Start of summer..

Our weather lately has been quite the thing... either cold, rainy and sort of yucky.. or bright sunny. I'm in hopes that the whole summer isn't going to go this way, though when the weather is good, it's delightful. Course Ab can always find something grand... like how her barn boots make it possible to walk threw the deep puddles...

Or how a plastic Easter pail works great for collecting the eggs....

She take this morning chore very serious, and likes to count and see how many treasures we are left. She loves fresh eggs, and even told her Tee Tee that "her" eggs (bought in the store) were a bit "yucky".

Well, it's hard to believe that Norton is beginning to get ready to head back to NEADS. I have received the "time to get ready" note. So, we made an appointment at the vets to have his "out going/in coming" exam done. Abbie assures him that everything will be fine at the doctors.

 He hasn't really know the DownMaine staff.. we got him when he was pass all the puppy shots, so except for a few "hello" visits and being weighed... he hasn't been there....but he makes friends where ever he goes...
He looks bigger than he actually is. People guess his weight to be around 70 pounds, but he really only comes in at 58. Must be all those curls.....
And just another morning on the farm. I guess what really "gets" me are the outfits that are picked out each morning. Abbie is really into dressing herself, and I love to see what she chooses. Most always a tu-tu must be part of the ensemble.
just making sure her boots still work....

And always ready to lend a hand.... she loves to open the shavings bags after "you get the poop out first, Baby"..

 Rake is a bit on the big side....
But she'll make sure that the horses have a nice soft bed... and pretty much the routine of the days continue....
