more photos of the little guy

 Look at the blaze on his forehead and nose.

This little guy loves to run. He hasn't told us his name yet.

It's a Boy!

First photo of Harriet and her baby, grandmother behind

Harriet's baby arrived last night, Easter Sunday, April 8 around 8 PM. He's about an hour old in the photos and he's a pinto!  His grandmother, Fancy, looks on in the photos. She is a pinto, and it was her dark colt that got Harriet pregnant last year.  The baby seems to be doing fine so far. No name yet.

Support Women in the Arts Now

Amos and Fred admire the teapot display

Kate prepares for the Writer in Residence raffle

I tell Cheryl, the library director, about my book.

Peg arranges the Harney Basin Writers table.

Our local library participates in a national day of supporting women artists. I participated with a display of jewelry I made and I also handed out the cover and first chapter of The Forty Column Castle to visitors. There was good traffic and interest but I wish there would have been more women displaying their art. There was a great display of ceramic teapots made by locals and the 4-H club.

Happy Easter

Here's Jane with her latest male lamb. He's a cutie and a twin. She has four lambs so far this spring. No, he will not be the Pascal Lamb. He's more interested in jumping around the pasture. We had snow this week but it melts off fast. Harriet is still pregnant, but looking a little lop-sided today. 

Foal Alert

Harriet the Pony is pregnant and due any day.  Stay tuned!

Happy Spring

So we're having a little snow storm here for the first day of spring. I heard the weather in the East is blooming spring, as well as in Texas.  Even though it is snowing the temperatures are to hit the 50s this afternoon.  So that means, you guessed it, MUCK. Yesterday I dumped some leaves a neighbor gave us in a pile for the chickens. They had a grand time digging in it, including little chick who has managed to survive so far. And we still don't know if Harriet the pony is pregnant. Some say yes and some say no and we don't know. Only Harriet knows for sure.  Happy First Day of Spring!  -- the day the sun crosses the equator and starts its journey north to bring us summer. (Does she ever talk about anything besides chickens?)
