just around the farm

This is the "picture" that we get every morning...in her pj's or not.. one little gal that can't wait to get outside. Certainly the weather is nice, and she loves to be "out"... but there is something that is just calling her name....












"WEEEEE" as she calls it. Miss Abbie has a new swing, and if she could.. she would be in it for hours!!!! Ed and I set out to find her a swingset.. I had no idea how expensive some of them are.. and began to get disappointed. Then we found this little swing that can be added to a swingset, and Ed said "why don't we get just the swing and hang it on the front porch". Great idea. So that is what we did. And I have to say, Abbie is just so happy with that swing.. she doesn't need a whole set (well.. not yet anyways) and is just as happy with the simple version... (sort of makes you think - what's wrong with the "simple" things in life!!!!) Any ways, most every morning, we first have to do some "weeee" time.. even before breakfast...

Dean and Ben arrived this week to get the horses feet done....everyone is in good shape and it's nice to see nice, neat feet once again...

I still can't get over the size of Duke's feet!!!!

and here's the other "old guy".. can't wait to see Abbie on this little pony.

Abbie absolutely loves to be at the barn...

chasing the "bucka, bucka's" around.....

"hey....does this belong here, do you need me to pick this up??"






Maybe... just maybe, spring has finally found us!!!

Easter blessings..

Easter was this past Sunday, late this year. We had a wonderful Easter Day and I am reminded yet again, at how blessed I am. This is the most important holiday... when Jesus Christ, after having died for our sins, rose again and because of that, we can be forgiven and make it right with our Lord. I hope that all have the forgiveness that God has offered us.














Because this is such an "important" holiday, we do not put much stock into the Easter Bunny. Never have with our family... but we do have spring baskets filled with surprises. Course, Abbie doesn't have a clue yet, as to what this is all about.. but she certainly couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the goodies waiting for her on the table.








And once in awhile.....














It's OK to begin your day with candy......










After church, we went down to my parent's house for a family get together. Abbie and Naomi shared a little egg hunt....

Abbie is used to looking for eggs... she does it almost every morning at the barn....

We had a wonderful meal all together....

and enjoyed a day that was almost like spring..

Easter Blessings to one and all....
