Black-eyed Susan

I stepped out in the car port this morning and saw this growing………

 The flower’s life came in an end when Sadie come to investigate what I was doing, then she ate the flower, well part of it, I don’t think that it tasted very good!hahaha

All The Pretty Horses

Well it's actually 3 horses and 2 of them are pretty, the other one has a ugly head!Hahaha

Boogie and Blake have a love-hate relationship(Or can horses even have a relationship?!haha).

And this was my favorite one that I took!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day

It's gonna be a gorgeous day today!  The Killdees or Killdeers or whatever you wanna call them, are up caterwauling  this morning......

And Beauregard is in a Josie state of mind, laying out in the sun, soaking it up!

Ats my boy!

Meanwhile, the horses are in a hungry state of mind.....

They think that they're gonna starve to death or somethin!

And Mick, well Mick's always happy!

Blazer and Sadie were off chasing wood bees again and I couldn't get any pics of them!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I......Don't......Like......You!

Hippie Chick and Blake got to fighting the other night when dad was mowing the horse trap on the tractor.  Now in the picture above, Hippie Chick reared back and kicked Blake and then in this:

Blake was bucking/trying to chase Hippie Chick.

Blake finally stopped chasing Hippie Chick and started chasing Boogie.  While that was going on, I took this picture of Hippie Chick:

Ain't she pretty?!

Then Boogie got insulted that dad didn't put a round bail in the hay ring when he moved it.....

She gets insulted easily!!Hahaha

Wild horses keep dragging me away

Well, they're not really that wild but ya'll get the idea!  Lots of close up pictures, reason #1, I like close ups and reason #2, well, I didn't change my big lens before I went out so I had no choice but to take close up pictures!

All of my darling red heads but now it's time for Boogie!

Boooooooogie?

Watch the tail Boogie!

Oh, good enough!

Meanwhile.....

Her and the horses are buddies!

Oh, and one more.......

As my sweet aunt reminded me, Beauregard don't look to wild, but he is....on the inside he's wild.......Waaaaaay on the inside he's the wildest one in the bunch!!!!

Isn't this just gorgeous?!  I think that outta all God's critters, a horse is the prettiest!

I love them, call me a horse lover, cowgirl or just plain horse freak, I love 'em!

True, I might not have the skills to go saddle one and go rope cattle off it, if that crosses out being a cowgirl, then I guess I'm a horse freak who wears boots all the time!hahaha  Blake(in the picture, on the right) is on who you could ride around bareback all day, (though I doubt that it would be very comfy!) or go saddle him and work cattle on him.  Hippie Chick(on the left) will hopefully one day be one who is a calm as Blake, she's 4 years old and still needs to learn a little bit(get it? Bit, saddle, headstall? Oh forget it!) on the proper manners of being rode!  But one day, she'll learn them!  I've loved horses since I got my first one, Penny was her name.  She was a little sorrel mare but she didn't seem very little to me, I couldn't have been more than 4 years old when I first started riding her.  But I lost her to a lightning storm when I was 5 or 6.  Then we had  Flame, a horse that we acquired  from family.  He too seemed huge to me, but he was a gentle giant in my mind.  I remember dad leading him around the horse trap with me on Flame's back, my smile ranging from ear to ear.  Dad would lead him to the gate of the little lot that we fed him in and let go of the lead rope allowing Flame to trot as fast as his old legs could carry him up to the feed trough with me bunching along on his back, having a blast.  But he was getting on up there in years, and finally we had the vet put him to sleep.  Meanwhile, I have gotten another horse, a black one named Sundance.  But he was never a Penny or a Flame to me.  I guess in my first 4 or 5 years was where my obsession/ love of horses started, I never could(and never will) get enough of them!!  The smell of a horses and the look in their big soft eyes had my hooked from the very beginning!   I've been blessed all my life to have horses.   In a span of 11 years starting with Penny and right now with Hippie Chick, my love for horses has only grown more!  Never ever do I tire of watching my herd of horses graze in the horse trap!

Which is probably why I have more than a 1,000 pictures of my horses and dogs!hahaha
