Time Out for the Grandbaby!!

After getting all the hay up this last week, the oldest son called and asked me to come down for the weekend. He and his pretty wife wanted to celebrate their 4th anniversary and they needed me stay with their 9 month old daughter...my perfect granddaughter, Alayna! Oh, the joys of being the lucky one to enjoy the snuggling, and kisses of an angel on earth!! I don't know her every day moods, but during my entire visit, there was absolutely no crying or upsets. She was perfect from the time I arrived to the time I left. Was it this wonderful when mine were little?? I guess so, but I think we all get caught up in the work and worry of raising our own and overlook all the "good stuff"! I just know that I'm looking forward to another visit ASAP!! Those kisses were addictive and I've been captured without her lifting a hand!! I had great ideas to paint while there...even took some things to work on, but alas, not a stroke was made!! Too much fun having fun with Alayna! I'm back now and will be adding some more things to Ebay this week!!

Make Hay While The Sun Shines...

We've been baling hay this week here at AAA! We've had to dodge some thunder storms, but we're just about finished. Last year, with the drought, hay was scarce, but this year it's beautiful and plentiful, so far! I'm working on some things that I should have on Ebay this week, so watch for them! Of course, I had to post some pics of the fields, and the mules...Maude is the sorrel and Solomon is the App. mule that we show throughout the southeast. The last one is of Cha-Cha gettin' a little sun! Look at 'dem ears!!

AWESOME'S CHA-CHA!

I took these pics of Cha-Cha today and thought I'd let folks see what a little long ears looks like at 7 weeks old (her birthday was April 10th)! She's growing like a weed and is soooo smart. She's already halter broke and will let me lift and hold all 4 feet. She's wonderful with her bath and the trimmers. The dark mare is her mom, Minnie and the blond is our mare, Dolly.

Solomon Says...What's Happening At Awesome Ass Acres?

Baling hay during the day and painting at night...that's the time I'm spending this week! We've been dodging thunder storms to put up 35 acres of beautiful fescue pasture and so far, so good. I'm painting on some things after dark, but bedtime sure comes early after a full day! Over Memorial Day weekend, we stopped by a llama show in White Pine, TN. I never dreamed that llamas came in so many colors, even Appaloosa! Each one was different, but all really pretty. We love that humming sound, too! I've hinted about adding a couple to our animal collection here, but my sensible half says not now. Guess I have to wait awhile! I'm working on getting some pictures of Cha-Cha, but she's not in the posing mood lately...too much fun running and stretching those long legs!!
