Edda will be 10 months old at the end of the month



Edda is growing up. I was trying to get Dyfra and Edda to stand right next to each other. Dyfra only tolerates her at times you see, but knows to mind once I am in the pasture. Edda hasn't had the time put on her to learn that.
So.. almost side by side, neither happy about it, best I can do for now.
Dyfra is a solid 12.3 tall.
Edda will be 10 months old at the end of the month, how time flies!

The other angle, you can just see Edda's back on the far side of Dyfra.
Yes, Dyfra wears a rain sheet, and can tell by her neck where it ends. LOL

DS, DH, Nari and what's up

My 20 year old son, wearing his father's Navy Jacket from around 1980 time frame. Patches you can't see are the Shell Back and a CVN-65.

Nari's favorite perch. DS's shoulders,,, lol.. no parrots needed here.

Second is riding on Dfyra's back or helping DS bring hay in on the little wagon while Nari sits on top of the hay.

Though about noon time, DH says Nari's on the shed roof poking her head out of the tarp we have up there. I went over to look and she popped back down,, then.. she popped her head right through again. Just like a gopher in a hole. Sigh... I guess we have a new hole to deal with.
Nari was nice enough, in a Cat's fashion. to let us know that there was an issue that needed tending too.

DH took the NARTE test last Monday, thinks he passed but we won't know for sure until the 10 days are up. We are hoping this will help DH with his job search.
Still looking for a job of course, just had another interview. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed.

Because DH sold the Motorcycle, I can keep us going 3 months longer than I originally quantified out. So it gives us a little more breathing room, if nothing major happens.

DH has been keeping busy with Farm chores and making yummy Pies and Cakes from scratch.. totally from scratch. Tastes much better than anything you can get out of a box.
And of course looking for a job.

DH went over last night to help our only close neighbor's with a plumbing issue and again today to get some the rest of it dealt with. He will go back on Sat to help our good neighbor with the rest of it. Even though we did not expect or want anything, for DH's help. Our neighbor has made a point to pay DH. For this we are very Thank full. Every little bit helps. I need to figure out how to say, Thank you, in South Korean, as I think it is the polite thing to do.

DS has been keeping busy with the Farm chores, making his yummy brownies or cookies and his Art.

Me, I have been keeping busy with the horses, chores, online stores and Art. I need to make time to finish the Tabby Cat painting soon! Also helping friends when and where I can.

So we have all been staying very busy.

Pies, Spring time

Took this photo this morning, had Ella out eating some grass while Stjarna ate her special feed.
Spring is trying to arrive early in the Coastal Hills of Oregon. The very old Cherry tree is starting to flower. This is the same Cherry tree they have at the Japanese Garden in Portland.

A little more of a close up of that old flowering cherry through the Fog. The daffodils are also just about ready to open.

Down in the Valley/low lands, everything is in full bloom. But we are usually a month behind them up in the Hills here.

Beautiful lighting this morning, with the sun streaming through the fog and the brown/red/orange catkin's brightening the trees up a bit. Of course this also means allergy season for DH and DS has arrived early.




DH has been busy making pies. Above is his Lemon meringue pie and Below is the handmade lattice top for his Apple pie. You can see how good DH is getting with his pies.

Sleeping Mia and Horse's enjoying the day

Here is Mia... taking a nap...OK well.. she was asleep on my belly, then slid off into this wad right there. Nice and warm.


The Grand day out for the horses.

Yes, they are muddy.. I don't like to have any mud at all but this year I could not afford more of the shredded Cedar mulch and more 1/4- gravel.



Stjarna.

Stjarna and the rest of the group playing






First day Stjarna out in the main pasture since weaning Edda. She is really enjoying herself but this will only last until the grass starts greening, then back to the dry lot she has to go because of her hooves.
Can see how Tall Edda is. Stjarna is 13.3 hands tall.

Sold the Motorcycle yesterday

DH sold his much loved Motorcycle yesterday. It needed to be done though.
Got the detailed Bill of Sale signed & DMV paper. Now we just have to wait until the Bank processes the paper work to send the Title to Oregon DVM, who it will turn will send it to us and only then do we get to sign it to pass it along to the new owners. Will take about 4 to 8 weeks.
Oregon sure doesn't make it easy to sell things and get the Title transfered quickly.
