A couple of days ago Miss Pickles and Laura came for a visit. She's such a cute little girl.

Patches thought he'd try out Mac's inside bed.

The poppies are gorgeous this year.

The front yard is starting to take shape. Soon it should be lush with lots of veggies and flowers. Planted cucumbers so Laura can make us pickles. The primordial swamp is even gooier this year but has a kabillion tadpoles and mosquito fish. The poppies look pretty in the reflection. The other end of the swamp.



Love took a sun bath while Mac rested in the shade. Mac is always camera shy. He's like my great grandfather who always looked away from the camera.


Dobbin, Jessie and Jenny cooled off in the shade while Frankie munched away. The donkeys won't let me put on fly masks, and Frankie's skin is so tender we have to be careful with him. Moon Dancer enjoyed a little quiet time by herself. Here is part of the new barnyard fence. The at liberty animals are NOT happy about not being able to get all around the yard. We, however, feel much better about their safety and the hay trailer. Jim has to go tomorrow and get another 92 bales for the week.



Jess and his daughter Mallory moved the roses to the fenced back yard to protect the flowers from the longeared pruners. As soon as Jim digs the holes we'll give them a permanent home. Even the roses were rescues.

Bo is a beautiful boy. He is a mustang/draft cross with the BLM freeze brand. He is a good boy but would prefer not to be caught. Once he's haltered though, then he behaves nicely. I just love buckskins.

Maggie and Gracie cool off in the shade while Posey and Jonathan hang out in the background. Maggie's hair is quite shaggy, but is shiny underneath. Levi II still hurts. Dr Darling will be here on Tues. We have some ideas on what we may do to help this lovable boy with his pain. He stays near the upper herd and eats there. We don't want to put him in though because we can treat him when he is out. Even the propane tank looks pretty with its little yellow flowers. Had all kinds of ideas on painting the tank, but knowing realistically how unarty I am I think I'll just plant around it.There are some rescues facing very difficult decisions. Some are having to close because they just can't get the needed funds. The bad economy has put more and more horses in need of rescue or sanctuary, but the bad economy means fewer people have extra money to help the animals. We are so sorry when a good rescue has to close it doors.

Thank you to Anita P, and Eileen G for your donations.

Ordered fly masks. Thank you to those who donated for the masks.
