Friday - Horses and Around The Farm - Pete and Barn Building.

Pete was born to our mare Misty. A Paint baby boy.

He got to be friends with our puppydog Chewy.

This was while Star Wars was out and Chewy was short for Chewbacca.

Pete was a cute colt.





His very first showing was a success. He didn't panic and showed well.

In these nest two pictures he was around one year old.
Here he was out grazing with one of our older horses.

He had grown into a good looking youngster.

We'll catch back up with Pete, Pt. 2, next week.
Around The Farm ~
Way back when, this is how the barn began.


We took a walk around and inside today. It's coming together.


Our "grand-dog" Pepper's here. She was scoping things out.


As usual, Shadow was in charge.


Laurie worked on walls,

but took a break for a photo opportunity.

Meanwhile, Maddie and Pete took things in stride. Lazy like.

Here's where we are today.

Friday -- Horses -- This week and next are all about Pete.

Sunset today. Colorful close-up.

Sunset today. Nice.

Wednesday -- Sunrise/Sunset -- Sunsets from the old farm.

Monday -- Shadow and KC -- Back to the old farm.

Shadow was a cute puppy.

A mischievous little girl.

Who loved playing with her first red Jolly Ball.

And her second, a blue ball. (She chewed through the red one.)

This is her third. (It's still "in play".)

Showing KC the proper way to scritch an itch.

Shadow loved to play with Mommy's irrigation system.



And always came back in the house a soggy doggy.


KittyCat was more of an outdoor cat at the old farm.

He preferred warmer weather. (Still does.)


Occasionally KC found his own adventure, even if he didn't mean to.

Still, when he'd had his druthers, he liked being inside.
Especially when there was a human hand handy.





But very often we'd find him like this.

Thanks for dropping in. See ya next week.

Friday -- Horses -- Maddie's Life So Far + Around The Farm

Maddie and Laurie rode in a number of competitions, photographed professionally.




And won ribbons.

They continued riding at the old farm.







But mostly Maddie walked free.

Laurie and Maddie have ridden together at the new farm.


These days Maddie hangs out with her buddy Pete.

Next week — Pete's Story
Around The Farm —
Barn Progress. Last weekend Brian and his friend Josh put down roofing.
Josh pulled sheets from the ground

carried them to Brian on the roof

trimmed sheets to fit

and handed them back up to Brian.

Laurie took pictures.

Including these two —
she put mats down for hay storage

and the barn so far.
