Happy Samhain

The end of harvest and the beginning of winter is upon us. But I haven't posted here since the end of August!



We had lots of critter sightings.

My trailer has lots of fun bumper stickers!

And then I got all dressed up to go to a job interview!  (Part of why posting has been infrequent)

Taking advantage of the sun to dry some diapers.

Pony face who lost her fly mask.



HUGE grasshopper!


Boop!

Kaylee started school!


Velociraptor doesn't run away like he should.





Ponyface is good with my babies.



We throw up our heels too.

I did some organization in the barn in preparation for winter. Now all of my blankets have a place to hang up!

Smartpak sells these awesome over the edge bottle holders which are perfect for off the shelf fly spray and show sheen.

And I added more places to hang up pitchforks and my shovel.

Then we tackled the arena.  It was in a sorry state with plants growing everywhere. It was a mini Alder Tree nursery. 

But we got it churned up good!

Then dragged.

Next we'll be salting it periodically to prevent plant growth.

In October we did a few shows!

We even got a ribbon!




With minimal plants in the arena, it was a fun time to pretend to be a ghost.

And love on the donkeys in your life.



Taking naps is fun.

And we decorated for Halloween.

Fall colors and rain.



And it's starting to get cold. Ice in the water trough in the mornings.

And frost.

And our first snowfall! It barely stuck and melted nearly immediately. It was mixed with rain so was a generally cruddy day.



This past weekend we made a trip to Home Depot to make shelves and cavaletti. It was a warm day!

Someone can finally sit on her own and got to sit in the grass!




Handy husband.

Halloween trick or treating!

And naps!
