Sewing ~ and this and that....


So the binding on Dyfra's 3 year old fly sheet, finally wore to shreds. So I used some very heavy duty curtain material I have had for years and made her a fancy new binding. Not the best sewing job but hopefully it will last a couple of years. The things I do for my horses. LOL


Weather has been very nice here lately. Not to cold nor too hot.
Worked on some Strawberries this morning and they are now marinating in some powdered sugar. We have been eating Lettuce, Spinach and Peas out of the garden so far.
Got the cats nails trimmed and soft paws put on,, they were also brushed.
DH & DS are getting ready to make some flat bread outside, over the BBQ. Hope to get some photos of it this time. Flat bread makes some great sandwiches.

DH needs to take care of a rather large yellow jacket nest under one of the house eves. Should prove interesting. :O)
Did get the monthly letter out to Great Grammy,, hopefully she will recieve it by the end of the week.
We are all staying pretty busy...there is always something to do.

More Edda pictures

There was a beacon of sunshine streaming through the dark clouds last night, so I decided to take some photos. Above Edda is playing with her mother's feed pan and below...they are both thinking about taking a nap.

Peeling logs, pretty flowers and horses of course~

We need to partly enclose both ends of the horses big shed. Can't afford to buy materials so DH is gathering and starting to peel some Alder. I know its not the longest lasting wood but its free.

DH took some pretty photos of a couple of the Rhodie bushes we have.



I took a photo of some of the old fashioned Pansy's and one of my Clematis is blooming!




Head shots of Stjarna and her filly Edda..... sticking her tongue out of course. LOL

Edda

Edda and Stjarna video

Stjarna is slowly gaining weight and looking a whole lot better. She still has some sores in various places but even they seem to be getting better, if slowly. Edda is doing well, happy and starting to play more. Has been a long time since I have had a baby horse on the place....we are all really enjoying it.

Theia was our last foal and she will be 6 years old at the end of June. Where has the time gone?!

Icelandic filly pictures and a video

DH took some photos of me this morning...when I was trying to take photos of the filly. She had more interest in the buttons on my jacket.

Stjarna doesn't look as good as I would like in this video... however, she is looking much better in person. But here is Edda...

The Icelandic Filly is finally born



Presenting the Silver Bay Icelandic filly. In the process of picking a name for her.
Curious wee filly. Can see the grey mane and the white with a bit of grey on top tail and an itty bitty wee star on her face.
She is a Glymur frá Innri-Skeljabrekka granddaughter, out of Stjarna fra Chapman Crest and Dynfaxi fra Rivendell.
