Christmas Barn!!

Thanks to my wonderful "husband to be" for hanging my awesome barn wreath!

We may need a farm name change....

 

Raquel, Robbie, George and Gilligan

April Fools

Robbie and I recently took a break from fencing and spent the weekend with my boss's grand children on their longhorn farm in Madison County (where Gilligan currently resides with his Welsh Pony buddy,"Button"). The family farm mainly breeds and sells Texas Longhorns but they also have a variety of farm animals they raise and two just happen to be burros! 

 Now, to an all around animal lover like myself nothing could be more adorable than a donkey "braying" but Robbie did not seem to find this adorable, not even in the slightest way!

How could Robbie not want you??!!

Despite Rob's feelings towards the little guys, I am still holding strong on my desire to have a burro on the farm. If however (and that is a small if), I happen to loose this battle, I will need to come up with a new name for the third "B".  Any ideas???

Whose great idea was it to spread the straw by hand? oh yeah...mine! Thanks to Blake Hawkins at Belle Meade Farm for supplying the straw to grow my pasture.

The Three Bs...

is the name on our classic 1984 horse trailer

 The local lady we bought the trailer from named her farm 3 B acres after her sons. I told Robbie not to scrape off the name just the numbers and now I am kind of attached to the 3 B.  In my spare time, I like to sit around and try to come up with meanings for the three Bs.  suggestions are welcome.....

Fox Friends

Foxes playing in the logs down at the soon to be pasture:)

One Big @#$ Stump

This was one of the many large stumps that Rob and his little tractor dug up!

Bonfires

Rob tending to one of the many brush piles to be burned, he stayed up most of the night with the piles, I gave up and went to bed..shame on me!
