Happy Easter

Easter lunch/dinner was at mom and dad's.  (Was supposed to be brunch but certain Salladay's and Wood's were tardy)

Spring is here but this week, our weather has struggled with staying nice.  Rain and dreary skies.  We got a load of logs; which we should be set for firewood and Denny's milling.  See pictures.

I have broken down and got some color for some of my pots and yard.  I could not help it!!!

Logs arriving

See the guy operating the picker?

Horse Show/first of a three series March 21st

 Here are some pictures of our day Saturday.  Tucker was a good boy and  I could not have been happier with him. 

THANK YOU DEVIN again for being my groom for the day and ADAM for taking videos.

Waiting for our first Eq class

Guessing we are waiting for another class

This is one of my favorites.  We should not have that much tail action though.

Halter-Geldings Only

Short clip of Tucker in his Halter class.  Placed fourth out of nearly ten I believe.

Spokane visit.............

We left for Colbert Thursday and had a good visit with Shane, Tirza and the fam.  Returned Monday...

Hiked around Bear Lake.

Abandoned church in Moro

Just the shell and flooring left.

Thank you again Ruby for letting us use your room.  It was good to see you ALL.

March...................

Just a few updates for March.

We have been experiencing lovely weather...cannot complain.  We woke up to snow last Saturday morning but it has all melted off now.  The mountains are getting some new although we still are behind the eight ball  with our snow pack.

 Devin has been riding a new mare, Ziggy.  She is over 17 hands, coming 16 and is a Trakehner/TB.  They are doing their bonding and coming along.  Tucker thinks she is his lover and visa virsa.  Good grief.

The foundation has been poured for our metal building and now just waiting for the phone call when it should be delivered and put together.  It will house our RV, my horse trailer and the two utility trailers. 

Hope all is well with everyone!!!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

We survived the four days of very high winds and I cannot tell you how happy I am that they are behind us now.  We only lost a few big juniper limbs out in our pastures but others were not as lucky.  Downtown Bend had HUGE ponderosa pines literally fall OVER.  Seven foot plus spans of roots still attached to the earth just sticking up.  Trees fell over on to peoples homes and cars.  Very scary.  See pictures of the two huge trees that came down at our friends place on Pinehurst.

Just a quick overview....Meagan and Gillian just left this morning for Boise; which is where Gill and Rick live.  Meagan has a job and will be staying with them until she gets going.  We all went out to McGraths last night to celebrate the day of LOVE, Devin and sister Deb's B-days; respectively and Meagan being Boise bound.  This is a very exciting thing and we believe lot's of very good things will come of this.  She is six hours away from us and about that from Shane and Tirza.  !!!

Hope this finds everyone well .......

Denny made this table for Devin's B-day...
