Spring is near (but not near enough)

 

When you have your vet out to do shots and coggins and he says your horses have all wintered well, and you're not sure if it's a compliment

Weekends on the farm

 Last weekend the weather was in the 40s so we spent the entire day outside catching up on farm chores


I took my jacket off it felt so warm



The chickens were out and about in the grass begging for snacks


We fixed fence and found part of a flymask.  Ungrateful heathens.  


I burned boxes and sticks from the last high wind warning.  You have no idea how much stuff you'll set on fire until you own a farm.



The dog gave up on sleeping on the couch and died up against the barn wall.



We took the starter from the tractor and dropped it off in this box at a house down the road.  Legend has it a guy you never see repairs it then calls you.




Because the tractor was broken again I used my truck to drag my arena, redneck style.


March has jokes

 My enthusiasm to ride has vanished again. Instead of riding I've been working on teaching the baby horses to tie.  Great drama ensued. ...
