Lazy and Farm aren’t typically words that go together, but when the weather suddenly hits near 90 degrees in the Spring (when it was in the 40’s) it can get lazy on the farm pretty quick!
So here’s a little taste of what’s been going on around the farm lately:
The farm is one of my favorite places to be, just spending time relaxing with all of my friends. 
This is totally going to be the name of my children’s book someday, “Farmyard Fun with a Dog in the Fog”. It sounds like something straight out of a Dr. Suess book.
And truth be told, I always have a lot of farmyard fun in the fog!
The damp blanket of foggy goodness seems to bring out all of my friends to play.
I’m always the first to grab a stick and entice my friends to join in the fun.
Catch me if you can ponies!
Before I could turn around to see who was joining me in this fun game of chase I was in the middle of nowhere, and the fog had covered me in it’s blanket!
I thought I might be lost.
Cricket got worried when she could no longer see my yellow coat in the pasture.
And Blitz began nickering for me so I could find my way back to my friends.
I’M COMING PONIES!
Phew! That was a close one!
The other morning on the farm things were looking a bit eery.
The fog rolled in over the hills and I could barely see in front of my nose.
I felt like I was on another planet as the sky molded into the ground and each step I took had me wondering what was on the other side.
As I drifted around the farm I began to think that this fog could be of no use to me what-so-ever.
But I shouldn’t have been so quick to to judge because Cricket reminded me that fog was one of the best type of “weather conditions” to go hunting in.
And that is why Cricket is my girlfriend! Love ya girl!
My Birthday weekend was a whirlwind of opening presents, hanging out at the shop, running on the farm, and curling up at home.
I’m still recovering from all the fun, but I thought I’d give you a little taste of what I’ve been up to via my Instagram photos….
Mom had her own busy weekend filled with weddings and ranch sorting with the ponies, but she still had time to give me the best Birthday ever! Thanks mom!
The construction on Trooper’s new house at the farm has really been moving along pretty quickly. Every time I come there is something new to look at.
I was admiring the handiwork from afar, when I decided, what the hey – lets go check it out!
Up close Trooper’s new house looked solid enough.
But with these big empty rooms, there is really only one way to know for sure if it’s going to hold up to the rigors of me and Trooper’s wrestle parties.
Time to fly!
Lucky for Trooper I’m such a good friend that I tested out and approved his new home for endless bounding. It gets my stamp of approval for wrestle parties too…..although we may want to add some carpeting.
I can’t wait until Trooper’s new house is ready! I’ve already staked out a few looking windows that have a straight line shot to viewing my groundhog holes – I have my paws crossed the construction workers don’t forget to add a doggie door. I hope Trooper lets me sleepover all the time!
Life on my family horse farm can be quite peaceful. I enjoy spending a lot of my time around the ponies – just quietly soaking in all the sounds and smells of the farm.
Yes – it CAN BE quite peaceful. But other days, there are groundhogs to hunt!
On these days, peaceful and quiet is not an option, as I’m sure you understand!
Just as I was finishing up my chores on the farm last week the sky began to darken – and not just because the sun was beginning to set.
The rain came and went leaving everything dripping wet on the farm, but it also left something pretty awesome behind.
A beautiful rainbow light up the hills behind the farm.
I’m not sure Nitro and Jet appreciated how spectacular it was as they stuffed their horsey faces with grass.
I on the other hand, know a good rainbow when I see one!
As I waddled about the farm enjoying my rainbow I couldn’t help but think that this is truly what SPRING is all about.
The garden is growing.
Even the weeds are sprouting.
And enjoying some rainfall under a rainbow on the farm is heaven….
…especially when it brings the earthworms out to play!
Mornings on the farm can be pretty peaceful.
I’m usually greeted at the door by my partner in crime, Spider the kitten.
Most mornings she yells at my mom to feed her – while I dart inside to figure out what new adventures there are to be had.
Sometimes the only “adventure” to be had is sunbathing in the morning sun. And that’s ok.
But other days, you just itch for something more exciting. Something that makes you want to shout from the roof tops your groundhog hole. And just when you think that there might not be any “adventures” to have – the heavens shine down and your day becomes glorious again – because you found a DEAD SNAKE!
And the only reasonable thing you can think of to do……
……roll on top of that sucker until you smell just as stinky as it does.
It really turned out to be a glorious morning on the farm, don’t you think?
But don’t worry, even if you didn’t find a “dead snake” this morning the day is not lost…..
…..because I’m more than happy to mail you my dead snake – so you can also have a glorious morning too!
This is me.
I’m a farm boy.
Follow me and I’ll show you around my farm.
Now you can see why I LOVE being a farm boy!
