I had a very quiet weekend. Jason was away and will not be back for a few more days. We had light rain off and on Saturday so I had a pretty quiet day, just doing the basics of feeding, cleaning stalls, etc. Today (Sunday) was unusually cool for this time of year with a high of only 64 degrees and a brisk wind. I thought the horses would be really frisky and full of themselves at feeding times today but they were very copacetic and zen-like. I had a super exciting day scrubbing water troughs, replenishing salt blocks, grooming a few horses and rebedding stalls. I did manage to take quite a few pictures over the last few days which I will go ahead and share. My weekend was so quiet there just isn't anything else to say about it - not that I'm complaining about that!
Bubba the goat illustrating the fact that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Why he insisted on contorting himself under the fence to nibble at the weeds on the other side by the gate instead of turning around and grazing on the lush grass behind him is a mystery to me.
Quiet grazing; Faune, Winston, Sebastian, Asterik, TrillionSilky, Lucky and SnappyHarmony, Buffy and MissyElfin and Leo were on the move . . .. . . to a different grazing spotLightening, Clay and TeddyTraveller in the front, Sparky in the back with O'Reilly, Bridget, Lexi and Bonnie in the middle
Sparky decided it was nap timeHe heard me coming and sat upBonnie and Bridget
Happy group of grazing horsesI hope to have a retirement this niceLevendi, Elfin and DustinTony and Baby Harmony found me very interesting for some reason; the horses usually ignore me unless it is a meal time or they see a plastic bag (treats) in my hands and neither was the caseThen she snorted at me and starting trotting aroundTrying to get Buffy to understand what was so incredibly interesting about meCuff Links with grass up to his stomach; the grass (and the weeds for that matter) is getting very tall in placesBush was keeping an eye on things

You sure were busy for a quiet weekend. Peaceful horse pictures - very relaxing! I see that Cuffie's started putting on some weight already!
Sounds like a perfect weekend to me! Quiet time, a ton of horses to enjoy, photograph, groom and care for....what else would a horse girl want? LOL! That's our life every weekend here pretty much! With the exception that my husband is here....when the kids were young, was like I was a single parent he traveled on business. It would never fail that some major catastrophic event would take place while gone too! Now we're not set up so that he can travel often but he does want to take a fishing vacation with his buddies so maybe that will get him moving on building some fence for easier turnouts.....or not. Photos were great and my favorite horses are the white/gray? What kind are they?
Cuffie is turning into a fattie! :)
oh boy do those horses have the life! and, darn nice grooming job i'd say, very nice, you must have done bonnie and bridget, they look super spiffy.
