What's up, Quad?

What's up, Quad?

I need to get up there one of the next 3 days and give everybody a GOOD brushing...I'm thinking tomorrow will be a good day...no school!   :-)

More cuteness!

He IS adorable.  And, he has one brown eye and one blue one...!!!   :-)

Ms. Nosy

Yes, here's Scout..."Ms. Nosy".  She's always interested in whatever is going on up at the ranch!  Curious little thing, isn't she?

Ranch roses~Today's Flowers~041314

I was able to get up to the ranch yesterday and was surprised to see ALL the roses up there in bloom!  They were gorgeous.  After greeting the horses, I walked around and took these photos of the flowers.  I also spotted a roadrunner at the ranch.  The owner isn't sure if she's glad to see him, however, as he apparently killed a quail last week.    Today's Flowers for Sunday, April 13, 2014.  To visit Today's Flowers, please go to this link:    http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.com/

More pics of the little guy!!!

Well, I made it up to the horses this morning, but I only lasted 1 hour.  I've had a cold virus since last week (I missed 2 days of school) and it just WIPED. ME. OUT.  I straggled to school this past week, but by Wednesday, I was completely exhausted and had a horrible headache.  Each afternoon, I'd drive home and take a nap.

I wanted to see how the little colt was doing.  He's in the corral next to Sunni, with his mother, and I wanted to see him before he got too big.  He's still ALL LEGS.  He almost came up to me, but then decided he'd go have another sip of breakfast instead!  Apparently Sunni is the "babysitter".  Mom allows him to put his head over the fence between them and watch the little guy!   :-)

I wish I'd had more energy.  I didn't really do much this morning, just gave everybody a couple of scoops of pellets and their psyllium.  The farrier will be up shortly to give them a trim, but I DO have a 3 day weekend next weekend!   :-)  YEAH!

Fuzzy Wuzzy Cali

I miss my little Cali.  I found these photos from 2011 while I was looking for some other photos of wildflowers in this file.  Look how fuzzy she was back in March of 2011!  She was such a sweetheart...sigh...I miss her every time I travel up to the ranch.  I started out to go there today, but was too tired and dizzy to complete the drive.  And, I only had 2 gallons of gas, so there was NO WAY I would make it up the hill.  Maybe tomorrow morning...

Saguaro Sunrise~SkyWatch Friday~040414

Sunrise at the Rancho Mirage post office one morning this week.  I had to stop there and mail some bills.  Beautiful, old, dead saguaro but I think it still has some presence!  SkyWatch Friday for April 4, 2014.    To visit SkyWatch Friday, please go to:    http://skyley.blogspot.com/2014/04/skywatch-friday-april-3-2014-edition.html
