CATCHING UP!

Wonderful rain here in East Tennessee!  After the last 2 years of drought conditions, we've finally had plenty of rain this year...it's been great for our garden, flowers, hay production and of course, look what else it leaves behind!!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

I've been wanting to post some pics, (not been able to catch any of that white fawn, but still trying) so, I've "captured" Jerry, our little male kitten from several posts back. 

He was soooo small then, but he's really turning into a BIG cat!!  He hasn't made his appointment for the "male procedure", but that's next! 

Well, time's counting down for our big trip!  We're sooo excited!  We'll be camping every night and we LOVE to camp, so that's going to be fun, in itself!  We're both wide eyed and adventurous, so to go, see and do things, we've never done is going to be a memorable time...not to mention, we're down home, stay home, deep South Johnny Rebs and we don't know what to expect past the Kentucky line!!  I'm just hoping that folks can understand what we say and visa-versa! 

We had our farrier out yesterday and I've got to brag on our little yearling filly mule, ChaCha!  This was her second trimming and she was perfect both times!!  Jeremy, (farrier) couldn't believe her manners.  She's laid back and gentle and very smart.  Of course, her mom, Minnie (Haflinger) is the same way.  Nothing bothers her and she's there to please you!  When we return from our trip, my round pen's going to be in use...I hope to have ChaCha ground driving by spring!   I can't help but think about her 1/2 brother (Tango) that we lost last year (3 days old) due to a vet's misdiagnosis...he matched her EXACTLY and would've been just as sweet, I'm sure. 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to leave a word or two, to let me know you were here!!
