Spotted a wooly caterpillar preparing for winter. Spotted a wooly caterpillar preparing for winter. She's mostly brown in the middle so I think it'll be a mild winter
Stu can't decide if he should go over the fence or Stu can't decide if he should go over the fence or just canter around aimlessly. It's ok buddy, I think we all go through a time like that in our life.
I've been so busy, I haven't posted in so long 😳. Here's Stu at his new temporary home. He's living here for a few weeks, and then off to training! It was a long time coming, but it's time he learned how to horse! (From someone else though, not me). It's going to be fun seeing what he becomes, and I'm excited for him!
"Say whaaat? That's crazy." - friend when he was a "Say whaaat? That's crazy." - friend when he was accused of being the imposter after being caught murdering someone in Among Us. And also Berry, when anyone talks to her. She's a good listener, perfect for telling your outrageous story to
"ITS FALL!" I scream, busting down your door, flin "ITS FALL!" I scream, busting down your door, flinging small painted pumpkins at your hard surfaces, and grinding cinnamon spices into your rug. If your one of my long term friends, this picture might look familiar, and you might be thinking, "didn't you post this last year?" You are only partially correct, because this year I'm better at photoshop so it's a higher quality, cleaner image. Maybe next year I'll be even better, so I'll change even more stuff, george lucas style. I always imagined giant exotic animals in the background, I just didn't have the budget
The horse love starts young! Every day I take Bri The horse love starts young! Every day I take Bridgette out to do evening feed. She patiently follows me around while everyone gets fed, squealing with delight at the horses. When I'm done, it's her favorite part - she insists on greeting every horse up close in the field. Everyone gets pats! Vintage, my best horse of course, is surprisingly motherly towards her. It really seems like she understands Bridgette is just a little girl. She will walk with us in the field, keeping pace with her, and keeping the other horses away. Its kind of incredible to see! Horses really do understand 😊
My pony out in the wild. By wild I mean pasture. B My pony out in the wild. By wild I mean pasture. But he thinks he's a wild stallion out in the wilderness and I try to encourage that delusion. I think one day it's really going to pay off, I just don't know enough about wild horses to know how. That's the beauty of blind optimism, it doesn't have to make sense in any way. That's how I Iike to live my life 💪
Berry doing her eeyore impression. Notice the slan Berry doing her eeyore impression. Notice the slanted fence in the background - I live on a hill. This isn't even one of the steeper areas. My farm is like that joke where all the animals have different lengths of legs because everything is sloped. PSA to anyone who dreams of life living on a farm, don't buy a farm completely on a hill. It's so annoying to cut the grass, ride on a level surface, drive across, accidentally send round bales to their deaths.... basically any normal activity becomes two to three times as hard. Just don't do it. DON'T DO IT!!! 😠
One of Stu's hobbies is standing in dramatic poses One of Stu's hobbies is standing in dramatic poses. It's a little weird but at least when he's doing that he isn't destroying my fences or escaping. Really just trying to look on the positive side. Because I love how this photo turned out, I want to share how I did it. This was done in camera and it is super simple. I went into an evergreen tree in my pasture, and shot out through the branches. I just had to wait for Stu to get in the right position for his eye to be visible. And then brush off pine needles, which was an unfortunate side effect. Happy snapping!
It's Fri-yaaaaaay. May your weekend be as relaxed It's Fri-yaaaaaay. May your weekend be as relaxed as these loafers are demonstrating. They are experts in doing nothing. Before I got a horse, I really thought they ran around much more than they actually do. Turns out, they mostly just walk around and sleep. Between that and the lack of neighing, the horse movies lied to us 😠
One if the most beautiful and vibrant blue skies I One if the most beautiful and vibrant blue skies I've ever seen. It was one of those morning where you breathe in the cool, crisp air, and just feel so alive. Also Stu was there I guess

Maybe carve some pumpkins or hold a seance or something. I'm not one of those crafting bloggers but I'm trying my best
