Late Summer Love

Summer is the season that seems to pass by so quickly. Maybe it is because I have a career in education.

But there are a few things I LOVE about summer coming to an end.

Deep-fried veggies straight from the garden!

Blooming Black-Eyed Susans!

Homegrown tomatoes!

Correction!!!!!

The new foal is not a girl!  Yikes!

Destiny and Dallas won't let too many people near, but upon further inspection...we have verified that "Andy" is indeed a boy. 

It's probably a good thing that I work in education...

New Arrival!

Destiny finally gave birth to her foal! She is a cute little thing - dark brown with a white muzzle.

Big Mama Dallas is watching over both of them with her protective eye. Some people have horses to ride, we have them to protect our stock!

But we need a name for the little girl! Suggestions welcome... :)

About to Pop!

Destiny is expecting a foal in the next few weeks, but I'm not sure she will make it much longer!

My guess is that the new baby will come along while we are in Kentucky over the 4th.

Cool Coincidence

Grady and I love estate auctions.  Actually it goes more like this:  Grady finds an auction he wants to go to.  I complain about it, but go anyway.  I end up purchasing more things than he does. 

It happens everytime. 

So a few weeks ago when he said he wanted to go to an auction for a goose-neck trailer, of course I complained. 

And came home with more things than he did.  :)

But the coincidence came when some guns were being auctioned off and I heard someone mention my late father-in-law.  I couldn't make out what was being said about him, but quickly informed Grady that we needed to pay attention.  The auctioneer then proceeded to read the little name-plate on the gun which had my father-in-law's name and address engraved on it. 

Sold. 

Arnold was a big trapper and Grady thinks this was one of the guns he took trapping when he was younger.  It is not a fancy gun, but it was Arnold's and that makes it worth more than what we paid for it. 



Cute Shot of the Week!

I don't understand the fascination, but it sure is cute!

The welcome rainfall a few weeks ago made for a super-happy pig. 

This...

Plus this...

Equals this.
