The other day our "ponies" stood outside the barn while
Laurie poured grain. Her handmade rope gate is a deterrent.

We caught up with Maddie and Pete this afternoon.

Maddie's gotten good at finding grass.

She stepped away and took a look at her new environment,
still under construction.

Is this a skeptical look in her eye (or my imagination)?

Meanwhile Pete grazed himself into a corner, sort of . . .

While in the mean Maddie found some more good green grass.

In the meantime Pete found another resource.



Once he'd gotten what he wanted, Pete pressed on.

In time it was time for grain. The kids gathered again
in late-day sunlight.

Mommy completed dinner delivery and parked the tractor.
Her horsies were set until tomorrow.
Thank You for looking. See you next Friday.

Around the farm ~
Where in the barn Laurie has cleared a space for a new
frost-free hydrant.
She worked in the upper right corner of the ditch.




Outside the barn, she's filled in most all the connected ditches.


Shadow had herself an exhilarating roll.


On a previous afternoon we snapped her back in the barn.

Today she brought her treasured Jolly Ball along.

Laurie's been installing insulation in the tack room.

We saw shadows from a rake and pitch fork.

And Laurie, in the relaxing room, after digging in a ditch.

Thanks for swinging by ~ see ya next week.

Relax Laurie, you deserve it. Now send some of that ditch digging energy my way. The relaxing part, I got that ☺️💤
