You can see how nice the course is. Here is Chris getting off a good shot.
Putting~
The Hazards,, and like all good Mothers, had to capture the moment. :O)
The Sand pit- he hit the ball out the first shot. Sadly no sand spraying in all directions photographs for me. However, I do have ones of DH, so not all is lost.

DS Golf day~ 1st post

DS decided he would like to go Golfing for his Birthday. The course we usually go to had a tournament going, so we were unable to golf there.

DH called around and found another Golf course in the area and it ended up being a much nicer course.

The Golf cart was all electric and because of that non smelly, smooth going, just an over all nice cart to drive.

The course as you can see above was very nicely done, well thought out and elegant in its design.

Mia Playing

Finally was able to get a video of Mia playing. You can also see Nari our Maine coon in her harness..and Sadie our orange cat.

A nice ride out on the Farm~

Had a good ride on Dyfra today... took Ella with us... Ella her bright sheet and bell on, as Hubby saw the poachers about at 6am this morning. Rather late for poachers.

Got to prune some branches back while still on Dyfra. First time in a veryyyy long time I did that. Nice to have part of my path...well.. I know where the path was... clear.

Dyfra was a champ.. dropped some 1 to 2" limbs on her head and neck... not on purpose...she could care less.

Had to grab ahold of a very long and very thick blackberry vine... had her back up a good 50' to get it pulled out of the tree limbs. She is such a good work horse.

Ella for the most part stayed in sight of us. Normally running to catch up with us..with her bell jingling away. Both people and other animals would have to be totally deaf not to hear us coming.

Rode in the new military pants I bought... little big but will fit perfect when I start wearing double clothes in winter. Much better than sweat pants for riding in the brush. Normally the thorn bushes snag my legs.. and they didn't get me at all in these pants.Was thinking about getting some English riding pants... but I decided since I don't get to ride out with others.. military work pants make more sense.

The above picture is from a couple of years ago. Should of took the small camera out today with me but didn't think about it until I got back in. Maybe next time I will have DS take some photos of us working.

The State Fair and Draft horses

We set out for the State Fair as soon as the Farm animal chores were done and we fed ourselves.
It was a bright and sunny morning, abet a wee bit on the cold side. However, that is much better than being too hot.
The traffic was surprisingly light, so we enjoyed that in full measure.
The main reason we were going, is so I could get some Draft horse photos. Unlike New England with their Draft horse shows and pulls.. just about every weekend in different areas. This area has very few. Just one main show around Feb at HAPPS and the State Fair.
No Oxen and Draft horse pull only shows, sadly.
While waiting for the draft horse pull to start.. DH got me the scooter.. personally hate the things but not much choice. We looked around at the livestock.. was a Longhorn Cow we wanted to buy but sadly couldn't find the owners and they did not have any info out other to say it was for sale. Opportunity lost.
DH & DS has to check out the food of course.
Really nice fair for the NW.

Here are just a few of the Draft horse photos I took the last day of the State Fair. Really need a Nikon D300 for the type of photos I want to take but until I can afford it I am stuck with the one I have. Will have to at least get a better flash.
These photos were taken out side where there was better light.
Decided to do close ups and different angles...
