Note from Sprucetree ranch

.

Diane Eckhout just informed me of the first new foal of the year. The mare Lulu is Easter's older sister, the filly's name is Jazz.


.

I have been kicking back the last couple of weeks Spring weather being what it is I haven't felt like fighting the elements on 2 out of 3 days off. Although a few trips around the placed revealed spring has come in the form of several plants breaking ground, trees leafing out and grass shooting up. Nice.

.
Well since the wind has calmed down Larry and I trimmed Dude's feet on Tuesday. That called for a trip to the fire place, complete with Baked potatoes, Baked red onions with wine & butter, all to compliment some of those fantastic Smoked Beef Ribs, from the beef Jerry Eckhout raised for me last year.
.
See you there sometime soon----Mikey.

PS: I love you Mom.

I'M Gonna Get It!

I remembered to catch Irene when she wasn"t being camera shy. She is forever working on the plants around here. These are the grape vines on my back porch, I pruned them back last week, or so I thought. She really does have the "Green Thumb". Can't wait for things to get started around here. I will find out if she's reading the blog if she prunes me with those things!



Kings Bit of Dash-( K-D ), has really calmed down. The wind was ferocious Tuesday. I stayed in the house reading most of the day, although there were a few times I just had to get out. Leave Me Alone policy still in effect!




Here's Easter getting ready for his Early afternoon nap, has to do that before his Mid and Late afternoon naps. Leave Me Alone!



As everyone can see we like to take it easy around here.

I would like to start the fire, but this wind is too much today, even a horse knows when to "Bush UP" and turn his tail to the wind.

"Bushing Up" now, talk to you later----------Mikey.

Be It Ever So!

.

Never get tired of looking around my back yard. Even though many have heard me say "It's not what I do see, It's what I don't see." Living in the city was fun, but I have had enough fun.

I never get enough of Mt. Charleston when there is snow. We like to keep the snow where we can keep an eye on it. The alfalfa fields are starting to come on now.

Good thing, this is all I have left, don't know if it's enough, you know how I am.

This photo was inspired by Dawn Marie, mainly for optical illusion purposes. Like to keep having fun, I don't believe my old truck could get this job done.



.
Still haven't fed these guy's since the last remark. Anyway we are getting more insects now that the weather is warming up. They can eat bug's. See the Victory Garden?

Fresh batch of limb's for the Bird Habitat.



The quail may come back since the Coyotes were here all winter. They look well fed! I don't see many cats around lately!

Too early and warm for a fire right now, but will see you there soon-------Mikey.

P.S. Love You Mom!
