Tuesday Stills

Tuesday because I forgot on Sunday and ran out of time to write a real post today.  Must try to do better, if only every peice of equipment I deal with would stop breaking.

Take a deep breath and stop to smell the roses.

Yard Crew

Keeping up with everything gets to be a bit much sometimes.  House work, yard work, job work, not to mention repairs.  Yeah, let's not mention repairs just yet, it's a sore subject. 

Good thing I have such dedicated helpers.

I don't know how I would ever manage without them.

Traffic Jam

You know how summer traffic can be! All these tourists who can't even figure out which direction they should be headed...

...and don't even get me started about distracted drivers not paying any attention.... 

I guess it's a good thing cell phones don't work out here. 

A Boy and His Cat

Of dentistry, drool and flowers

Emma and Tessa finally got their teeth worked on this morning.  They both had some sharp points and needed some work, but nothing major.  Ramsey got a reprieve until next Spring as his teeth seemed OK for now.  It all went well.

Unfortunately, I have no pictures.  Hard to believe isn't it?  Let's just say: I am not at my sharpest in the mornings as I work nights and have to get up in the 'middle of the night' to deal with a morning vet appointment.  I walked out of the house without the camera.  Probably just as well, who really wants to have their picture taken while sitting in the dentist chair, drool running down the chin and glassy eyed?  Emma would have found it far beneath her dignity.  I am sure she would have had plenty to say on the subject.

Instead, how about some more Spring flower pictures.  Just the thing to try to envision while your in the dentist's chair.  And for you donkey owners out there, do be sure to have your donkey's teeth checked even if your vet says they don't need it.  I've had two vets tell me that donkeys don't have dental problems.  This is NOT true.  Dental issues are the second mot common health problem in donkeys, just behind foot troubles.  They need their teeth checked regularly.

Cool Summer Breezes

So much for Spring.  We catapulted straight into Summer today.  Time to set up Tessa's best summertime friend.  I have never met a horse so enamored of fans...

"Ahhhh, feels so good"

"Thanks Ma!"

The Greening 2014

I did almost this exact same post last year, which you can click here to see. I was a bit more precise this year and got a shot from the same spot each time.  I think its interesting to see how much slower everything was to get started, but by mid-May, it was about the same.
