another month.. zooms by

And so November comes to a close. We have had the pleasure of some pretty warm weather, which is good.. because it has given us a "few extra days" to get those winter things done. The guinea hens enjoy a warm sunny spot on the lawn, but I'm planning on penning them in soon - unknown to them!!! (and she's hard to see, but over to the left... Mona is laying in the grass, keeping an eye on those silly birds!!!)

The mornings have been frosty, but no snow (other than that little bit a few days back) certainly not like last year.....

We have been enjoying as much horse time as possible. Abbie has taken a real shine to Mocha and loves getting her out and about. They are so cute together, and I am just going to bore you with photos.....

She wanted to get her "out on the road".. so under Mom's supervision.. out they went....















Is this what you'd call... "pony express??"

Duke.......

 And Tonka.......

Time to clean out the woodstove, and get it ready for cold winter nights.... I had my own little Cinderella helping !!!!!

Ben came by and pulled Duke's shoes.. now we don't have to worry about him slipping in the snow. But, we won't be able to put him out on the street as much either.. oh well, driving around the farm is just as fun....

And Ed and I pulled back the pasture. The boys won't be happy to loose all their space, but we want to have good pasture next spring and summer. There will be less pasture lines to plow around as well.....

The new pen for the guinea hens... they're checking it out now, but getting them in there for good maybe another story.......










So we close the month with blue skies and promises of the up coming holiday season. We have a trip coming up in December as well... (more on that in the days ahead)... and just as I think things are running along fine, I get a call from my "boss"... she has been called away and I am running the post office for the next two weeks. Oh my, is that ever going to bite into my time.... my poor family!!!! poor me... it's going to be an interesting couple of weeks, and I dare say, blogging will be on the back of the list for a bit..........
