"Helping"

When you are Fjord, it's rather nice to have a plump rump.

Perfect Fall evening, Kids running and enjoying being out, Amie content we are there for a while, and me with my camera.

Signs Of Fall

This afternoon I grabbed my camera and delighted in taking some pictures of the changing seasons.

Fall is upon us, even though the wind today is warm, we know it will be cold quickly. 

Aaron is busy putting up insulation and yesterday we got our third truck load of fire wood. We will need much more then that, but it's a start.

Today I am tackling a project, that I will post pictures of tomorrow if all goes well and I get it done. Until then, you all get to enjoy the signs of Fall. 

The kids have coined a new term in our house. One day last week Clara and Flora came running in from outside with a couple of leaves that where starting to change. They were so filled with excitement and yelled, " Mama, FEAST LEAVES!"

Long Time Friends

Bride and Groom: Erin and Tony dancing for the first time as husband and wife! It was a very special day! We are so blessed that we were able to go. Thanks Aunt Karen for letting us crash and steal your car and for picking us up and dropping us off at the airport. Thank you Mom and Dad for watching the kidos! They had a blast!

Fixing Fence and Pasture Mates

This late morning and early afternoon we spent some time down at the pasture beefing up part of the fence. While Aaron pounded in the new posts, I went down the fence line with pliers and wire and attached the barbed wire to the new posts, and also re-attached any that needed it one old ones. The kids played, and ran and helped in turn.

Running through the weeds.

Playing with a cat tail.

BIG HELPER Flora...yes, that is a t-post she is carrying. She said " I am going to help daddy." And did. Such a strong little girl!

Playing in the little stream that runs through part of the pasture.

 Here are a few of Amie's pasture mates:

Maria the Mule...she is rather a sweet thing when she wants to be.

"Loofy" is what Andrew calls Lucy, she is close to 17 hands, and before rescued was neglected and Abused. It is taking time for all of us to be able to touch her. She doesnt have a mean bone in her body, but is very scared. Isn't she just so pretty!

My Sweet Amie. Her registered name is Oscars Sweet Amie, and the sweet part fits! :) Clara is now addicted to riding her, she was the most shy to get up on her.

Missy the Mule

Charlie Horse and Amie playing with a stick.

Amie is very curious and likes to nibble on things...think time...the reflective strip on the back pockets of Aaron's work pants.

Lucy's very large nose....and Aaron feeding her a sugar cube. The girl likes her sugar!
