Finally! We have some fall-like weather around here. I had to dig out jackets & hoodies so as to stay warm. How cold is it?? Feels like it's freezing, but only 50's & 60's. Oh yea, I am a true Texan! If the temperature dips below 80, it's time to bundle up in a sweater & build a fire!!
The above picture is a little reunion between Dog & Rusty. They haven't seen much of each other since Rusty left the yard this summer. Looks like a kiss, but actually, Dog is licking the milk off Rusty's face! Rusty is still a big pill, but he knows the breakfast lady (me) & comes dashing over. I'm in the process of cutting back on his milk since it's about time to wean him. Sniff, Sniff. My little baby is all growed up!
Hody has stolen one of Rusty's bottles. I told Hody that it was a little early to be hitting the bottle & he should seek help for his drinking problem, but he doesn't listen. You'd think he could hear just fine with those giant ears, but noooo! Stubborn ass!!
These are the newest residents of the ranch - Jingle (on left) & Belle. We adopted them last week from the Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society. Their foster mother received them on Christmas Eve thus they received their yuletide names. They are so cute & super sweet. Hard to believe that some idiot just dumped them on the side of the road to run wild & starve. Their foster mother, Angela, is a lovely lady who helped them trust people again. Now all they want is love & treats - well, treats & love only if they can't get treats! BEHS is a wonderful organization that rescues horses, mules & donkeys from abuse, neglect & starvation. If you can foster, donate or adopt, go check them out on-line or visit them at their upcoming Expo in Austin on October 20th.
Ah Ha! See, it is jacket weather out there. It's starting to warm up now, but it was cold enough that even Mopsy wanted her little coat on while riding in the Kubota. Dog is an old hand at bumming around with his dad, but Mopsy is new to the adventures & seems to love it. What can I say, we live in a bit of a zoo & I wouldn't have it any other way. Our lives wouldn't be nearly as full & warm & our clothes pet hair free!!
It's going to be another day of shred, shred, shred out in the pasture. That goat weed has got to go. The dove & rabbits aren't too happy with me, but the cows are going to love it once the rye grass starts sprouting. Of course, it won't sprout if I don't get finished shredding, disking & then planting!! Just waiting for some sunlight to go get started.
Happy Day to you!!
