Little bit of this and that....

When my Mom and I went to Minnesota to visit Gramps, they had a lot of flooding.  Here is a park close to the hospital that was flooded, and the signs made me giggle....


 This was the same place two weeks later. 


 The pond water was like glass one evening...it was peaceful and beautiful...



Things are starting to green up so I let the small group into the yard....a perk of living in the country....no rules about road apples being on the lawn.  :-)


 Last night I was in the barn lot when I heard hooves pounding....Batman and Tandee (older Arab mare) were blasting around the back of the house.  Tandee shaking her head and both of them kicking up their heels!  Another one of those times I wish I had a camera ready!  OMG!  Just occurred to me...Batman will be 2 in a few days!  :-) 


Sonic Boom enjoying the grass.  He wintered very well...such a handsome boy.  We will be starting over again.  He is an every day kind of horse for now, and after the long winter, we have not done much other than some petting and me reminding him how to yield hindquarters, etc.


We made a deal...he shows off his brand for the camera then I leave him a lone a while...



Last Sunday was a crazy weather day!  Bright blue sky, sun shining, dark fast moving clouds...and rainbows!  A few of them!  This is one of the doubles we saw...


We could see the whole thing on the lower one, but the upper double disappeared in the clouds.  Did not matter....it was awesome!



You know how I am with horsey noses....love them!  I love this one - Joker has this perfect V.



Nevada coming to visit....I thought this was pretty with the dark clouds and the sun kissing the newly bloomed trees.



The eyes have it!  Nevada checking things out...




Nevada wanted to give the suave and debonair look....isn't he quite handsome?


I was trying to get Millie and the other rainbow....then Nevada walked in and looked at me.  Almost like a little kid who is trying to jump in the picture as it is being taken!  Ha ha !



Tripp didn't want to lose his chance at the rainbow.  He wanted it all to himself but the chicken wouldn't leave...



Tripp and the rainbow right before it disappears...



Tandee's nose....



It started pouring down rain but the sun was partially shining.  It was so neat!


We have been so lucky with our weather!  My heart goes out to everyone who has had to deal with loss - human and home.  I really do hope the rest of the year settles down a bit. 

That is all I know for now....
Until later....Karen and Tripp who has been gloating because he has been getting extra attention.  :-)
