I was very lucky to have a friend loan me his tractor for a week back in late May. I quickly got to work cleaning up my manure piles and scraping the problem spots in the paddock. I love tractors AND clean paddocks, so I was pretty happy to get this major job done for this year. I like to have a tractor in once a year, as our equine friends happily keep producing manure!

Not quite a between the ears view, but the next best thing! |
Fred was very curious the whole time I was working outside. He is such a funny guy. I was trying to get an "after" picture, but Fred kept sneaking in to the picture, so I just went with it. I told him he couldn't poop in the new cleaned up area, but I don't think he quite got it. lol

So clean and smooth! |
As is the case with a lot of my pictures, when Fred hears/sees me outside, he comes over to say hi.

So cute... |
And yes, this is a pic of a horse butt. lol What can I say? My friend asked me to take this picture, so I was just doing as asked. This is a cute little double registered AQHA/APHA filly that my friend is hoping to show next year.
These people also breed corgis and border collies, so I spent a lot of time cuddling cute dogs and even a few puppies. Luckily all were sold, so I didn't come home with a new creature. ;-)
I snapped this from the side of the road on an early morning drive - this time of year in this part of the world is pretty amazing - I try and find time to appreciate that. The long days of sunlight make up for the opposite that we get in the winter.

Hopefully this post will help me get back into the routine of posting...we'll see! lol
Oh man corgi puppies, I would probably have stolen a couple!
ReplyDeleteit was tempting - but they were only 4 wks old...
Deleteyou know, i sorta secretly wish i knew how to operate tractors.... cool that you got to play around with one to get so much done!
ReplyDeletetractors are fun - this one is a good one to start with as it is small and automatic, so no heavy clutch to worry about...
DeleteBut will there be new puppies when your friend picks up her baby horse?? Cause you need a corgi.
ReplyDeleteI was afraid to ask!! lol Not sure I want to deal with the puppy stage again! I'd like one that was 2 y/o and house broke! ;-)
DeleteI would have come home with a corgi! I just love them. Peonies are nicely self-sufficient once started. All I do is put a tomato cage over them because the flowers are so heavy that they fall over. And I'm trying to figure out how you can have a farm and no tractor. I can't imagine life without mine.
ReplyDeleteI may yet end up with a corgi...we'll see! lol My current pets are costing me in vet bills, so it will have to wait.
DeleteI manage without a tractor, but it is hard sometimes!
