Donna's mini horses do not mind the snow....they only come in to eat!

Spotted in a field outside Perry, ready to work. I love old tractors.
The grankiddos, hamming it up.
Lovely textures on the farm.
Donna loves to burn her prairie grasses. :)
Photos taken on the farm in late March, with some expired color film my grandpa gave me.

Luna loves the horses! She wishes they could come out to play....
Maggie and Donna took advantage of the near-70 degree temps on Thursday to work on the lasagna garden. This doesn't look like much in the picture, but it's a nice thick layer of bunny poo/bedding, topped with old hay. Next two layers will be composted horse manure and some leaves.
We spotted Elisabeth, one of our semi-feral rescued barn cats from P.E.T.S, checking out our progress as we cleaned old hay out of the barn (her home).

"Hey. Lady. Make with the food. Hungry horses here!"
"Why isn't she getting us food?"
"Stop clicking that thing at us...go in the barn...and make with the HAY!"
"Don't make me come out there!" *
*no mini horses were starved during the making of this blog post
