WhoooHoooo! Pierce Comes Home Today!!

The long awaited day has finally arrived...Pierce is coming home to the ranch today!!

Pierce
Pierce, half brother to Colt

I'm way more excited and happy than he's gonna to be...it's weaning day for the lil' guy. They're loading the mare and Pierce up this morning and bringing him...a whole 5 mile ride.

We'll unload them into the run behind the barn, close the gate, bring the mare out through the stall door...leaving Pierce behind...load up the mare again and off they go.

Colt's going to be in the run next to Pierce for moral support!

I'm so excited to see the two of them next to each other...photos coming of course!!

In the flower garden, tucked up next to the house out of the snow yesterday morning, this lil' guy is still runnin' in the summer sun!

Weather for Wednesday Is...

Cold and snowy...

I don't know for sure, but it seems that the most talked about subject on personal blogs and FaceBook is the weather. Is that boring? Well, I don't think so. I enjoy seeing photos and reading stories from different parts of the world...it's amazing how different everyone's lives are.

Yesterday, we had our first snow; yep, only October 23.

The snow was melted in all but the shadowed ground by mid-day. Shortly after feeding the herd as the sun rose in the east, the glorious sun began peeking through the partly cloudy skies for the remainder of the day.

(I apologize for the fuzzy photos...my camera at 1600 ISO gets pretty grainy)

Colt was runnin' 'n a buckin' in the cool mornin' air.

My favorite view

This morning, the second snow came shortly before dawn giving us more than yesterday. We'll take the moisture...we sure need it.
