It's fair season. It's also the season for really early mornings, late suppers, hay rash, rope burns, tired kids, and grouchy parents. It's also the season for spending time with friends, excitement for the rain to have held off, thankfulness for the hay in the barn, and good feelings when the ribbon reflects the work.
Sometimes it is sad...
We don't always have picturesqu events. Sometimes they really stink. Not every kid goat you help deliver will be that next fair companion or herd doe. Sometimes you have a sad situation that you don't understand, but you understand what you have to do.
Turkey turkey...
Normal day here… just a wild (tame) turkey waiting for us to walk by.
This is her happy place...
Her 1st time sitting on her nearly two year old nurse mare foal. She has raised this filly since she was 7 days old. She has been her mama since we brought her home from Last Chance Corral rescue facility. ♡
Guineas on the gate...
They were also on the hay barn roof, but I wasn't climbing up there or staying out any longer than I needed!
Just checking on things...
A’s and I’s Saturday morning chores- checking cows. The mamas only see me a few times a month, but I know they are all familiar with A. He loves those mamas.
