getting the brunt of the biting but he is tough skinned he just has not gumption to move. NO one has come up lame or to the point of bleeding so I will let them be horses and pray that this will soon stop and all the pretty fur baby's will be back to normal. I have notice Blaze a little less then a week ago was head of the herd. Yes short lived but thought it was extremely interesting. He told Molly and Doc to watch out and they did as told. Blaze and I are spending some time at liberty together if he chooses to be with me great if not that is okay as well. He has been following me around the pasture's like a puppy dog even when I am cutting the grass he is out there with me. He loves for me to scratch him all over and brush him and I am so happy he is allowing me to do all this at liberty and he is becoming a happier boy about this as well. Of course he is Homers Boy! If Homer is out there he wants nothing to do with me. That is okay as well. I prefer them to have that bond I just want him to know to respect me as well. I have not been caring the Carrot stick or whip with me to the Barn the last few weeks. He has learned we do not tolerate miss behavior and if he is a good boy he will get a little extra snack in his bucket. He is still moody in the face Not sure why he is like that but Every day is better then the last.

I finally was able to get out today and get a ride in on Molly It was such a beautiful morning. We did some Round Pen exercises and took off for a well needed trail ride. I decided to ride English Boy it has been a while. It was nice though I Love western But there is something about my English saddle and ridding a gaited horse. The Love of the Show horse and the urge to show again. Yeah then I realize the Political craze's involved with showing horses and prefer to stay to myself. Happy to be right where I am at in life.

Doc is going to be getting worked I hope very soon. I met a wonderful Girl who is in her 20's and has been ridding since 5. She has experience working young warm bloods and many other breeds. Hopefully that will work out and Doc will be getting some well needed exercises as well.

Last night I finally broke down and started tearing the bathroom apart. We where suppose to start this a week or so ago but things kept coming up. Things that would continue to come up and never get this project done. So I took the initiative and went to work Homer soon followed suit and helped So we have the closet ripped out most of the floor trim gone. We still have so much more to do But I know once the bathroom is gutted we will know what we will be facing.

YES ! On top of all this we are building a chicken house. A larger one that is. We have a chicken shack right now but With us trying to grow our flock we need more space more layer boxes and more perches. Homer has been busy drawing up that to figure out the cost of this.

I have been slowly getting flower beds done and finished. It is a never ending job. The Garden is in but we are battling the Cooler spring weather so we have had to plant Cucumber seeds and watermelon seeds since the plants did not make it though the cooler night air we have been facing.

We have finally chosen a house to stay at for Vacation. I am extremely happy since mom will be coming most of the week. We will have a friend stay at the house during the week we are gone and hopefully see if a Friend would mine coming and feeding the horses. I prefer someone who knows about horses to take care of them while we are gone. I am extremely excited Weston will get to go with us this year. He loves the water but this will be his first time at the beach.

WORK ! Well it is what it is! I have been staying busy with Pre prom pictures. Very Happy with the way they came out and the Groups where so great to photograph. I am getting ready to have the photos finished with a check mark beside them. I am so excited.

My health well the cold has passed thank the Lord! I started a 6 week challenge to get my butt in gear and get to being back on a healthier standing ground. I have been so Unmotivated and a slug. I sure do feel so much better after I work out and I have all this energy. I love it!

Well That is about all the new I think. I sure hope I did not miss anything.

Be happy Be healthy!

Just another Up day

Well It has been a while! I know busy as can be. Amazingly things are going wonderfully.

Blaze Doc and Molly are getting along for the most part lots of ear pinning from the group but for the most part it is just ear pinning. Blaze is the low man on the to tum pole. Molly and Doc seem to switch there alpha positions all day I find this interesting to watch.

Homer has had his first trail ride on Blaze they both did wonderful. We have learned my saddle fits great with a thin pad so we know what we need to order when we finally get around to it. I love ridding in my English saddle so when ever Homer decides to find a saddle he loves it will all work out. Blaze has a show horse mentality. Something I am so use to with the saddlebreds. GO GO GO! I have realized as I have been playing with him He has had some serious show training in his back ground this kiddo has not been trained for trails. This is why he does not care for arena work he has been drilled so much with it in his early years before he started natural horsemanship and being able to be a horse and not a robot he is coming along well though.

Today I gave Blaze and Molly a bath. Boy They where both pretty dirty Blaze gets impatient and starts pawing yet another sign of being tied and becoming bored at a young age. WOW!! I am so glad I have worked in show barns and breeding barns to know what We have when we have it. I brought the clippers out to see how Blaze did he put his head down and was okay with it Not sure if he was clipped by Martha or not but he does not mind at all he almost loved it. The bath the pampering the clipping.

Molly as always stands she loves her bath she will fall asleep. I did do a little clipping on her what took me an hour to do last time took me less then 5 minutes this go around. I was sitting in a chair while I did it as well. Lots of break through and accomplishments.

As for me personally I am doing wonderful I have had so much fun with the horses and family and church family and friends it is amazing. I am so blessed and know every day is a gift from God.

The weather has been completely wonderful. It has been in the 70 until yesterday and today we are actually hitting close to 90 but temps will be dropping again a northern storm is going to hit us later in the week to bring spring like temps again.

Homer is on the way home. Hopefully going to get the garden tilled up so we can start planting this weekend while the temps are wonderful.

Be happy be healthy.
